Global Power Air Purifying Respirator Market by Product (Hoods & Visors, Half Mask, Full Face Mask, Helmets), by End-use (Industrial, Healthcare) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global power purifying respirator market was worth USD 1.91 billion in 2019. It is projected to grow at an 8.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2020 and 2027. The demand for Power Air Purifying Respirator is expected to rise due to favorable government regulations regarding employee safety and the emergence a number of infectious biohazards. Market growth is expected to be stimulated by increasing awareness about employees' safety and health, as well as rising industrial deaths due to respiratory disease in developing countries. The long-term growth of the PAPR market will be driven by safety standards set forth by regulatory agencies such as OSHA and the European Commission. These are mainly found in Europe and North America.

Long-term PAPR demand will be driven by strict regulatory norms that protect employees' safety and health in high-risk activity like mining, oil and natural gas extraction, and construction. The U.S. is expected to see an increase in investments in the defense and military sectors. Product demand is expected to rise due to growing concerns about high-risk activities in many industries, including healthcare.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization (WHO), have established strict regulations regarding threshold levels for healthcare workers worldwide. Over the forecast period, PAPR will be in high demand due to the existence of safety and health conventions for workers.

The PAPR motors that are powered by batteries play an important role in providing filtered air to helmets and head caps such as the hood, facepiece, or helmet. Facepieces can be fitted with cartridges that filter particulate matter as well as toxic fumes. The operating environment of the user is the main determinant of which filters are chosen. The component manufacturing companies are responsible for obtaining approval from regulatory bodies in the respective regions.

The main reason that PAPR is still more popular in hospitals than in other healthcare sectors has been the lack of expertise and training in using PAPR. Other than the healthcare sector, high-risk industries like fire service, construction, oil and gas, and industrial have to use PAPR to reduce workplace-related deaths and illnesses.

Product Insights

Full-face masks held 51.1% of the market share in 2019, and are expected to grow at the fastest CAGR between 2020-2027. To increase the use of full face PAPRs in order to protect while still performing light and medium work rates. This includes sustained arm movements and similar to brisk walking. The product's optimal level of protection will likely drive demand for it in the healthcare sector during the COVID-19 epidemic.

A wide variety of industrial applications can be fitted with helmets, hoods and visors. The market is expected to grow due to the growing construction and oil-and gas industries in the Middle East.

The half-mask PAPR was designed to comply with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH), and has been tested and certified by NIOSH laboratories. Further testing and certification of respiratory protection for emergency and fire services is done according to the National Fire Protection Association standards. The market is expected to grow due to rising demand in emerging countries for respiratory protection.

Half-mask PAPR offers greater protection than N95 masks because it contains P100 high efficiency filters or High-Efficiency Particulate Air filters (HEPA). Half-mask PAPR's compact and lightweight design helps to increase demand during the forecast period. These products can be used for metal fabrication, welding, high dust environments and mining, quarries and grain. They also help in food handling, healthcare, and biological material handling.

End-use Insights

In 2019, the market's largest segment, the industrial segment, accounted for 16.6% of the total. The demand for respiratory protection equipment, including PAPR, is expected to rise in Asia Pacific regions, especially in automotive, metal forming and manufacturing. This will help protect employees from inhaling particulate matter, gases, and vapors.

In 2019, 10.1% of overall revenue was accounted for by the fire services segment. Employers are focusing on worker safety because of the increasing number of fire incidents and blowouts. This will drive product demand in the next few years.

Metal fabrication workers are constantly exposed to asbestos. This can lead to mesothelioma, which affects the protective layer of the internal organs including the heart and lungs. This will increase the demand for power-air purifying respirators in metal fabrication.

Workers in the beverage industry may be exposed to chemicals, hazardous dust and fibers that could cause lung diseases. Many organizations recommend the use of the appropriate PPE to protect workers from occupational hazards. This is likely to have an impact on the future demand for PAPR.

Regional Insights

North America was the dominant market, accounting for 39.7% of global revenue in 2019. The forecast period will see increased demand for regional products due to strict safety regulations in asbestos mining and awareness raising among employees regarding personal and respiratory safety.

Over the forecast period, the rising number of respiratory hazards from exposure to hazardous particulates in many core industries such as metal fabrication, oil and gasoline, and refining will drive up demand for European powered air-purifying respiratory respirators.

Over the forecast period, product demand will be driven by increasing investments in construction, manufacturing, food and beverages sectors. China and India will likely see significant growth in electronics and automobile manufacturing. Over the forecast period, PAPR demand will be driven by strict norms regarding employees' safety in high-risk activities.

The economic growth of many countries, including Chile and Colombia, will be influenced by increasing investments in defense, agriculture, and healthcare industries. In the next few years, South America will see a rise in demand for PAPR due to strict government regulations regarding safety and exposure to toxic gases.
