Pipeline safety market report focuses on the security technologies and solutions deployed across pipeline infrastructures (such as pipelines, control units, compressor stations and storage units) to protect them from leakages, physical and cyber attacks. The report is broadly segmented by solutions and technologies such as leakage detection solutions, surveillance solutions, pipeline integrity management solutions and network security solutions. The upstream (exploration and off-shore production) operations are expected to attract huge investments across the globe. The pipelines are considered to be ideal and cost effective mode of transportation from these offshore units to refineries and distribution units.
North America alone is estimated to have more than 50% of the global pipelines length transporting mostly natural gas, crude and refined oils and water across the regions. The recent demand for shale gas in the region is estimated to drive the pipeline market in this region. Recent increase in the use of natural gas for transportation and generation of power has forced the companies to ensure safe and efficient transportation of these products. Many government and private pipeline operators are implementing physical as well as cyber security solutions ensuring the safe and optimum utilization of their pipeline infrastructure. Various advanced technologies and solutions such as underground fiber optic solutions, distributed optic sensor networks, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) network security, pipeline leak detection systems, access control systems and intrusion detection technologies have found their way in the pipeline safety market. They are also implementing the network security solutions such as SCADA security systems, firewalls, anti-virus/malware, Unified Threat Management (UTM), virtualization solutions and Intrusion Detection System (IDS)/ Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) from preventing any threats ranging from cyber threats to criminal attacks.
