Respiratory Protection Equipment Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Camera Type (Short-Wavelength, Mid-Wavelength, Long-Wavelength), By Device Type (Un-Cooled, Cryogenically Cooled), By End-User Industry (Military And Defense, Construction, Manufacturing, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2021 To 2026

The global respiratory protection equipment market is evaluated at US$ 6.879 billion for the year 2019 growing at a CAGR of 7.04% reaching a market size of US$ 11.076 billion by the year 2026.

Exposure to harmful substances such as chlorine, ammonia gases or solvents, and paint in liquid form among many others can occur in the workplace. These exposures are hazardous to employees’ health and therefore organizations need to implement policies to protect their employees. Respiratory protective equipment is designed to protect the wearer from perilous surroundings at hazardous work locations. Breathing apparatus such as visors, helmets, masks, and hoods or respirators filter contaminants from workplace air several types of Respiratory Protection Equipment (RPE).

Regulations by different governments involving workplace security are the major driving force for the global respiratory protection equipment market. Technological innovations for enhancing RPE and a special focus on comfort and personalization for proper fit increasing the effectiveness of the equipment are also boosting the market growth. However, limitations of RPE such as limited application in areas with a high concentration of chemical contaminants or poorly fitted equipment, and lack of its utilization where oxygen is deficient may impede the overall market growth.

Increasing investments by major market players into research and development are enhancing the capabilities and reliability of these solutions, thus making them fit for use in a wider range of applications even in the harshest atmospheres. This is fueling the adoption of these solutions among the various end-users. North America and Europe hold a significant share of the global market on account of stringent regulations regarding workers’ safety in these regions. Booming industries in these regions are contributing to the increasing demand for this equipment in these regions. The market in the Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness impressive growth on account of the rapid growth of industries in this region.

Rising incidences of mesothelioma, cancer that affects the protective lining of the internal organs, including the heart, lungs, and abdominal cavity, are further anticipated to boost the market growth over the forecast period. It is commonly caused by exposure to asbestos across various industries, including construction, manufacturing, factory, textile mill, power plants, and shipyards.
