The study involved major activities in estimating the current market size for the functional safety market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the functional safety industry. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain using primary research. Different approaches, such as top-down and bottom-up, were employed to estimate the total market size. After that, the market breakup and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments of the functional safety market.

In the secondary research process, various secondary sources were referred to for identifying and collecting information related to the study. Secondary sources included annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of blockchain vendors, forums, certified publications, and whitepapers. The secondary research was used to obtain critical information on the industry's value chain, the total pool of key players, market classification, and segmentation from the market and technology-oriented perspectives.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after understanding and analyzing the current scenario of the functional safety market through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with the key opinion leaders from the demand and supply sides across four main regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of Europe. Approximately 25% of the primary interviews were conducted with the demand-side respondents, while approximately 75% were conducted with the supply-side respondents. The primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephone interviews.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primary. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report. The breakdown of primary respondents is as follows

Market Definition
Functional safety systems are composed of sensors, logic solvers, switches, and final control elements, which are planned and installed to protect personnel, equipment, and the environment. Functional safety systems prevent or reduce the risk of abnormal process conditions that can occur in an industry. These systems are engineered to perform specific control functions to maintain safety in a process operation when unacceptable or dangerous conditions occur. There is an increased requirement for functional safety in industries to ensure uninterrupted operations, reliability, and safety of processes under all conditions.
