Machine Safety Global Market Report 2026

Machine safety involves the use of sensors, devices, or switches to control workplace accidents and enhance production efficiency. Its primary goal is to safeguard workers from the hazards associated with machinery and its potential detrimental effects. Machine safety controllers play a crucial role in monitoring both safety and non-safety input devices, enabling safe stop and start functions for machines with motion.

The main types of machine safety implementations include individual and embedded components. Individual machine safety components are utilized for specific machine elements, encompassing structural components, mechanics, and control components. These individual components, also known as hardware, consist of presence sensing safety sensors, safety interlock switches, safety controllers/modules/relays, programmable safety systems, emergency stop controls, and two-hand safety controls. Various systems, such as those in assembly, material handling, metalworking, packing, robotics, and others, require the incorporation of machine safety measures. Industries such as chemicals, food and beverages, aircraft and military, automotive, semiconductor and electronics, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, metals and mining, and more, make use of machine safety for their operations.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the machine safety market by increasing the cost of imported safety sensors, programmable safety controllers, interlock switches, emergency stop devices, and electronic modules. Manufacturing, automotive, and food processing industries in North America and Europe are particularly affected due to reliance on imported safety components, while Asia-Pacific suppliers face export competitiveness challenges. These tariffs are increasing system installation costs and delaying safety upgrades. However, they are also encouraging local production of safety devices, regional sourcing of components, and innovation in integrated and software-driven machine safety solutions.

The machine safety market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.17 billion in 2025 to $6.68 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to stricter workplace safety norms, industrial automation growth, reduction of workplace accidents, expansion of manufacturing facilities, adoption of safety relays.

The machine safety market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.16 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of safety with iiot, growth of collaborative robots, demand for real-time safety monitoring, smart factory expansion, regulatory enforcement. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of functional safety systems, integration with industrial automation, demand for smart safety devices, expansion of robotics safety solutions, compliance with safety regulations.

The implementation of strict machine safety mandates is expected to drive the growth of the machine safety market during the forecast period. Rising workplace accidents and inadequate public safety management have prompted various government and international organizations to introduce stringent machine safety regulations for workplace machinery. These mandates aim to ensure safer machinery use and improve overall safety management. For example, in December 2024, Industrial Safety & Hygiene News, a US-based media and publishing company, reported that a worker died every 99 minutes from a work-related injury in 2023, compared to every 96 minutes in 2022. Consequently, these strict safety mandates are fueling the growth of the machine safety market.

Leading companies in the machine safety market are concentrating on developing electronic circuit protection devices to improve operational safety, prevent equipment damage, and minimize downtime by effectively protecting machinery from electrical faults and overloads. Electronic circuit protection devices are specialized components designed to safeguard electrical circuits from overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuits, and thermal overloads. This innovation not only enhances safety but also supports energy efficiency in line with standards such as ISO 50001. For instance, in March 2024, Siemens AG, a Germany-based company, launched SENTRON ECPD, an electronic circuit protection device. The SENTRON ECPD can disconnect circuit faults up to 1,000 times faster than traditional devices, significantly reducing the risk of damage during electrical faults. Additionally, it occupies up to 80% less space in distribution boards compared to conventional solutions, making it ideal for modern electrical planning.

In January 2024, Clarion Safety Systems, a US-based provider of safety labels, signs, tags, and workplace-safety signage, acquired Arrow Industrial Solutions for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allowed Clarion Safety Systems to enhance its end-to-end machine safety offerings by integrating full-service machine guarding, safety-compliance solutions, and on-site safety system installations into its portfolio. Arrow Industrial Solutions, a US-based company, provides turnkey machine-safeguarding services, including mechanical guarding, control-reliable safety systems, safety-device installation, and compliance consulting.
