Executive Summary
According to a new report, titled, 'Flame Retardant Protective Wear Market,' The flame retardant protective wear market was valued at $3.5 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $6.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2023 to 2032. Flame retardant protective wear refers to the garments such as coveralls, bomber-jackers, high-visibility jackets, and others that offers protection to the wearers from hazards such as shock or fire. Demand for flame retardant protective wear is majorly attributed to rising safety concerns among workers and increasing regulations laid down by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). According to OSHA, the workers working in the electrical, manufacturing, and oil & gas sector must use flame retardant protective wear to ensure their safety.The fire retardant protective wear market share is increasing rapidly as this protective wear can self-extinguish, and offers enhanced insulation against fire, flames thereby preventing severe injuries and burns. The flame retardant protective wear garments can be reused and laundered with proper measures. For instance, the flame retardant protective wear by International Enviroguard has an attached hood and offers protection against wide range of chemicals. It has elastic wrists, elastic in back to prevent rips & tears, resistance against vertical flames, and elastic ankles. In the oil & gas sector, the workers must be protected against flash fire during drilling and refining operations for which flame retardant protective wear is used. All these are the major factors projected to drive the market revenue growth during the forecast period.
The flame retardant protective wear is not entirely fireproof. Hence, the workers wearing these garments must avoid wearing synthetic garments under fire resistant clothing. For instance, t-shirts and other clothing made from synthetic materials can cause hazard if they melt onto the skin. This is a key factor anticipated to hamper the flame retardant protective wear market size in the upcoming years.
Rising use of flame retardant protective wear in electric, construction, mining, and other industries to generate excellent growth opportunities in the market. For instance, the workers working in firefighting sector must be protected against explosion from severe burns & flames. To ensure utmost protection, gloves, facial protection, and helmets are used. In the electric sector, flame retardant protective wear is used as these are self-extinguishing products that reduce the likelihood of severe burns. In the mining sector, this clothing reduces the risk of combustion. The workers working in the industrial & metal processing sector use PPE to protect themselves from potential injuries. Also, in sectors such as plastics, wood processing, fertilizers, and others, these protective clothing is used to safeguard the life of workers. The flame retardant protective wear clothing can withstand high temperatures when they come in contact with heat and fire. These protective wear clothing offers protection to the body in any hazardous conditions and prevent the penetration of sparks as well as molten splash. For instance, the flame retardant protective wear offered by DuPont offers superior protection against fire and flash hazards. This protective wear made from Nomex fabric are certified fabrics that are engineered to offer protection against electric arc furnace. Welders, machine operators, fabricators, mechanics, and sheet metal workers widely use flame retardant protective wear for safety and protection against fire accidents. These factors are anticipated to boost the flame retardant protective wear market expansion during the forecast period.
