DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Oil and Gas Security and Service Market by Component (Solution and Services), Services, Security Type (Physical Security and Network Security), Operation (Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global oil and gas security and service market size is expected to grow from an estimated value from USD 25.3 billion in 2020 to USD 32.5 billion by 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.2% during the forecast period.

The oil and gas security and service industry is driven by various factors, such as growing political instability in Middle East and need to ensure compliance with industry regulations in oil and gas security and service market. However, high reliance on existing security solutions can hinder the growth of the market.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic is expected to impact the oil and gas security and service industry. The pandemic and subsequent response is already exerting pressure on governments, economies, households, and different industries across world. The oil and gas industry, both on shore and offshore, are mostly affected by Stuxnet and Exxon's Torrance. Fluctuation in oil prices and political instability in the MEA and APAC region have set the stage for cyber disasters in the oil and gas industry.

Service segment to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period

According to the deputy director of GCHQ, Brian Lord, the oil and gas industry is the second most susceptible sector to cyber-attacks. The upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors are highly digitalized, which makes them more prone to cyber-attacks. Companies are focusing more on security services to prevent such attacks. Viruses and malware are evolving daily due to which it becomes very difficult for old systems and security patches to identify threats. Consequently, organizations are updating security patches and software to secure themselves from cyber-attacks. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, companies such as NTT Security is started offering managed services to help oil and gas companies to manage their all aspects of cybersecurity. Increase in the number of connected devices, which raises the number of endpoints, has increased cyber issues recently. Moreover, lack of awareness about oil and gas security solutions and services, difficulty in the implementation of the IT technologies, and vulnerabilities associated with the cloud have also affected the oil and gas industry, which provides growth opportunities to service providers.

Solution segment to account for a higher market share during the forecast period

Oil and gas companies, which form the backbone of many regions, are facing unprecedented challenges due to various reasons, ranging from geopolitical issues to the obstacles created by the current pandemic. Onshore wells, offshore platforms, and oil and gas pipelines constitute the key assets of energy companies and ensuring the cybersecurity of these assets is critical for companies. To comply with regulations, upkeep asset performance, and utilize business resources optimally, oil and gas companies are switching to cloud technologies. Migration to the cloud makes organizations more vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which call for proper security measures. The increasing number of mobile devices, including personal and those used by field personnel, in utility companies' corporate networks has raised the chances of cyber-attacks. Consequently, the demand for security solutions has catapulted remarkably.

Middle East and Africa to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period

The oil and gas security and service market in Middle East and Africa is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rise of various terrorist groups and militias and vacuum created due to the ineffective governments in the Middle Eastern and northern African countries is propelling the need for oil and gas security solutions. In North America, there is a tremendous demand for oil and gas security and service.

  • Increased Expenditure by Oil and Gas Companies on Network and Physical Security
  • Growing Political Instability in Middle East
  • Need to Ensure Compliance With Industry Regulations

Restraint

  • High Reliance on Existing Security Solutions

Opportunity

Safe, reliable, accurate optical sensor technology allows utilities to mitigate grid disruption from increased renewable use

HORSEHEADS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Micatu, Incorporated, a leader in optical sensing solutions, today announced a $10 million growth investment led by WAVE Equity Partners, LLC. The financing will support the company’s continued global expansion and ongoing deployment of its proprietary GridView optical sensing platform for industrial and utility grid measurement solutions.


“Our nation’s electric grid is being disrupted daily by the increasing use of renewables, and optical sensing is the best solution for averting a crisis,” said Michael Oshetski, CEO and president of Micatu. “WAVE’s investment allows us to build out Micatu’s manufacturing scale to satisfy the growing global demand of a broad range of utility customers, who need our safe, reliable, precise grid data sensors.”

“We could not be more thrilled to be joining WAVE’s portfolio of companies and take our high-fidelity performance sensing platform to the next level,” said Michael Sexton, COO and executive vice president for Micatu. “We would also like to thank England & Company, Mintz, Williams Mullen, Troutman Pepper, and Janine Ogando for their professional services and support.”

Micatu’s GridView product line provides a measurement platform that enables utilities to collect more accurate data and provide actionable insights to improve power quality and grid reliability. The optical sensors are capable of monitoring multiple voltage classes, which reduces cost and installation complexity.

Active deployments of smart grid technology are enhancing the way utilities measure complex systems such as underground networks and substations. The sensors are non-conductive, taking measurements using light passed through an optical crystal rather than passing electrons. This enables the measurement platform to replace traditional current and potential transformers while increasing crew safety, averting potential fire risk, providing more accurate and smarter management controls, and lowering capital and operational costs. With overhead, underground, and groundless options available, the sensors can be easily deployed where they are most needed to collect data and enable seamless distribution automation applications for the next generation of the grid.

“WAVE is pleased to support Micatu with growth capital,” said Mark Robinson, managing director of WAVE Equity Partners. “Having worked with the management team for more than a year and hearing applause for their unique capabilities time and again from customers, we came to appreciate their technology leadership in the market and the team’s execution capability.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Maritime Satellite Communication - Global Market Outlook (2019-2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


According to this report, the Global Maritime Satellite Communication market accounted for $2.19 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $4.31 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period.

Increasing demand for broadband connections and VSAT connectivity, and high-throughput satellites to unlock cloud and IoT services are the major factors propelling market growth. However, lack of awareness about advanced maritime satellite services is hampering market growth.

Satellite communication technologies help to track the ships and cargo through the globe. VSAT terminals are communication terminals that allow transmitting and receiving text, audio, and video data using satellite broadband Internet services. These terminals operate as geostationary satellites on Ku, Ka, and C bands

Based on the end user, the commercial vessel segment is going to have lucrative growth during the forecast period due to the rising in trade activities using commercial vessels. Maritime trade continues to expand and bringing benefits for consumers across the globe through competitive logistics costs. With rising manufacturing and global trade, there has been a rise in the number of marine vessels added to the existing fleet. By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have lucrative growth during the forecast period due to high demands, specifically in the oil and gas, merchant shipping, mining, and passenger shipping verticals. The APAC region is implementing maritime satellite communication solutions significantly.
