    The global distributed fiber optic sensor market size is expected to reach USD 2,533.5 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2030.

 The distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS) market is expected to grow exponentially over the forecast period globally. Factors such as significant demand from the civil engineering vertical and rising adoption in the oil & gas sector substantially boost the adoption of distributed fiber optic sensors. Fiber optics can withstand rough handling, such as in pipes, streams, and reactors, where manual inspection is not feasible. Furthermore, they help in structural health monitoring at dangerous workplaces and can also be used for border security purposes to prevent intrusion. Thus, its capability to work in a challenging environment is another factor propelling the market growth.

 Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor Market Segmentation

For the purpose of this report, Grand View Research has segmented the distributed fiber optic sensor market based on application, technology, vertical, and region:

 Based on the Application Insights, the market is segmented into Temperature Sensing, Acoustic/Vibration Sensing, Other.

The temperature sensing segment dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of 45.3% in 2021. DFOS sensors help to generate a continuous profile of strain, acoustics, temperature, or conditions along the entire length of the fiber.

Deploying distributed temperature sensing systems (DTS) enables enterprises and organizations to engage in effective temperature measurement practices in challenging scenarios. The high accuracy of the technology being used and the ability to be deployed in several industries such as oil and gas, industrial, civil engineering, and power and utility drive the market for the technology. 

Acoustic and vibration sensing also captured nearly 39% revenue share in 2020, thus showcasing the importance of the technology and application for various uses. However, the high cost of deployment and technological complexities act as refraining factors for the market.

 Based on the Technology Insights, the market is segmented into Rayleigh Effect, Brillouin Scattering, Raman Effect, Interferometric, Bragg Grating.

The Raman Effect technology segment captured the highest revenue share of more than 38.0% in 2021.

This can be accredited to the use of technology in critical situations such as the safety of large structures, coolant leak detection, and fire detection with uses in advanced data processing practices.

The Rayleigh effect segment is expected to offer significant growth opportunities to the market. It is due to the technology's ability to measure almost all physical parameters such as strain and temperature.

 Based on the Vertical Insights, the market is segmented into Oil and Gas, Power and Utility, Safety and Security, Industrial, Civil Engineering.

The oil and gas segment dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of 36.0% in 2021. Also, other verticals, including power and utility, safety and security, industrial, and civil engineering, have a major impact on the market's growth.

DFOS is essential in real-time and accurate downhole measurement for optimized performance, leading to real-time data-driven decision-making. The use of fiber optics for Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) helps solve daily oil and gas field encounters, which is further offering an impetus to market growth.

The power and utility sector has gained significant revenue share due to increasing demand amongst electric utility companies for localization and hot spot detection, smart grid, and ampacity.

N.L. crab fishers taken aback by DFO’s latest details on crab data | Local | News

[ad_1]

Alfred Fitzpatrick says it seems the opinions of fish harvesters aren’t carrying much weight with the science branch of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) as of late.

“We always thought we had a pretty good relationship with DFO Science – when it come to crab anyways, cod is another story,” said the Garnish-based fishermen, who represents harvesters from the Burin Peninsula in…

I play this game called DFO and.. am not very active, but I run this thread on a fanforum that does a little modding work. :v

So if anyone happens to pass by and plays.. well, take a look I s'pose.
