Fall protection equipment refers the equipment or safety gear designed to prevent or mitigate injuries caused by falls from heights in various workplaces or recreational activities. It includes a wide range of devices and systems designed to arrest falls. Fall protection equipment is essential for ensuring the safety of workers in various industries where there is a risk of falling from heights.
The fall protection equipment market consists of sales, by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships), of fall protection equipment that are utilized by sectors where work is performed at heights, such as construction, telecom, energy and utilities, transportation, mining and marine industries. The usage of fall protection gear is critical, not only during the construction or maintenance phases, but also during emergency situations or while performing routine operations at height.
The global fall protection equipment market was valued at $2,321.16 million in 2018 which grew till 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 5.0%.
Growing Popularity Of Adventure Sports And Recreational Activities
The growing popularity of adventure sports and recreational activities fueled the growth of the fall protection equipment market during this historic period. The surge in participation in activities like rock climbing and zip-lining drives demand for fall protection gear, prompting adventure sports facilities to invest in quality equipment to meet safety standards and enhance customer appeal. Regulatory bodies enforce strict safety regulations on these venues, mandating the use of appropriate fall protection gear to ensure compliance and further stimulating market growth. For instance, according to the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA), a UK-based not-for-profit membership organization representing the outdoor recreation industries, a record 168.1 million people, or 55% of the American population aged six and older, participated in outdoor recreation in 2022, an increase of 2.3%. In 2022, participation increased in 80% of outdoor activity categories, including bigger ones like fishing and camping, as well as smaller ones like skateboarding and sport climbing. Therefore, the growing popularity of adventure sports and recreational activities drove the growth of the fall protection equipment market.
Development Of Fall Prevention Systems With Easy Installation And Compatibility
Companies operating in the fall protection equipment market are focusing on developing fall prevention systems tailored for easy installation on all types of MEWPs (mobile elevating work platform), to address various factors, including compatibility, simplicity, effectiveness and compliance with safety regulations. For instance, in June 2023, Haulotte Group, a France-based aerial work platform manufacturing company, launched the FASTN device, its latest safety innovation, at APEX. The FASTN device, integrated into the basket of MEWPs, prompts operators to connect their harnesses during operation to avoid audio and visual reminders. This 'active anchorage' system is easily installable on all MEWPs, facilitating rapid deployment within rental fleets. Operating akin to a car seat belt, FASTN aims to instill automatic harness connection behavior in operators, addressing the leading cause of MEWP casualties. Additionally, it includes a wake-up function for operator distress detection and an anti-bypass feature to prevent misuse alerts.
The global fall protection equipment market is fairly fragmented, with a large number of players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 14.40% of the total market in 2022.
