Hazmat Suits Global Market Report 2024

The global hazmat suits market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.93 billion in 2023 to $9.58 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. Historical growth can be credited to the establishment and adherence to industrial safety standards, the rise in healthcare emergencies, regulations within the chemical industry, training in emergency response protocols, and the implementation of enhanced laboratory safety measures.

The global hazmat suits market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.26 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by awareness and preparedness campaigns, comprehensive training and education programs, investments in military and defense, government initiatives, and the prioritization of public health concerns. Key trends expected during this period encompass advancements in healthcare, considerations of environmental hazards, responses to chemical and biological threats, preparedness for emergency response, and ongoing technological advancements.

The proliferation of nuclear power plants is poised to drive growth in the hazmat suits market. These plants, converting atomic energy into usable electricity, are on the rise due to nuclear power's appeal as an alternative to carbon-based fuels, the enhancement of existing plants, increased generation capacity, and other factors. Nuclear engineers working with radioactive materials and constructing nuclear devices like reactor cores necessitate hazmat suits to safeguard workers' health and ensure a secure working environment. According to the International Energy Agency's 'Stated Policies Scenario' in 2021 (WEO 2021 edition), installed nuclear capacity is projected to reach 525 GWe by 2050, with around 55 reactors under construction as of September 2022. Consequently, the upsurge in nuclear power plants will propel the hazmat suits market in the foreseeable future.

The upswing in global trade is anticipated to fuel the hazmat suit market's growth trajectory. The escalation in global trade involves the movement of hazardous materials across borders, making hazmat suits indispensable for workers engaged in transporting, handling, and disposing of these materials. This ensures their safety and compliance with international regulations. According to a report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in September 2023, maritime trade is projected to surge by 2.4% in 2023, with a further increase of over 2% expected from 2024 to 2028. As pandemic restrictions eased, the energy sector observed a 6.0% increase in oil trade and a 4.6% increase in gas trade in 2022. Thus, the surge in global trade drives the hazmat suit market's expansion.

Major players in the hazmat suit market are innovating with advanced technologies like wearable tech to cater to broader customer bases, elevate sales, and boost revenue. Wearable tech, exemplified by MBO Group's launch of a wearable air-conditioning system for hazmat-suited COVID-19 workers in July 2022, presents a distinct feature including a lightweight device weighing approximately 3 kilograms. The system includes a cooling vest and air conditioning, regulating temperatures between 16 to 25 degrees Celsius, with a 3-hour operation on a full charge. The company targets outdoor workers like COVID-19 control staff, traffic police, and maintenance electricians, with plans for mass production, aiming to produce 200,000 units.

Significant companies within the hazmat suit market are developing innovative products like breathing apparatuses to expand customer bases, augment sales, and enhance revenue streams. For instance, in August 2022, Dräger unveiled the Dräger BG ProAir, a closed-circuit breathing apparatus designed to protect firefighters during prolonged missions in challenging environments like tall buildings, complex structures, basements, and tunnels. This apparatus employs positive pressure breathing, preventing toxic substances from entering the breathing system. Its innovative design optimizes both inhalation and exhalation processes, cooling and enriching inhaled air with oxygen while efficiently absorbing CO2 during exhalation. The device's ergonomic design and weight distribution ensure improved comfort, vital during extended missions.
