The global explosion proof mobile communication devices market size reached USD 517.6 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 914.4 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.53% during 2025-2033. The market growth is principally driven by the intensifying safety standards in hazardous sectors such as chemicals, oil and gas, and mining. Moreover, magnifying demand for safe communication services in high-risk environments is further bolstering market expansion, improving both worker safety and operational efficacy.
Explosion proof mobile communication devices refer to wireless, high-end rugged electronic gadgets that are manufactured from the combination of fire-resistant and polymer matrix composites (PMR) and glass-reinforced polyester (GRP). They mainly encompass smartphones, tablets, handheld computers, cellphones, radio transceivers, notebooks, headsets, and other portable devices as standard computing systems. These devices can withstand and work efficiently in an environment comprising hazardous dust particles, vapors, gasses, and liquids. Apart from this, they help make on-site operations more productive, enable inspection in hard-to-reach areas, reduce exposure to volatile compounds, and offer optimal safety in elevated walkways or confined spaces. Based on these properties, explosion proof mobile communication devices are used to monitor industrial areas and transmit data, images, and voice during integrated operations.
The widespread adoption of explosion proof communication devices across the military and defense, mining, processing, manufacturing, and oil and gas industries are primarily driving the market growth. In line with this, the increasing need for wireless electromagnetic communication mediums for better connectivity and data transmissions under hazardous working conditions is supplementing the product demand across onshore and offshore facilities. Additionally, the rising instances of explosions in the extreme industrial environment due to the presence of chemicals, paints, and other combustibles have prompted governments to implement several safety regulations for workers. This, in turn, is encouraging the uptake of explosion proof mobile communication devices in remote and other integrated operations, thus acting as another growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled tablets, smartphones, and wearable devices with personal digital assistants (PDAs) and advanced connectivity features, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and long-term evolution (LTE) solutions, is propelling the market growth. Apart from this, rapid industrialization and ongoing mergers and acquisitions (M&A) amongst key players are positively augmenting market growth.
