Market Highlights

The global self contained breathing apparatus market is accounted to register a CAGR of 5.00% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 1.70 billion by 2032.

The market for self-contained breathing apparatus is expected to increase rapidly during the projected period, owing to application-specific advances and technical innovationIn addition, rising occupational injuries such as severe abrasions, punctures, chemical and thermal burns are likely to drive demand throughout the forecast period. Furthermore, the rising number of road accidents and injuries has prompted regulatory frameworks to develop standards for respiratory protective equipment, enhancing the application of self-contained breathing apparatus and driving demand for the global self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) market. Various constraints and hurdles will impede overall market expansion. Factors such as a shortage of competent personnel due to insufficient training in safe usage and maintenance restrict market expansion. Furthermore, the market's growth is hampered by limited service life and short duration of air supply. Furthermore, variable standards and norms and severe government regulations are possible limitations weighing on the overall Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Market.

Segment Analysis

The global self contained breathing apparatus market has been segmented based on type and application.

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into open-circuit SCBA and closed-circuit SCBA. The closed-circuit SCBA segment was attributed to holding the largest market share in 2022. Because of their capacity to recycle exhaled air, they are extensively utilized in military and defense applications, allowing for extended usage without the need for regular air cylinder changes.

Based on application, the global self contained breathing apparatus market has been segmented into fire services, oil & gas, mining, chemical /petrochemical, industrial, law enforcement, military, and navy. The oil and gas segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022. Global energy demand has boosted investment in oil and gas exploration and production operations, increasing demand for SCBAs.

Regional Analysis

Based on region, the global self-contained breathing apparatus market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America consists of US and Canada. The Europe Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus market comprises Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and the rest of Europe. The Self Contained Breathing Apparatus market in Asia-Pacific has been segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. The rest of the World's Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus market comprises Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. 

The North American regional sector maintained the largest self contained breathing apparatus market share. According to current trends, SCBAs used by fire departments are inspected at least monthly and must conform with OSHA rules. It is best practice for firemen to inspect their SCBA at the start of each shift. It is also advised that SCBA be cleaned after each usage.

Moreover, the Europe market has been persistently growing over the forecast period. The usage of self-contained breathing equipment (SCBA) with emergency escape is required by authorities such as OSHA and CSA. Furthermore, as the threat presented by Dangerous To Life or Health (IDLH) airborne pollutants grows, market demand is expected to rise further in the coming years.

Additionally, the Asia Pacific region is undergoing rapid expansion in building and infrastructure development, increasing demand for SCBAs for usage in hazardous work situations. The Asia Pacific area is rapidly industrializing, increasing demand for SCBAs in manufacturing, construction, and mining industries. Governments around the Asia Pacific region are launching numerous measures to increase worker safety, fueling demand for SCBAs.

Furthermore, the rest of the world's Self Contained Breathing Apparatus market is divided into the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. The oil and gas sector in the Middle East and Africa will account for a large percentage of the market in 2022 due to ongoing investments in exploration and refining capacity development. According to industry analysts, a fire disaster on an offshore or onshore plant occurs every 2-3 years, resulting in widespread devastation and eventual deaths. The factors above will enhance demand for the SCBA market in this area in the next years.
