The NFPA's Standard 70E guides safe work practices to reduce exposure to electrical hazards and avoid workplace injuries. The standard also includes details on practices and maintenance requirements for worker safety and equipment, as well as information on risk identification, PPE selection, and employee training. The European EN 61482 standard provides methods to test materials and garments used in heat- and flame-resistant clothing for workers exposed to electrical arc flashes and blasts. In 2021, the NFPA 70E standard is expected to be updated with new requirements, such as unacceptable personnel protection for over five mA trip current and testing standards to determine arc ratings for footwear.
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Market Driver
The increasing power demand is notably driving market growth. A growing population coupled with rapid urbanization and industrialization is responsible for the increasing consumption of power. Power is significantly consumed in the residential and commercial sectors. The increase in demand for power will lead to a rise in power generation. There will be over a 45% increase in energy consumption between 2016 and 2040, thereby putting greater pressure on power grids globally. The growth in power infrastructure to cater to the increase in demand for electricity will fuel the demand during the forecast period.
The increasing power demand is driving the need for use in industries that expose their employees to various electrical hazards. Workers who work around energized lines or electrical equipment are exposed to risks such as arc flashes and blasts. Arc flashes are a common hazard in power plants. Therefore, electrical protective clothing should be used in power plants in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and OSHA regulations.
Market Trends
The growing women workforce is the major trend in the market. There is an increase in the women's workforce on a global scale. Across various industries such as manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and mining, the number of women being employed is increasing. With the increase in the women's workforce in industrial segments, there has been a rise in demand for PPE for the concerned gender. Companies are focusing on providing that is ergonomically right for women. Globally, the number of women employed in industrial production is increasing. This will result in an increased demand to protect the women's workforce from electrical hazards. There has been an increase in the women's workforce among firefighters. A rising number of women are opting for the profession. Globally, women are encouraging and supporting the growth in the workforce. Firefighters are among the key users. Therefore, the growing women workforce is a key growth driver for the market during the forecast period.
Major Challenge
The need to determine the life expectancy of arc-rated protective clothing is the major challenge impeding market growth. Employers and employees need to consider the life expectancy of arc-rated clothing. This is because it is imperative to ensure that the equipment can withstand the arc flash intensity against which it is rated for the useful life of the garment. If the equipment is improperly cared for, laundered, or worn out, it will fail to provide protection at a much lower energy level, resulting in serious injuries.
Determining the life expectancy can be challenging. Since there is no definitive answer, the response will depend on the manufacturer, which will vary from one another. One method of determining the life span is to track how old the equipment is. Each arc-resistant fabric has a different lifespan. The problem with using periods is that an occasionally used suit will outlay the daily wear of arc-resistant clothing. The procedure of the inspection, varying from one user to another, will pose a challenge to the demand for arc-rated clothing during the forecast period.
