3. MARKET INSIGHTS 3.2 FACTORS DRIVING THE MARKET 3.2.1 INCREASING FOCUS ON SAFETY AND SECURITY OF PERSONNEL EMPLOYED IN POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS The growing demand for electricity and petrochemicals is driving creating opportunity for enterprises to explore new sources of energy. These areas have high concentration of flammable gases and dusts which are hazardous to the safety of the persons employed there. This has led to formation of various regulations and safety standards which help in checking the accidents and ensure safety. In the U.S. the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for ensuring safe working conditions for employees in the workplace similar bodies are present across the world which make sure the safety of persons working at hazardous locations. These regulatory bodies identify the products and safety standards which need to be followed by the companies operating these locations. The companies while adhering to the standards have to procure and install equipment that demonstrate compliance with the regulatory body guidelines. These equipment are mostly intrinsically safe certified by agencies like Factory Mutual Research Corporation, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association, the ATEX directive and others.

3.3 FACTORS RESTRAINING THE MARKET 3.3.1 INDUSTRY STANDARDS VARY ACROSS DIFFERENT REGIONS The intrinsic standards vary across different geographical regions. The U.S. which has Factory Mutual Research Corporation and Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canada has Canadian Standards Association. Similarly Europe has the ATEX directive for intrinsically safe equipment. These standards make it difficult for the manufacturers to manufacture equipment which are compliant to different geographical needs. This becomes a barrier for manufacturing enterprises to produce and market their products seamlessly across different regions. Thus, intrinsically safe equipment manufacturers have to produce those equipment which are compliant with multiple standards or change their processes to cater to demands of different countries. For large scale manufacturers this is still possible but acts as a barrier to entry for small scale industries which want to cater to different customers.
4. TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW 4.2 TYPES OF INTRINSICALLY SAFE EQUIPMENT 4.2.1 ISOLATORS Isolators provide power limitations on an intrinsically safe circuit. Isolators and barriers both have the same functionality but isolators use more complex electronics and are more tolerant to supply voltage. These isolators have ability to detect short circuits or line break in the field and report back to the main system. Generally isolators are preferred solution in marine installations and Germanic zones of influence but different other form of it like Ethernet isolators designed especially for temporary installations and mobile apparatus as well as for machinery and equipment.

Intrinsically safe equipment market for North America is estimated at $459.36 million. It is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 6.50% for the period 2014 to 2019. The total market value by the end of 2019 is estimated to reach $629 million. The growing demand for energy which is driving the need for exploration of mines and oil fields is driving the demand for these products. Recent shale gas boom has reduced the dependence on Middle East oil. The hazardous nature of gas mined requires strict safety standards and regulations. These factors are augmenting the demand for intrinsically safe products which will continue to gain traction in near future.
