This report on pipeline safety market provides details about latest trends, advancements, challenges, opportunities and competitive outlook for the industry. Pipeline system is a vital part of transportation and energy supply across the world, with connections to other critical infrastructures such as power plants and airports. Post 9/11 attacks, the governments across the world have issued security frameworks mentioning pipelines as potential terrorist targets. They have framed various pipeline safety and recovery protocol plans to address the issues relating to prevent, protect, respond and recover from infrastructure security lapse. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) design the frameworks to improve security and enhance recovery mechanism.

Many pipelines across the world carry volatile and flammable materials that can have serious implications on public and environment safety. They are also the potential targets because of the type of products transported through them and also because of the widespread distribution of the pipeline networks. These pipelines face the threat of attacks, both physically and virtually resulting in disruption or release of its contents. Due to online networking, implementation of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and other technological implementations, pipelines are now prone to cyber attacks across the control systems, thereby making it impossible to uniformly protect the pipeline system.

The rise in the terrorist activities all over the globe has also raised concerns about the security.
