A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a wearable device that enables the provision of breathable air in environments with low oxygen levels, dangerous gases, smoke, and other airborne contaminants, that are unsafe for breathing. It generally comprises of a facemask with a tube, which connects to the air source (such as a tank of compressed oxygen) worn by the user. These systems are mainly worn by workers who engage in handling hazardous materials or are operating in contaminated and oxygen-deficient zones. Various industries, such as firefighting, mining, and chemicals, make use of SCBA. The SCBA manufacturers are increasingly putting their efforts into improving the properties of their breathing systems to further increase their effectiveness in fumigated places particularly. These devices are light in weight, reliable, and easy to use, which also helps them in increasing their market adoption and attract a wide consumer base.

COVID-19 proved to be devastating for several markets; however, the impact of the pandemic on the demand for SCBA was almost negligible, especially in the firefighting applications, the segment holding the lion’s share of the market. Growing demand for firefighters, rising investments in surface and underground mining activities, and increasing chemical production are expected to increase the sales of SCBA in the coming years.

Segments Analysis

Product Insights

"The open-circuit SCBA segment accounted for the largest market share."

The SCBA market is segmented as closed-circuit SCBA and open-circuit SCBA. Both product types are expected to grow at a similar rate during the forecast period, owing to the growing demand for SCBA by several industries such as mining, chemicals, and firefighting. Open-circuit SCBA has widespread use and dominates the market, whereas closed-circuit SCBA is predominantly used when the concentration of fatal gases is too high.
