A powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) is a type of respirator that uses a battery-powered blower to force air through filters or cartridges into the breathing zone of the wearer. This process provides a continuous supply of clean air and can protect against gases, vapors and particles when equipped with the appropriate filters. PAPRs are available in various configurations and they are often used in environments where the air is contaminated.
The powered air-purifying respirator market consists of sales, by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships), of powered air-purifying respirators that refer to advanced respiratory protection devices used in environments where there are airborne contaminants that pose a risk to health.
The global powered air-purifying respirator market was valued at $1,698.69 million in 2018 which grew till 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 7.0%.
Increase In Toxic Gas Related Health Hazards
During the historic period, increasing toxic gas release in the air causing severe health hazards drove the demand for powered air-purifying respirators. Air toxics cause a broad range of health effects depending on the specific pollutant, the amount of exposure and how people are exposed. People who inhale high levels of certain air toxics may experience eye, nose and throat irritation and difficulty breathing. Long term exposure to certain air toxics can cause cancer and long-term damage to the immune, neurological, reproductive and respiratory systems. According to a study from the British Lung Foundation (BLF) (a British charity that promotes lung health and supports those affected by lung disease) and Asthma UK (a UK-based asthma awareness foundation) published in February 2021, nearly 6 million people aged over 65 in England were at high risk of lung damage and asthma attacks because of toxic air. Therefore, the rise in toxic air increased the demand for powered air-purifying respirators driving the market growth.
Use Of Air Compression Technology For Enhanced Efficiency
Companies in the powered air-purifying respirator market are adopting new technologies such as air compression technology to increase efficiencies and performance of PAPRs. The main benefits of air compression technology in powered air-purifying respirators is to enhance the user experience and reduce the energy consumption of the PAPRs by automatically adjusting the air flow according to the user's breathing pattern. For example, in December 2022, Dyson, a Singapore-based household appliances company, launched Dyson Zone, air-purifying headphones delivering pure air and audio. Utilizing air compression technology, Dyson Zone draws in fresh air near the ear cups, directs it through carbon mesh filters and then pumps it to the visor. The device combines an adjustable visor to filter out air contaminants with a set of noise-cancelling headphones.
The global powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) market is fairly fragmented, with a large number of players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 15.74% of the total market in 2022.
