by The distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) market utilizes fiber optic cable sensors to detect and locate acoustic signals along extended infrastructure such as oil and gas pipelines, railways, and borders. DAS offers operators continuous monitoring capabilities along entire assets with measurement resolution of just one meter or less. It enables detection of leaks, third-party interference, personnel movements, and infrastructure issues in real-time.
The global distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) market is estimated to be valued at US$ 701.01 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Fiber optic sensor advances are broadening DAS applications. The development of integrated optical components is expanding the utility of DAS beyond oil and gas infrastructure to areas such as perimeter security and structural health monitoring. Miniaturized interrogator units combined with multi-core optical fiber cables enable highly scalable and cost-effective DAS solutions. Multi-lane interrogation protocols double acoustic sensing coverage without increasing cable count. Such technological developments are expected to drive increased adoption of DAS across diverse industrial verticals over the forecast period.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) helps monitor infrastructure integrity by detecting seismic movements, vibrations, and acoustic signals along an optical fiber. It offers high spatial resolution and can monitor long distances of up to 100km on a single optical cable.
Weakness: The initial costs of deploying DAS systems can be high due to expenses associated with installing optical fiber cables and converters. It also requires specialized skills and knowledge to interpret data obtained from DAS.
Opportunity: Growing demand from oil & gas industry for pipeline monitoring and leak detection presents an opportunity. Increasing investments in critical infrastructure projects also offer scope for wider adoption of DAS technology for monitoring purposes.
Threats: Availability of alternative monitoring techniques like geophones can pose competition. Dependency on a small number of global players for supply of DAS equipment is also a challenge.
