Major trends in the forecast period include IoT integration, automation in hazardous areas, increased adoption of led lighting, customization of solutions, training and certification programs, development of intrinsically safe technologies.

The rising demand for industrial safety is anticipated to drive the growth of the hazardous area equipment market in the future. Industrial safety encompasses a range of safety procedures, guidelines, and regulations designed to protect the environment, workplace, and workers from hazards. It functions as a corrective action that is regularly evaluated and approved by safety experts to ensure a secure workplace and sustainable business operations. Hazardous area equipment is installed in risky locations to prevent explosions and safeguard personnel. Consequently, the increasing implementation of hazardous area equipment for industrial safety will boost demand in this market. For example, in December 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US government agency, reported that fatal work injuries in the United States rose to 5,486 in 2022, representing a 5.7% increase from the 5,190 recorded in 2021. This trend indicates a worrying rise in industrial accidents. Therefore, the growing demand for industrial safety is propelling the hazardous area equipment market.

The escalating occurrence of workplace accidents is expected to enhance the growth of the hazardous area equipment market going forward. An increase in workplace accidents leads to heightened safety awareness, regulatory compliance, risk mitigation efforts, considerations regarding insurance and liability, corporate social responsibility initiatives, emphasis on employee welfare, and the need for efficient emergency response systems. Companies are investing in hazardous area equipment to address these concerns, ensuring a safe work environment, compliance with regulations, and overall protection for employees and operations. For instance, in July 2024, the British Safety Council, a registered charity based in England, reported that the 136 workplace fatalities recorded in 2022/23 represented an increase of 13 compared to the 123 deaths reported in 2021/22. Therefore, the rising incidence of workplace accidents is fueling the growth of the hazardous area equipment market.

Technological advancements have become a significant trend gaining traction in the hazardous area equipment market. Leading companies in this sector are focused on innovating new technologies to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in February 2022, i.safe MOBILE GmbH, a German manufacturer of mobile communication equipment for hazardous environments, introduced the IS-TC1A.1, an explosion-protected thermal imaging camera. This device is intended for predictive maintenance in hazardous settings. Utilizing Seek Thermal technology, the explosion-proof thermal imaging camera IS-TC1A.1 allows industrial users in risky areas to oversee industrial and maintenance processes and identify potential hazards before they escalate. Predictive maintenance aims to reduce energy costs, enhance process reliability, and avoid unplanned equipment downtime.

Key players in the hazardous area equipment market are concentrating on developing product innovations, such as compensated heat detectors, to improve safety and response times. Compensated heat detectors are fire detection devices engineered to adapt to changes in ambient temperature, ensuring precise activation during a fire incident. For instance, in October 2023, E2S Warning Signals, a UK-based manufacturing company, launched the H1 range of rate-compensated heat detectors. These detectors incorporate advanced rate-compensated technology, allowing for faster responses to fire conditions compared to traditional models. Designed for use in Zones 0, 1, 2, 21, and 22, the H1 range features robust enclosures made from marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and glass-reinforced polyester. With an IP66/67 rating for high ingress protection and customizable options like alarm LEDs and addressable modules, the H1 range enhances safety across various industrial applications.

In July 2024, KKR, a US-based private equity firm, acquired Marmic Fire & Safety for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to enhance employee engagement through a broad-based ownership program and accelerate growth by expanding services and market presence in the fire safety sector. Marmic Fire & Safety, also headquartered in the US, specializes in fire protection solutions for hazardous areas.
