Safety Laser Scanner Market Outlook - 2026

Safety laser scanners are the electro-sensitive protective device (ESPE). They are used for scanning the surroundings with the use of infrared laser beams. With the help of laser beams, the safety laser scanner detects or forms a protective field for protecting from hazardous area. Safety laser scanner uses time of flight technology that is beneficial for calculating the position based on the time it takes for the laser to bounce off an object and return to the unit. In short, safety laser scanners immediately detect or sense the objects if it is near the protective field. 

The safety laser scanner market is expected to witness significant growth from 2019 to 2026 due to surge in demand for automation in different industry verticals such as automotive, healthcare, and others. In healthcare sector, lasers are used for improving patient safety. In addition, safety laser scanners are broadly used in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry for drug manufacturing that is the process of industrial scale, which requires continuous monitoring of an object and accuracy. Laser-based safety scanners play an important role in warehousing, packaging, and logistics operations in manufacturing industries. For instance, safety laser scanners are used in autonomous monitoring vehicles or movable service robots for industrial use. These scanners are equipped in warehouse areas also for transport and storage. Thus, all these factors are highly responsible for the market growth.

Factors such as increase in fatalities in workplaces, rise in usage of mobile safety laser scanners, and surge in need for high user friendliness, seamless integration, and high-power efficiency drive the safety laser scanner market growth. However, high cost and safety mats offering similar protective solutions are expected to restrain the market growth. Furthermore, increase in safety and security measures regarding use of machinery and rise in stringent government regulations in many countries for safety of worker are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the safety laser scanner market. 

The safety laser scanner market is segmented into three categories by type, end use, and region. Based on type, the market is bifurcated into mobile safety laser scanner and stationary safety laser scanner. By end use, it is categorized into automotive, food & beverages, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, and others. Based on region, the market is divided into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and LAMEA.
