Global welding safety market for head, eye, and face protection
The global welding safety market for head, eye, and face protection was valued at around $89 million and is expected to grow more than 5% by 2020. The use of head, eye, and face protection products protect the workers from prolonged exposure to UV radiation. These radiations burn exposed skin and cause second- and third-degree skin burns or skin cancer and the use of helmets, face shields, and protective glasses and goggles help prevent eye injury and skin burns. Some tasks require additional eye protection over safety glasses like in the welding process produces high-velocity particles, a full-face shield is required and in oxy-fuel welding and cutting the welders need to wear welding goggles with a minimum shade number of five. The manufacturers are introducing lightweight helmets with a higher angle of view and heat-resistant helmets that help welders operate during high temperature while welding.
“The manufacturers are introducing auto-darkening helmets with constant variable controls and these controls allow the user to adjust the shade from light to dark and the other way around. The helmet uses the quick-changing LCD technology inside the auto-darkening cartridges, which helps them darken to any pre-selected shade in milliseconds. This technology protects welders from harmful light emissions and eliminates the need to remove the product frequently,” says Abhay Sinha, a lead analyst at Technavio.
Global welding safety market for hand and body protection
The global welding safety market for hand and body protection was valued at almost $63 million and is expected to grow around 5% by 2020. Welder wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants made of polyester or nylon, and welding jackets made of cotton or wool fibers or leather that protect them from burns. Leather welding gloves protect their hands and wrists from burns, cuts, and scratches and insulate them against electric shock. The manufacturers are introducing thick leather welding gloves that are used for shielded metal arc welding and flux cored arc welding. The rising number of new industries especially in emerging countries like India and South Korea will boost the demand for protective clothing and gloves for welders.
Global welding safety market for respiratory protection
The global welding safety market for respiratory protection was valued at about $46 million and is expected to grow around 4% by 2020. Proper respiratory protection gear protects workers from the risk of risk of airway irritation, bronchitis, pulmonary infections, lung function changes, and lung cancer. The increasing workplace regulations on welding safety are prompting employers to provide respiratory protection. Companies are required to provide welders a filter mask or a half-mask respirator for their protection in all industrial sites. The half-mask respirator with P100 filter with charcoal filter is used for welders working in work environments which produces heavy particulate materials.
Global welding safety market for protective footwear
The global welding safety market for protective footwear was valued at around $46 million and is expected to grow more than 4% by 2020. Protective footwear is used to protect welders from hot sparks or falling objects, and these products should comply with the ASTM standard F2413-05. These products are designed especially for the welding process includes a toe cap that protects the foot from falling objects. The manufacturers are launching comfortable footwear that offer quick-drying, breathable lining, polyurethane or nitrile rubber sole unit with a heat-resistance of up to 300°C, and protection from the welding arcs.
The top leading vendors operating in the global welding safety market are:
- 3M
