Explosion-Proof Equipment Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increase in Use of Explosion-Proof LED Lights

During the initial stages of LED lights, the LED solutions were expensive. Over the years, manufacturers have developed innovative and cost-effective technologies in order to lower the price of LED solutions. Increasing awareness of energy efficiency among end users and growing government regulations restricting certain energy sources are resulting in additional demand for energy-efficient products. Further, the market is going through a transition from traditional lighting technology systems to connected lighting systems based on user requirements. The shift in the market toward innovative technologies is supporting the LED market growth.

Companies in the market are engaged in launching explosion-proof LEDs. For instance, in January 2023, ARCHON Industries Inc. revealed its new explosion-proof light: EX20-100. The company indicated that the EX20-100 luminaire is designed to continuously illuminate process vessels, tanks, distillation columns, and other industrial items in hazardous and nonhazardous areas. Built with a high-power CREE COB LED and a proven LED driver for ultimate reliability, EX20-100 provides high-grade optics for exceptional performance.

As easy availability and energy efficiency are the key benefits of explosion-proof LED lighting, its demand is increasing in the market. These lighting systems have simpler maintenance requirements than fluorescent and other conventional lighting solutions. The increase in awareness of energy efficiency among end users and stringent regulations imposed by governments to favor certain energy sources propel the demand for energy-efficient products. The demand for lighting systems is rapidly evolving from traditional lighting technology to connected lighting systems with the surging popularity of handheld lighting. Thus, the increasing use of explosion-proof LED lights is driving the explosion-proof equipment market growth globally.

Rise in Product Launches and Strategic Initiatives

The rise in the number of product launches and strategic initiatives can provide several opportunities for the explosion-proof equipment market. New products often incorporate the latest technology, improving safety and efficiency. This can attract new customers and encourage existing ones to upgrade their equipment. Additionally, new strategic initiatives will help the company expand its product portfolio and geographical footprint.

Various companies in the market are engaged in launching new products and strategic initiatives.

• In March 2024, Axis Communications launched the world's first explosion-protected thermometric camera specifically designed and certified for use in Zone and Division 2 hazardous locations. The new camera enables remote temperature monitoring to optimize operational efficiency, with a detection range that can extend into Zone and Division 1 hazardous locations.
• In June 2024, Fuji Electric launched the EXV1000-7W 10 HP explosion-proof blower. The model is a direct drive single-stage blower with a motor defined as explosion proof: T4(T3C): Class 1, Div.1, Group C, D, with a UL certificate, and equipped with a motor suitable for explosion-proof requirements. It provides the same high quality, reliability, and durability as Fuji Electric's standard products and is similar in design to its standard 10 HP blower.

Thus, the rise in product launches and strategic initiatives is anticipated to fuel the explosion-proof equipment market growth in the coming years.

Explosion-Proof Equipment Market Report Segmentation Analysis

Explosion-Proof Equipment Market Share Analysis by Geography

• The explosion-proof equipment market is segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South & Central America. North America dominated the market in 2023, followed by Europe and APAC.
• The North America explosion-proof equipment market is growing significantly due to the rising number of oil and gas projects. For instance, according to the US Energy Information Administration, crude oil production in the US, including condensate, averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, breaking the previous US and global record of 12.3 million b/d, set in 2019. Average monthly US crude oil production established a monthly record high in December 2023 at more than 13.3 million b/d. The crude oil production record in the US in 2023 is unlikely to be broken in any other country in the near term because no other country has reached a production capacity of 13.0 million b/d. This can demand more crude oil plants in the country. Thus, with the increase in oil and gas projects in the US, the industry needs to employ a greater number of workers and operators in the factories. This is increasing the need for explosion-proof equipment in these hazardous areas.
