Report Outlook

The global self-contained breathing apparatus market was valued at USD 2.42 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.97% during the forecast period. The growth in the employment of firefighters is likely to lead to the expansion of firefighting services in various regions. This expansion will require additional firefighting equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs), to be purchased, further driving the growth of the market. According to Statista, by 2023, it is anticipated that the global market for firefighting foam would be worth close to USD 868 million. The employment of more firefighters also highlights the importance of workplace safety and the need for safety equipment, including SCBAs, in hazardous work environments. This increased awareness is likely to drive demand for SCBAs in other industries besides firefighting, leading to further growth in the market.

The growing fatal rates in occupational accidents in the Asia Pacific region have led to an increasing demand for workplace safety measures. The use of SCBAs is one such measure, which protects workers from hazardous environments and reduces the risk of accidents. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), Over 2.9 million workers every year pass away from illnesses and accidents at work, and at least 402 million individuals get non-fatal occupational injuries. The increase in non-occupational deaths due to various factors such as natural disasters, fires, and accidents has led to a growing demand for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in various industries and applications. SCBA provides respiratory protection to the wearer in environments where the air is contaminated, insufficient or hazardous.

The self-contained breathing apparatus market report details key market dynamics to help industry players align their business strategies with current and future trends. It examines technological advances and breakthroughs in the industry and their impact on the market presence. Furthermore, a detailed regional analysis of the industry at the local, national, and global levels has been provided.

One of the primary drivers of the self-contained breathing apparatus market growth is the rising awareness about the importance of respiratory protection in non-occupational settings. People are becoming more aware of the hazards of smoke inhalation and other respiratory risks in situations like natural disasters, residential fires, and other emergencies, which has led to increased demand for SCBA devices. Additionally, the growth of the construction and mining industries has led to a surge in demand for SCBA devices, as these industries are inherently hazardous and require respiratory protection for workers. The increasing emphasis on worker safety across various industries is another factor that is fueling the growth of the SCBA market. Workplace accidents and fatalities have become a major concern globally. This has driven the demand for personal protective equipment, including SCBAs, to ensure the safety of workers.
