Mechanical Explosion Proof Equipment Market

Global Mechanical Explosion Proof Equipment Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global mechanical explosion proof equipment market is expected at USD 8.30 billion in 2024, so it is estimated to reach USD 11.06 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.

The equipment is preferred in businesses where flammable gases are emitted into the environment due to numerous activities, such as mining, nuclear power, defence, and chemical processing. These devices are essential for managing and preventing volatile gas explosions. The mechanical explosion proof equipment market is being driven by increased industrial safety procedures and rising energy demands. Electrical and other equipment in industries such as petrochemical and mining are required to work in dangerous conditions that lead to explosions or fires. The majority of fireproofing and explosion-proof technology is designed to protect applications or equipment from external fires. Furthermore, stringent regulations for the safety of workers in hazardous situations and mandates for the use of explosion and fireproof equipment are driving the expansion of the mechanical explosion proof equipment market.

MARKET DRIVERS

Globally, rising demand for integrated systems, advancements in the automation industry, increase in industrial sectors, and strict government regulations in dealing with hazardous regions are expected to fuel global mechanical explosion proof equipment market growth.

In addition, the demand for energy and fuel grows in tandem with the increase in energy consumption. Hazardous locations are those that pose a risk of fire or explosion hazards due to the presence of flammable gases, flammable liquid–produced vapors, combustible liquid–produced vapors, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers/flying particles in sufficient quantities to produce explosive mixtures that may ignite when exposed to extreme temperature and pressure conditions. In such instances, it is critical to deploy specialized, safe-to-use equipment to limit the risk of an explosion.

Even a small spark might start such a deadly chain reaction. Explosion-proof devices are used in high-capital-and-machine-intensive industries such as aerospace, manufacturing, and defense. As a result, the cost of the necessary safety equipment in these businesses is similarly considerable. Low-voltage explosion-proof motors are widely utilized in the industry, with many tiers two and tier 3 manufacturers producing standard single-phase and three-phase explosion-resistant AC and DC motors. Low-voltage motors are being used in the oil and gas industry in pumps, compressors, and blowers. The rise of both onshore (shale extraction) and offshore (FPSO and offshore production units) activities in the oil industry are predicted to drive the growth of the mechanical explosion proof equipment market.

The increased use of integrated systems in manufacturing facilities and an increase in safety concerns as a result of the rising frequency of various accidents in various hazardous environment industries is the primary driving factor in the mechanical explosion proof equipment market. In addition, the growing digitalization and automation of business processes are predicted to be a boon. The construction industry has risen at a fair rate in recent years. The trend is projected to continue in the following years, resulting in a considerable quantity of space available for industrial and commercial buildings. Various governments throughout the world are establishing programs to assist the construction industry. The rise of commercial building development is predicted to provide lucrative opportunities for the sector to thrive in the region, which will positively impact the mechanical explosion proof equipment market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Explosion-proof equipment is used in industries that require a lot of money and machines, such as aerospace, manufacturing, and defense. As a result, the cost of needed safety equipment in these businesses is similarly expensive. Therefore, high equipment cost is the major restraint in the mechanical explosion proof equipment market.
