According to the market research analysts at Technavio, the global protective communication equipment market will witness impressive growth at a CAGR of close to 8% over the forecast period. The increasing demand for protective communication equipment with in-built entertainment solutions is one of the primary factors driving this market’s growth. An increasing number of wearers in the industrial end-use segment and individual consumers prefer products that offer on-the-go entertainment. Moreover, products with entertainment solutions also improve wearer compliance since wearers do not have to switch between conventional music players and hearing protection products. Several vendors like Silenta offer a range of products with entertainment options. This product includes an FM radio receiver that allows users to listen to radio stations seamlessly. Such products will lead to the augmented adoption of protective communication equipment over the next four years.
