As technological advancements help enhance safety and improve productivity, smart safety helmets will continue to remain key trends in a host of industries.
Labor-intensive industries mandate the incorporation of proper workforce safety measures to mitigate the level of risks; if ignored, it can lead to various hazardous situations that can impact the overall project timeline and operational efficiency. Therefore, safety measures are highly emphasized to avoid any unwanted challenges related to workforce health and safety.
Growing urbanization and rising population promote the construction industry growth, which subsequently delivers a positive impact on the safety helmet market. The increasing advancements in the oil & gas sector for fueling oil production and mining excavations and the rising number of wind farms for power generation also drive the safety helmet market expansion.
The acceptance of safety helmets has intensified over the years as a basic necessity for protecting the workforce. The industries that demand workers to operate in heights or high-risk environments are propelling the demand for safety helmets globally. Likewise, the mining and telecommunication industries invest a substantial amount in safety measures, which, in turn, accelerate the need for safety helmets. The growing government initiatives and the integration of stern regulations to incorporate high standards of workforce safety measures are other major growth drivers of the safety helmet market at the global level. The safety helmet market outlook continues to be positive as these helmets are well-positioned to serve the safety requirements of end-user industries such as construction, manufacturing, oil & gas, utilities, telecommunication, and mining.
As the construction industry expands and evolves, the requirement for safe operation becomes crucial. There is an increase in various types of infrastructural development projects, such as commercial complexes, residential buildings, and industrial facilities. Each project needs a workforce for construction, repair, maintenance, and renovation. Rapid urbanization and population outburst drive the requirement for new housing, commercial spaces, and infrastructure. For instance, Saudi Arabia is anticipated to become one of the largest construction sites in the world, with approximately ~US$ 1.1 trillion of investment in infrastructure and real estate projects. These infrastructure and real estate development projects include King Salman Park, Neom Super City, Diriyah Gate, The Red Sea Projects, and Jeddah Central and Jeddah Economic City Projects.
As cities develop, the construction of high-rise buildings and large-scale projects demands safety measures for safe and efficient construction. Unique projects with challenging architectural designs or specific requirements require custom-designed safety measures. For instance, in March 2023, the Canadian Kelowna City Council stated authorization for funding US$ 90 million for the expansion project of the Kelowna Airport terminal. Also, in 2022, the Government of India started its projects to build 220 airports by the end of 2025. The growing infrastructure development and real estate progress, including commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects, drive the demand for safety tools, including helmets, during construction and maintenance activities.
The growing instances of occupational accidents are one of the prime factors that hinder the smooth operation of any construction project. The proper workforce management and growing adoption of standard safety measures to prevent workplace mishaps are anticipated to favor the safety helmet market globally. Governments of several nations are focusing highly on workforce safety regulations to avoid accidents. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 mentioned proper working standards and conditions to ensure workforce safety. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, also describes the measures to prevent work-related injury, ill health, and death. In India, workplace safety is primarily managed by the Factories Act (1948) and the Mines Act (1952). Furthermore, numerous other laws, policies, regulations, and guidelines are related to specialized industries and sectors. Thus, the growing government initiatives and the introduction of strict regulations to protect workforce safety measurements are anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the safety helmet market during the forecast period.
