Geotechnical Instrumentation and Monitoring Market Driven by Increasing Construction Activities

by Deepak Kumar Sr. SEO Executive


The key drivers for the geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring market are the expanding construction sector, strict government mandates regarding quality construction, and increasing awareness regarding safety standards.

From $3.1 billion in 2018, the market revenue is projected to rise to $6.1 billion in 2024, at an 11.8% CAGR during 2019–2024 (forecast period). Such instruments are used before construction, to analyze the soil quality, whereas after project completion, they are utilized to study the strength and durability of the finished structure.

Based on component, the market divisions are hardware, services, and software, among which services held the largest revenue share in 2018. This is attributed to the increasing need to monitor the condition of old and important structures, such as tunnels and dams, as a result of the stringent government regulations implemented to prevent sudden collapse, which is a key market driver. 

To mitigate the loss of human and wildlife in the event of a collapse, governments across the world have implemented strict mandates with regard to the quality of construction.

A key trend in the geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring market is the integration of microelectrochemical systems (MEMS) into geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring equipment. This is because of the rising usage of wireless and internet of things (IoT) technologies in different applications. 

The usage of MEMS technology-supported accelerometer for in situ vibration monitoring and deformation is growing. In these setups, sensors are placed at strategic positions for obtaining data and in-place inclinometers are used for optimizing data in order to obtain ground acceleration and deformation profiles up to a depth of 100 meters. Moreover, sensors arrays allow real-time monitoring as they can be connected to wireless stations.
