One of the key factors driving the market growth is the increasing fatalities in the industrial sector globally. There has been a rising number of fatalities cases in the industrial sector over the years. For example, in April 2021, there has been an explosion and fire at a polymer resin plant in a paint plant in Columbus, US, which killed one worker, hospitalized five, and injured four workers with minor injuries.
Furthermore, in April 2022 there has been, there has been a huge fire and reactor blast at a chemical factory in the Andhra Pradesh Eluru district, which killed six and injured 12 people. Thus, such industrial fatalities are fuelling the demand for escape respirators. Thus, it is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the new product launches of escape respirators. There is an increasing focus by several prominent market players on different growth strategies, including new product launches, to widen their landscapes and gain large market shares. There are several international and local players in the global escape respirator market.
Furthermore, many market players are launching new products as they help companies to strengthen their product offerings and improve diversification in supporting the end-users. For example, in March 2021, Avon Protection launched a CH15 portable escape hood. It is an ultra-thin, single-size portable escape hood that offers a minimum of 15 min of respiratory vision and facial protection against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Volatility in raw material prices is one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. Some of the main materials which the global escape respirator market highly relies on include plastic, steel, and aluminum, among others. Supply of these materials relies on the mining and refining industries.
Moreover, there has been an increase in the prices of raw materials in the manufacturing of escape respirators due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022. Thus the significant disruption in supply chain supply chains of raw materials will negatively impact the market. Hence, such factors are expected to hinder market growth during the forecast period.
