The U.S. distributed acoustic sensing market size is expected to reach USD 202.5 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. DAS technology monitors critical infrastructures such as bridges, tunnels, railways, and highways. By leveraging the sensing capabilities of DAS, operators can detect structural anomalies, assess the integrity of infrastructure components, and proactively identify potential failures or damages, enabling timely maintenance and repairs and enhancing the safety and reliability of transportation networks. In addition, DAS systems can be used for security and surveillance purposes in these sectors, providing real-time monitoring and detection of intrusions or security breaches.
The growth of the U.S. DAS market can be attributed to several factors, such as the increasing demand for real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making across critical infrastructure sectors. The rising preference for renewable energy and the need to optimize the performance of wind farms and solar installations present significant growth opportunities for the market. With the adoption of DAS systems, operators can monitor the health and performance of renewable energy assets in real-time, which enables early fault detection and improved maintenance strategies.
For instance, in April 2023, Prysmian S.p.A completed the acquisition of Omnisens. The acquisition was aimed at advancing the development of monitoring systems. As part of the acquisition, Prysmian's PRY-CAM portfolio of patented products, services, and technologies was combined with Omnisens' advanced distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) devices as well as distributed temperature sensing (DTS) Raman and Brillouin technologies to facilitate the monitoring and analysis of data.
Moreover, the rising trend of smart cities and the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are further fueling the adoption of the DAS technology in the U.S. DAS technology can be pivotal in smart building applications, intelligent transportation systems, and public safety initiatives, providing comprehensive monitoring and actionable insights. As DAS technology advances, with improved sensing capabilities, higher data resolution, and enhanced analytics, the market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period.
For instance, in May 2021, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. announced a collaboration with TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company ASA for creating advanced seismic imaging with fiber optic sensing. TGS-NOPEC Geophysical ASA's seismic imaging workflows that are used to process the complete seismic wavefield were integrated with the Halliburton Odassea, and FiberVS distributed acoustic sensing solutions for generating high-resolution basin images for the oil & gas industry as part of the collaboration.
