Electrical Safety Products Market: Overview
- According to Transparency Market Research’s latest research report on the global electrical safety products market for the historical period 2018–2019 and the forecast period 2024–2030, rising concerns regarding employee safety across various end-use industries and development of the power utility sector are factors expected to boost the global electrical safety products market during the forecast period
- In terms of revenue, the global electrical safety products market is estimated to exceed value of US$ 7.4 Bn by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of ~7% during the forecast period
Usage of Electrical Safety Products in Various End-use Sectors: A Key Driver
- As per the ESFI (Electrical Safety Foundation International) analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data, 160 fatal work-related electrical injuries occurred in 2018, which is approximately an 18% rise from the year 2017. Although nonfatal work-related electrical injuries had fallen from over 25% during the same period, industries with the leading number of these injury cases included construction, manufacturing, leisure & hospitality, education, and health services.
- In addition as per CPWR (The Center for Construction Research and Training), more than 70% of the 203 electrocutions that occurred in the construction industry from 2011 to 2013 involved workers who were not electricians. Among all fatal work-related electrical injuries recorded by BLS from 2003 to 2018, 54% occurred in the construction industry, the analysis conducted by ESFI shows.
- These concerns across the industry have resulted in increased demand for electrical safety products, not only for electrical professionals, but for majority of the workers, particularly in construction and manufacturing industries
- In addition, associations and regulators of electrical safety products and labor bureaus have been initiating several programs to raise awareness regarding electrical safety. For instance, in April 2019, ESFI introduced a collection of videos, info graphics, and other resources designed to help workers in nonelectrical jobs stay safe around electrical hazards.
- Moreover, in November 2019, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) issued a safety alert. It outlined numerous best practices for electrical incident prevention, due to three fatalities involving electricity earlier in August 2019.
