A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the electrical explosion-proof equipment market growth is the increasing demand for safety in industrial operations. Health, safety, and the environment have become unquestionable necessities in all industries. The industry is taking steps to improve process safety and hopes to improve work efficiency in return. Some of the reasons for the need to focus more on occupational safety are the increase in the younger generation workforce, industrial activities in remote areas, and the high cost of advanced machinery.
With the advent of Industry 4.0 and IoT, the adoption of new machinery in industries has increased. These machineries are effective and efficient but are priced higher than the conventional ones. The need to protect this high-cost machinery is driving the adoption of industrial safety processes in operations. All this is bolstering the demand for electrical explosion-proof equipment, which is expected to accelerate the market growth during the forecast period.
The increasing need for emergency response systems and safety sensors are the major market trends. The need for emergency response systems and safety sensors has become a major trend in the industry. The use of signaling devices that alert the workforce about incoming hazards and help in saving property and human life is on the rise.
Safety sensors can warn operators to stop a machine or equipment in case it undergoes a breakage. In such situations, a warning helps shut down other related operations and prevent the spreading of the hazard. It is expected that during the forecast period, industrial and non-industrial applications will witness the higher implementation of emergency response devices and safety sensors to address asset and incumbent safety.
Fluctuating prices of raw materials are one of the key challenges hindering the electrical explosion-proof equipment market growth. Enclosures, encapsulations, and conduit and cable seals require materials such as iron, aluminum and steel for production. The prices of these raw materials vary throughout the year. These variations can be a result of price wars between raw material suppliers or due to changes in export and import regulations of the supplying nation.
The fluctuation in prices of raw materials is expected to prevail during the forecast period. Manufacturers of electrical explosion-proof equipment rely heavily on raw material suppliers, and due to volatility in prices, they face challenges in terms of manufacturing cost. To overcome this, most manufacturers seek a long-term alliance with raw material suppliers. However, this does not happen in most cases. This is because several small-scale manufacturers are financially incapable of forming such contracts with raw material suppliers. So, the fluctuating raw material prices may hinder the growth of the global electrical explosion-proof equipment market during the forecast period.
