Based on offering, the hardware segment dominated the global market with a share of over 40% in 2023. The deployment of structural health monitoring systems requires significant investment in hardware components such as sensors (strain gauges, accelerometers, displacement sensors, etc.), data acquisition systems, and analyzers. These components are essential for the core functionality of structural health monitoring systems, leading to substantial initial costs. Continuous advancements in sensor technology including the development of more accurate, durable, and miniaturized sensors drive the demand for new and replacement hardware. Innovations in hardware significantly impact the market by improving the overall performance of structural health monitoring systems.

Based on end-use industry, the civil infrastructure segment will hit USD 3 billion by 2032 and is expected to register a CAGR of over 10% during 2024 to 2032. Many countries, especially in developed regions including North America and Europe, have extensive aging infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, dams, and buildings. The need to monitor and maintain these structures to prevent failures and ensure safety fuels the demand for structural health monitoring systems.

Governments worldwide are increasingly implementing stringent regulations and policies to ensure the safety and maintenance of public infrastructure. Large-scale government investments and initiatives in infrastructure projects further boost the demand for structural health monitoring solutions in this segment. Ensuring the safety of civil infrastructure is critical for public safety. SHM systems facilitate the early detection of structural issues, enabling preventive maintenance and reducing the risk of catastrophic failures, which is a key priority for public authorities.

Asia Pacific region captured about 40% share of the structural health monitoring market in 2023. Many countries in the region including China, India, Japan, and South Korea are undergoing rapid urbanization and significant infrastructure development. The construction of new bridges, highways, skyscrapers, and other critical infrastructure boosts the demand for structural health monitoring systems to ensure safety and durability. Governments in the region are investing heavily in infrastructure projects and are becoming aware of the importance of maintaining structural integrity. Initiatives, such as China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and India’s Smart Cities Mission, highlight the importance of structural health monitoring technologies in large-scale infrastructure projects.
