Industrial Head Protection Market Report 2024

This Industrial Head Protection market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The industrial head protection market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.2 billion in 2023 to $3.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increased awareness of workplace safety, a rise in industrialization and construction activities, stricter safety regulations, a higher incidence of workplace injuries, and growing government initiatives to promote safety.

The industrial head protection market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.19 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for industrial head protection, increased partnerships and collaborations, the impact of global events on safety, ongoing industrial growth, and shifting consumer preferences. Key trends include technological advancements, the adoption of sustainable materials, customization and personalization of protective gear, innovations in materials, and the integration of communication technologies.

The increasing frequency of workplace injuries is projected to drive the growth of the industrial head protection market. Workplace injuries, which encompass physical harm or damage sustained by employees due to their job responsibilities or work environment, can arise from a variety of causes such as accidents, exposure to hazardous materials, repetitive stress, or poor ergonomics. Factors contributing to the rise in workplace injuries include higher workloads and stress, insufficient training on safety procedures, and poorly designed or unsafe workspaces. Industrial head protection plays a crucial role in enhancing workplace safety by protecting workers from head injuries caused by falling objects, impacts, and electrical hazards, thereby reducing the risk of severe accidents and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. For example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in December 2023 that there were 2.8 million non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2022, a 7.5% increase from the previous year. This rise in workplace injuries is expected to drive demand for industrial head protection solutions.

Leading companies in the industrial head protection market are focusing on innovations such as multi-directional impact protection system (MIPS) technology to improve worker safety and comfort. The MIPS system includes a low-friction layer inside the helmet that mimics the brain's natural protection by allowing slight movement, which helps redirect rotational forces away from the brain. For example, in July 2024, MSA Safety, a U.S.-based public safety company, introduced the V-Gard H2 safety helmet featuring MIPS technology. This helmet is designed to reduce the risk of brain injuries by redirecting rotational forces during angled impacts, which is crucial for preventing traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) resulting from slips, trips, and falls.
