This market research report identifies 3M, Honeywell, Ergodyne, and The Traffic Safety Store as the leading vendors in the traffic safety products market. A competitive analysis of this report is presented by products (traffic vest and rainwear and others). This report also analyzes the primary growth drivers, trends, and challenges of this market.
Overview of the traffic safety products market in the US
Extensive research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the traffic safety products market in the US will witness steady growth and will post a moderate CAGR of more than 5% over the forecast period. Traffic safety products have a short lifespan, for instance, a traffic cone made of PVC has an average lifespan of just about two to three years. However, these PVC safety cones often do not last more than a year as many are either stolen or destroyed in accidents. Similarly, traffic vests and rainwear have an average lifespan of two years but due to extreme weather conditions and the frequency of use, they last less than 1.5 years. The short repurchase cycle of traffic safety products costs millions to government bodies and increases the risks of traffic causalities in the country. However, this generates a replacement demand for traffic safety products, contributing revenue to the overall market.
One of the upcoming trends impelling this market’s growth prospects is the introduction of technologically advanced safety vests to maximize the safety of the workers on the road. Manufacturers are installing LED lights on high-visibility vests that help increase the visibility of the workers at night. These LED lights are powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and offer over 20 hours of continuous light in regular use. The lights can be recharged using a USB cable and have three settings operated by touch-control – slow flash, quick flash, constant and rapid-flash for the low-battery warning. Furthermore, a group of researchers at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the State University of Virginia have introduced the InZoneAlert vest, which is equipped with radio sensors and GPS tracking and can be worn inside or on the vest. In the future, this technology is expected to reduce worker fatalities on roads drastically.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The traffic safety products market in the US is moderately fragmented owing to the presence of several small and medium-sized vendors. The R&D facilities and investments by the market leaders ensure that product innovation is given priority. Although the top four vendors hold the majority of the market shares, private labels are launching their traffic safety products at a lower price as an inexpensive alternative to branded equipment to use sales volumes to gain market shares. This has prompted several new players to enter the market in the US, but these vendors are limited to producing equipment that requires minimal technical knowledge and expertise.
Key vendors in this market are -
- 3M
- Honeywell
- Ergodyne
- The Traffic Safety Store
Other prominent vendors in the market include Emedco, Fastenal, Global Industrial, Highway Signals, MCR Safety, MSC Industrial Direct, Pexco Davidson Traffic Control Products, RoadSafe Traffic Systems, Roadtech Manufacturing, Safety Cones USA, Safety Smart Gear, SA-SO, STIHL, Tamis, The Cortina Companies, Traffic Safety and Supply Company, and W.

- Traffic vest and rainwear
- Traffic barricade, cone, delineator, and others
During 2015, the traffic vest and rainwear segment dominated the market and accounted for over 65% of the market shares in terms of revenue. High-visibility apparel like traffic vest and rainwear exhibit high reflectivity and visibility against any background. This type of apparel is made of one or a combination of fluorescent or reflective materials and convert invisible UV light into visible light, thereby making the objects stand out even under dimly lit conditions.
