Crawler Camera System Market Opportunities and Challenges

The crawler camera system market is projected to reach USD 353 million by 2025 from USD 145 million in 2019; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period. The major drivers for the market’s growth are the rising demand from residential and municipal applications, increasing government mandates and regulations for pipeline assessment, growing demand for advanced inspection systems for underwater operations, and growing demand for sewer inspection. The introduction of magnetic crawlers will create growth opportunities for crawler camera system manufacturers. The major restraint for the market is the faster battery drainage of crawler camera systems. The time involved in the data analytics process in crawler camera systems poses a major challenge for this market.

Pipeline inspection using crawler camera systems is a speedy and cost-effective method for various industries such as oil & gas, water management, nuclear power, etc. Crawler cameras can reach difficult and blocked spaces inside pipes and provide live and recorded videos. These cameras can crawl through muck, scaling, and standing water. If they encounter a blockage, they send a clear image to the monitor and reverse to make room for cleaning the clogs or blockages. The camera and motorized mount are battery-powered and sealed to be intrinsically safe. Crawler camera systems can replace ultrasound and magnetic imaging, which are far more expensive and far less adaptable to the conditions in most field operations. Video recording and live streaming have eliminated time-consuming and costly digging or cutting to identify and locate problems. Pipeline inspection with crawler cameras can be done in diameters as little as six inches, with zoom head capability in pipes of eight inches in diameter or larger. Such systems also include high-pressure jet cleaning and jet rodding devices that help in removing scaling and clogging, and readying walls for repairs.

Many companies have launched crawler camera systems for pipeline inspection. For instance, in February 2019, CUES (US) launched QZIII, a lightweight, portable, HD wireless portable video inspection pole camera to perform inspection and surveys of pipelines. This camera can be operated by using a tablet. In September 2016, Mini-Cam (UK) launched the SOLOPro+ pipeline video inspection system that delivers an improved user experience for efficient inspections and accurate reporting of pipelines. In February 2017, Rausch (US) launched the Pure View SD camera at the WWETT Show in Indianapolis (US). It is a panomorphic video camera that can be connected to the L 135 crawler platform. It can record the entire pipe interior at 30 fps in a single continuous run.

Crawler camera systems are used in residential, commercial, municipal, and industrial verticals. The municipal segment is expected to dominate the crawler camera system market. Currently, many municipalities are using crawler camera systems to enhance the security levels and restrict the error percentage at the time of inspection from remote places. These factors are likely to propel the growth of the crawler camera system market. Government regulations and mandates imposed for municipal corporations regarding pipeline inspection, as well as the safety of pipelines and infrastructure, are the factors responsible for the growth of this segment.

APAC is a potential market for crawler camera systems with vast opportunities for the development and implementation of new technologies. Countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Australia are focusing on infrastructural and industrial development, which is expected to create opportunities for the crawler camera system market. APAC is the leading region in terms of increasing capacity of electricity and nuclear power generation. In this region, there are about 130 operational nuclear power reactors, 35 under construction, and plans to build an additional 70–80. This will lead to an increase in the construction of pipelines as pipelines are used extensively in nuclear power plants, with an average reactor comprising more than 7 miles of pipe. Crawlers and robotically operated vehicles (ROVs) are fast becoming the future of pipeline analysis. Therefore, the crawler camera market is expected to witness growth in this region.
