Key Segmentation Analysis:

By Resolution

9–24 mm segment in 2025 accounted for the highest revenue share around 45.06% and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5.3% during the forecast period. The segment's growth is driven by its highest sensitivity detection for fingers and hands protection in small industrial machines. 25–90 mm segment is expected to grow with the fastest CAGR of approximately 7.98% during the forecast time period of 2026 to 2035 due to the needs for heavy-duty and body protection, particularly across automotive and packaging industries.

By Component

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) garnered the highest revenue share due to their (LEDs) efficiency, life, and sense of heat generation at 34.55% in 2025. Photoelectric Cell is expected to experience the highest CAGR growth rate, 7.98% during the period of 2026 to 2035 due to the development in smart sensor and integration into automatic safety measures.

By End User

The Automotive segment market revenue in 2025 captured the largest revenue share by 24.54% as these machines responsible for maneuvering, assembly, and welding require precise and dependable safety systems to minimize downtime and protect human safety. The Semiconductors & Electronics segment is expected to witness a significant growth rate of nearly 9.16% from, 2026 to 2035 owing to the rising investments in cleanroom automation and microelectronics with demand for compact high-resolution safety curtains.

Regional Insights:

In 2025, North America's revenue share was around 32.12%, with the United States holding the highest market share. The region is distinguished by a high level of technological penetration, strict regulatory requirements, and a strong industrial automation system. It is also in a good position because it has manufacturing facilities and one of the major players.

Between 2026 and 2035, the Asia Pacific area will continue to have the fastest growing CAGR, at about 8.61%. These drivers include growing industrialization, the expansion of the automotive and electronics industries, and supportive government policies from different nations to promote smart manufacturing.

Lack of Knowledge and Technical Expertise May Impede Market Expansion Globally

This is particularly true in poorer nations where businesses may lack sufficient knowledge about the features and advantages of cutting-edge safety technology, such as light curtains. When there is desire, a shortage of skilled workers who can install, calibrate, and maintain these systems could lead to incorrect deployment or underutilized equipment. The lack of technical expertise and the sporadic enforcement of safety regulations slow down the adoption process. Furthermore, the market penetration in these regions is also constrained by misconceptions about the efficacy and dependability of photoelectric safety systems.
