The industrial fall protection equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.06 billion in 2024 to $4.36 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the increased use of fall protection equipment, growing safety concerns for workers, a rise in workers' compensation claims, expansion in industrialization, and a surge in mining activities.

The industrial fall protection equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as stricter workplace safety regulations, growth in construction and infrastructure activities, rising awareness of occupational safety, increasing demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), and government initiatives and regulations focused on workplace safety. Key trends during this period include technological advancements, automation in manufacturing, product innovations, improved real-time situational awareness, and a shift towards tech-driven safety solutions.

The increase in occupational accidents and injuries is expected to drive the growth of the industrial fall protection equipment market in the coming years. Occupational accidents and injuries refer to incidents that occur at the workplace, causing physical harm, illness, or fatalities to employees while they perform their job tasks. The rise in such accidents and injuries can be attributed to factors like increased work intensity, inadequate safety measures, insufficient training, and greater exposure to hazardous environments. Industrial fall protection equipment plays a vital role in reducing occupational injuries by providing safety measures that prevent falls and reduce the risk of serious injury in high-risk work environments. For example, in December 2024, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a US government agency, reported that in 2022, there were 5,486 fatal work injuries in the United States, marking a 5.7% increase compared to 5,190 fatalities in 2021. The rise in occupational accidents and injuries is fueling the demand for industrial fall protection equipment.

Leading companies in the industrial fall protection equipment market are focusing on creating innovative products such as full-body safety harnesses to enhance worker safety, improve comfort, and meet strict regulatory standards. A full-body safety harness is personal protective equipment (PPE) that secures the wearer and distributes fall forces across the body. It typically includes adjustable straps, buckles, and a dorsal D-ring for fall protection and is commonly used in high-risk industries like construction and oil and gas. For example, in December 2024, FallTech, a US-based construction engineering company, introduced the FT-1910 safety harness, designed to offer enhanced durability, comfort, and mobility for maintenance professionals. This safety harness ensures reliable fall protection across various industries and complies with safety standards, making it an ideal solution for workers who need comprehensive fall protection.

In July 2024, SureWerx, a US-based safety equipment company, acquired Fall Safe On Line Lda for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, SureWerx aims to strengthen its global safety portfolio and accelerate its growth in the fall protection market by incorporating Fall Safe’s innovative products and expertise. Fall Safe On Line Lda, a Portugal-based manufacturing company, specializes in designing, manufacturing, and distributing high-quality professional fall protection equipment, including harnesses, belts, lanyards, and installed systems.
