"Temperature sensing application expected to hold the largest share of the distributed fiber optic sensor market during the forecast period"

Distributed temperature sensing was the first application of distributed fiber optic sensors in the market. Increasing demand for data-based decision-making, coupled with the cost-effectiveness of distributed fiber optic sensors, is driving the distributed fiber optic sensor market for temperature sensing application. Along with this, increasing demand in the applications related to structural health monitoring purpose would also play a major role in driving the market. Halliburton and Schlumberger are the two largest oil and gas service providers which are involved in the manufacturing of distributed fiber optic sensors for temperature sensing application.

"Distributed fiber optic sensor market for civil engineering vertical is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period"

The market for civil engineering vertical is expected to grow at the highest rate primarily because of increasing necessity of structural health monitoring for geotechnical monitoring, pipeline monitoring, bridge monitoring, tunnel monitoring, and dam monitoring, among others. Distributed strain, acoustics, and temperature sensing are equally important for the applications based on structural health monitoring. Along with this, provision of a better understanding of structural conditions and the cost-effectiveness of infrastructure management are the primary reasons making their use suitable for structural health monitoring.

"APAC and North America are expected to be the fastest-growing and the largest markets, respectively, during the forecast period"

The market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The market in APAC is further subsegmented into India, China, South Korea, and Rest of APAC. The increased demand for distributed fiber optic sensor systems in oil and gas, and power and utility verticals and the strong presence of major players in APAC are the two crucial factors encouraging the market in this region. The market in North America is further segmented into U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The companies situated in North America are focusing on boosting their production and widening their distribution networks, and the manufacturers are deploying new technologies in their operations. Owing to these reasons, North America continues to dominate the distributed fiber optic sensor market based on region.
