Global Respiratory Protective Equipment Market by Product (APR, SAR), by End Use (Construction, Mining, Oil & Gas, Industrial) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global respiratory protective equipment market was valued at USD 6.62 million in 2019. It is expected to grow at a 9.4% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2020 and 2027. The demand for respiratory protective equipment (RPE) will rise due to rising incidence of infectious biological hazards like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Ebola Virus Disease and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. The RPE market is expected to be boosted by favorable occupational safety regulations that will improve worker safety in different industries. The market will continue to grow due to increased demand for personal protection equipment (PPE) owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The largest share of the North America Respiratory Protection Equipment (RPE), market was held by the United States in 2019. This is due to high product penetration and increasing employee safety awareness. The largest share of the U.S. revenue came from the air-purifying respirator product category, which is highly prevalent in the oil and gas, and mining sectors.

Market growth is expected to be boosted by rising incidences of mesothelioma. This cancer affects the protective layer of the internal organs including the heart, lungs and abdominal cavity. Exposure to asbestos is common in many industries such as construction, manufacturing, factory and textile mills, power plants and shipyards.

There has been a significant increase in the demand for high-performance, multi-functional protective equipment. Manufacturing methods are also becoming more complex due to changing consumer preferences in terms of fashion and comfort, as well as diversifying end-use markets for respiratory protective gear. This is one of the challenges facing the industry.

COVID-19 has caused a surge in demand for PPE, such as medical masks. To address this problem, many manufacturers have increased their production capacity and expanded their manufacturing facilities in order to meet growing demand. This is expected to have a positive effect on the market.

Product Insights

The market leader in 2019 was the Air-purifying Respirator (APR), which accounted for 52.97% of the total revenue. APRs can be used to protect against particulates like smoke or fumes. These respirators protect employees from vapors or gases at lower atmospheric concentrations than the normal atmospheric concentration. There are three types of APRs that are commercially available: negative pressure, positive pressure and escape-only respirators.

The Powered Air Purifying Respirator uses a motor blower and pushes the air through the air-purifying elements. These units are intended to protect employees against harmful particles, gases, or vapors. The PAPRs have a lower level of breathing resistance than non-powered APRs. This results in less stress and fatigue, and thus increases productivity.

Over the forecast period, the Supplied Air Respirator product segment will experience a 9.2% CAGR. Supplied air respirators offer high-level respiratory protection. They also provide positive pressure to the mask, which prevents leakage. The Asia Pacific's growing pharmaceutical and healthcare industry is expected to drive product demand during the forecast period.

The self-contained breathing apparatus supplies pure, dry compressed oxygen to a full facepiece mask via an hose. After that, the air is exhaled into the environment. This type of protection is used when a worker enters environments that are Immediately Dangerous To Life or Health (IDLH), or when there is insufficient information to rule out an IDLH environment.

End-use Insights

The market for respiratory protective equipment (RPE), which was 18.88% of global revenue in 2019, was led by the industrial segment. The rising demand for respiratory protection equipment in the industrial sector is due to its use in various industries, including textile, metal fabrication, and sports goods manufacturing. Market growth is also likely to be driven by rapid industrialization in China, India and Malaysia as well as continuous improvements in occupational safety and health standards.

Many airborne contaminants are associated with the petrochemical/chemical industry, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hydrocarbons that are released from industrial processes. Exposure to these contaminants can lead to respiratory diseases and even cancer. Many petrochemical processes are not possible without the use of engineering controls and administrative controls. This will promote RPE demand.

Over the forecast period, the oil and gas segment will see a 9.2% increase in its end-use. There have been many respiratory hazards associated with the oil and gas industry, including exposures to silica as well as hydrogen sulfide and . Exposure to these hazards at work can put lives at risk. Therefore, the industry is focusing on safety and occupational health regulations to protect workers.

Exposure to biological agents is common in the healthcare industry. This includes bacteria, fungi and viruses. OSHA's guidance on proper use of respiratory protection in the healthcare sector and the rise of infectious diseases such as Ebola and Influenza A (H1N1) are expected to fuel market growth.

Regional Insights

North America was the dominant market, accounting for 39.37% of global revenue in 2019. Over the forecast period, regional demand will be driven by strict safety regulations and increased employee safety awareness in many industries. The regional market growth will be supported by the expansion of North American industries, such as oil & Gas, chemicals, and manufacturing.

Europe is expected to grow at 9.0% per year over the forecast period. The forecast period will see an increase in respiratory hazards and a greater demand for RPE because of the increased exposure to hazardous particulates from core industries like metal manufacturing, oil and gasoline, and refining.

Asia Pacific is home to a thriving pharmaceutical, mining, construction, and other industries. They use a wide range of respiratory products, including disposable and non-disposable, self-contained breathing apparatus and powered air-purifying respirators. These respirators are used extensively to prevent workplace fatalities. In turn, this is expected to drive the market over the next few years.

The region's industrial growth will be boosted by increased investments in construction and the oil and gas industry. The region's manufacturing sector will be driven by rising investments in aviation component production, textile machinery and fabricated metal products. The region's market growth is expected to be driven by stringent regulations and increasing concern about occupational injury, respiratory hazards, and other risks.
