Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Market Growth Analysis

Market Highlights

The Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Market is likely to grow at a decent CAGR of 4.2% to reach a value of US$ 1.5 Billion in 2027.

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, which 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 the 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 to improve the properties of their breathing systems to further increase their effectiveness in the fumigated places particularly. These devices are light in weight, reliable, and easy to use, which also helps them in increasing their market adoption and attracting a wide consumer base.

The 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

By Product Type:

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.
