Fall Protection Safety Harness Market Report 2025

The fall protection safety harness market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.11 billion in 2024 to $2.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising workplace fatality rates, increasing awareness of occupational safety, the implementation of international safety standards, expansion of industrial construction projects, and the emergence of government safety initiatives.

The fall protection safety harness market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.04 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increased investments in infrastructure modernization, the expansion of renewable energy projects involving elevated work areas, rising demand for high-rise commercial and residential buildings, growth in the telecommunications sector that requires elevated installations, and heightened government spending on public works. Key trends in the forecast period include the integration of smart safety technologies, development of lightweight and ergonomic harness materials, utilization of automation and data analytics in safety inspections, adoption of modular harness systems, and advancements in adjustable fit technology.

The growth of the fall protection safety harness market is expected to be driven by increasing investments in infrastructure development. Infrastructure development involves constructing and upgrading essential physical systems such as buildings, transportation networks, and utilities. Rising investments are primarily driven by the need to modernize aging infrastructure to meet current safety, efficiency, and capacity standards. This surge in infrastructure spending has led to increased construction activities across sectors such as transportation, energy, and commercial buildings, boosting demand for fall protection safety harnesses to ensure worker safety at elevated sites and comply with occupational safety regulations. For example, in July 2024, the UK’s Office for National Statistics reported that total infrastructure investment in 2023 reached £13.8 billion ($17.3 billion) at constant prices, a 3.9% increase from 2022. Thus, growing infrastructure investments are propelling the fall protection safety harness market.

Leading companies in this market are focusing on integrating innovative features such as integrated lanyard management systems to improve worker mobility, reduce trip hazards, and enhance safety during high-risk tasks. These systems securely hold unused lanyards when not in use, preventing tripping and entanglement while allowing greater freedom of movement, especially in confined or elevated spaces. For instance, in November 2024, US-based FallTech launched the FT-1910 harness, which features UltraTech webbing thicker than standard materials and treated for moisture, bacteria, and environmental resistance to improve hygiene and durability. Designed with ergonomics in mind, it includes flexible lateral leg straps and strategically placed lanyard keepers that minimize movement restrictions and trip hazards, providing enhanced safety and comfort for maintenance workers.

In March 2025, Canada-based SureWerx Inc. acquired Reliance Fall Protection LLC to strengthen its fall protection portfolio. This acquisition integrates Reliance’s advanced engineered horizontal lifeline systems and technical expertise, reinforcing SureWerx’s position as a leading provider of safety and productivity solutions. Reliance Fall Protection LLC is a US-based company specializing in fall protection products including harnesses, lanyards, lifelines, and anchor systems.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Fall protection safety harnesses are body-worn devices designed to protect individuals from injury in the event of a fall from height. They consist of straps that securely fasten around the shoulders, chest, waist, and legs, forming part of a complete fall arrest system. The harness distributes the force of a fall across the upper thighs, pelvis, chest, and shoulders to minimize injury.

The main types of fall protection safety harnesses include full-body harnesses, chest harnesses, suspension or rigging harnesses, and others. A full-body harness is a personal protective equipment system engineered to distribute fall arrest forces across the shoulders, thighs, and pelvis, safely securing workers during a fall. These harnesses are made from various materials such as nylon, polyester, Kevlar, and others. They are distributed through multiple channels including online stores and specialty retailers, and are used in industries such as construction, oil and gas, mining, energy and utilities, transportation, and more. The end users span industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
