Global Safety Light Curtain Market is valued at approximately USD XX billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a growth rate of more than 5% over the forecast period 2023-2030. A safety light curtain, also known as a light guard or light barrier, is an optoelectronic device used for safeguarding personnel and preventing access to hazardous areas in industrial environments. It consists of a sender unit and a receiver unit, which are typically mounted on opposite sides of the area to be safeguarded. The Safety Light Curtain market is expanding because of factors such as growing demand for industrial automation as well as strict government regulations and safety standards.
Additionally, the main driver of this market's growth is the rapid expansion of e-commerce in emerging economies as well as the increased use of automation in facilities to do repetitive operations. This allows for better resource allocation, which improves the quality of manufactured goods. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, in 2022, the Indian e-commerce market was valued at USD 74.8 38.5 billion in 2017 and is anticipated to reach USD 200 billion and USD 350 billion by 2024 and 2030, respectively. Also, according to International Trade Administration, consumer eCommerce makes up 30% of the UK's overall retail sector (up from 20% in 2020), with an annual ecommerce revenue of more than USD120 billion. In 2021, 82% of people in the UK made at least one online purchase. The development of new technologies such as safety light curtains with higher resolution and faster response times as well as rising awareness about workplace safety has fueled the market growth. However, the high cost of installation of Safety Light Curtain stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Safety Light Curtain Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 with the largest market share. Due to the region's prominence as a manufacturing hub, major automakers, and suppliers are heavily investing in the region's smart factory market, including Tata Motors in India and Hyundai Motors in South Korea. These companies include Volkswagen of Germany, Toyota of Japan, Renault-Nissan of the Netherlands, and Daimler of Germany. Most major businesses across a variety of industries have relocated their manufacturing facilities to Asia Pacific as a result of the region's low operating expenses. The key factor that is anticipated to fuel the safety light curtain market's expansion in the Asia Pacific region is the rising number of automation initiatives in the process and discrete sectors. Asia Pacific is also expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The factors such as increasing demand for safety light curtain devices are the rising mortality rate caused due to workplace hazards and the development of Industry 4.0 as a result of technological advancements are fostering the market growth during the estimated period.

The ELC 100 safety light curtains are suitable for applications with operating ranges up to six meters and enable for guarding with close safety distances. The tools' ease of installation and integration makes machine designs more accessible. Modern Leuze safety technology is now available to manufacturers and users of equipment and systems for the cost-effective contactless protection of operational points.
- In February 2022, New 7- and 8-foot IP65-rated light curtains are added to the EZ-Screen LS-S line by Banner Engineering (US). With a detection range of 10 metres, it is ideal for covering large areas in material handling, packing, and manufacturing applications. Additionally, it has dual-scan technology to shield the sensor from strobe lights, ambient light, radio frequency interference (RFI), welding flashes, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- In March 2021, Datalogic purchased M D Micro Detectors (MD) with the goal of becoming the biggest industrial automation hub in Italy. Datalogic further wants to enhance its market share by utilising synergies between numerous products of both companies, such as sensors, safety goods, and VISION systems.
