According to the latest industry analysis, the global market size for structural health monitoring is estimated to be around US$ 4,478.0 million in 2024. It is projected to exhibit a CAGR growth of 14.0% over the forecast period, with an estimated market size of US$ 16,601.1 million by 2034.

The construction and infrastructural development sector, in the last few years, is witnessing a significant boom, especially post-pandemic. Emerging economies are investing a considerable amount of money in constructing public utilities such as bridges, roads, and flyovers. This has resulted in an exponential expansion of the market for structural health monitoring solutions.

Structural failures such as bridge collapses and weakened flyovers have also led to a massive demand for structural health monitoring solutions. Governments across the world have mandated stringent structural integrity assessments to ensure maximum public safety, which is driving the demand for these solutions. The expansion of smart and self-sufficient cities in countries like India, China, Brazil, and Singapore has also amplified the adoption of structural health monitoring equipment.

Companies involved in the manufacturing of structural health monitoring systems are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for predicting the mechanical integrity of buildings. Technological advancements, such as the use of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for regular inspections and surveys, have also fueled the market expansion.

“Continuous innovation is the key in this market. Companies in the structural health monitoring market must come up with new innovations, like the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms to comprehensively assess and analyze structural data in real time,” opines an FMI analyst.
