Increasing demand for gas masks from first responders is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Firefighters, police officers, and rescues are examples of first responders. They are responsible for rescuing trapped persons in emergency situations, putting out fires, and fast responding to shifting environments in dangerous circumstances. Fire, smoke, and the release of toxic gases and other pollutants into the air are among the dangerous situations that first responders must deal with. This calls for the use of gas masks, which can provide protection against inhaling hazardous gases, vapors, and smoke and clean, purified air. Market vendors are concentrating on providing gas masks that are appropriate for firemen and give improved comfort. Any fire accidents in industrial or commercial settings can result in severe damage to property and lives.
Therefore, it is crucial for first responders to take immediate control of the premises to prevent the fire from spreading. Therefore, gas masks, especially SCBA, are in high demand from first responders. This increase in demand is expected to drive the consumption volume and growth of the global gas masks market growth significantly during the forecast period.
The chemical industry segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The chemical industry is a vital sector that plays a central role in the production of a wide range of chemicals, from basic commodities like industrial chemicals and polymers to specialty and fine chemicals used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and more. It encompasses diverse subsectors, including petrochemicals, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals.

Chemical plants produce a plethora of substances, many of which are dangerous when inhaled. Gas masks are employed by workers in these facilities to shield themselves from toxic fumes or chemical leaks. Workers who handle hazardous materials or respond to chemical spills need gas masks to prevent inhalation of toxic substances. For instance, those cleaning up chemical spills or managing hazardous waste rely on gas masks for protection. Thus, increasing focus on the protection of workers in chemical industries is expected to drive the growth of the market in focus in this segment during the forecast period.

Key end-use industries of gas masks in APAC, including manufacturing, construction, and healthcare, are likely to experience above-global average growth during the forecast period. The manufacturing industry is a key employer worldwide and forms the backbone of any country that aims to become self-sufficient and rely less on imported products. The pharmaceutical and chemical industry is another major end-user industry for gas masks. Professionals in this industry need to handle various chemicals that release toxic fumes and vapors, bloodborne pathogens, and pathogenic bacterial cultures as a part of their studies and research. APAC is the third-largest pharmaceutical market in the world. The Department of Pharmaceuticals in India has launched the Pharma Vision 2020 program, which aims to make the country one of the leading destinations for end-to-end drug discovery and innovation.
In addition, the expansion of the pharmaceutical industry in APAC will have a positive impact on the market in the region, as the rising awareness among employers and employees in this industry will increase the demand for gas masks. The market is expected to grow due to an increase in the manufacturing output of key emerging countries such as India and China and the growth of the pharmaceutical industry in APAC during the forecast period.
Several countries, such as India, South Korea, and Japan, witnessed an increase in the number of COVID-19-infected patients, which increased the sales of gas masks in APAC. The demand for face masks has outpaced their production across the region. However, the lockdown restrictions were relaxed in the second half of 2020, which led to the resumption of operations in different end-user industries, which rebounded the demand for gas masks, thereby helping the regional gas masks to recover. Thus, the growing operations in different end-user industries, like healthcare, mining, oil, and gas, and the growing focus on worker safety will drive the growth of the gas mask market in APAC during the forecast period.
Increasing awareness for gas masks driven by on-site training is notably driving the market growth. The provision of support services and on-site training by manufacturers drives the global gas mask market. In addition to offering services, which include the identification and selection of suitable PPE, vendors in the market also offer on-site training support for wearers. This includes programs on understanding the various features of a product and their use in a specific scenario. The selection of appropriate gas masks depends on the nature and extent of the hazard, limitation of respirators, work requirements, and conditions. The goal of such training programs is to create awareness about various possible hazards at workplaces and reduce risks by educating wearers about the correct use of equipment.
For instance, 3M Inc., a key vendor of gas masks, educates employers on annual respirator training, which includes respiratory hazards, maintenance, and storage; donning and adjustment; uses and limitations; and training documentation. Training and certification programs for employers and employees have increased awareness about the benefits and correct use of various types of gas masks. This has increased the demand and volume of consumption, thereby will contribute to the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The need for regular maintenance is a significant challenge hindering the market growth. Gas masks such as PAPR, SCBA, and other supplied air-purifying respirators include components like valves, cartridges, breathing tubes, blowers, and pumps. These types of gas masks require proper maintenance and additional care to ensure efficient and safe operation. Any damage or tear in the components can be potentially dangerous to the user. After using a gas mask in any extreme environment, it needs to be inspected and maintained properly before the next use. Manufacturers provide guidelines for using and maintaining various types of gas masks. For instance, an air-purifying respirator requires additional care and maintenance as some models require the cartridges to be stored separately in a clean and dry area after use, in addition to checking for cracks, tears, holes, and dirty valves prior to use, avoiding alcohol wipes to clean, and disposing of cartridges within the set time-limit.
However, workers often do not follow these steps due to negligence or lack of awareness about the importance of maintenance. This leads to inefficiency in the performance of gas masks. The maintenance of a gas mask includes regular cleaning and inspections for damage to the facepiece, head straps, and tubes and tightening connections before use. This can pose a major challenge to the growth of the global gas masks market during the forecast period.
