Respiratory Protective Equipment Market Trends
The COVID-19 epidemic has greatly increased the need for respiratory PPE in North America. The presence of big companies, especially in the U.S., also helps the region's business. In January 2021, Honeywell International Inc., a major U.S.-based company, reached a major milestone by sending out more than 225 million PPEs and masks in December 2020. These were sent to different places in the U.S., such as healthcare facilities, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and FEMA.
There is an increasing need for respiratory protection gear, however there are still problems. High pricing and user discomfort are two big problems. Many healthcare personnel like powered respiratory protection devices, but they can be hard to use since they are heavy and have a corrugated breathing tube connection that makes it hard for users to move around. Also, the facepieces in air-purifying respirators can change the way sound sounds, making it hard to talk in important places.
Respiratory Protective Equipment Market Analysis
The respiratory protection equipment sector divides its products into three main groupssupplied air respirators (SAR), air purifying respirators (APR), and others. The APR part is split into two groupspowered and unpowered. By 2032, powered APRs might bring in $5 billion in sales, according to forecasts. The fact that more healthcare workers are using these goods during the epidemic has greatly raised this segment's income.
Powered APRs protect better than N95 FFRs and reusable elastomeric half-face piece respirators. The demand for powered APR masks is likely to go up as more dangerous virus strains, like the XBB.1.5 variety, spread. The CDC says that the XBB.1.5 form spreads more easily, which makes the requirement for good respiratory protection even more important.
The military and aviation part of the respiratory protection equipment market is predicted to make more than $1 billion by 2032 because more people want protective masks. During battles, the military employs improved respiratory protection to keep people safe from harmful pollutants.
The U.S. Department of Defense says that the military's budget for protective gear has gone up by 5% every year for the past five years. RPEs are very important for keeping passengers safe during emergencies in the aviation industry. The Federal Aviation Administration says that air travel will go up by 15% in 2023, which means that RPEs will be needed more. As hostilities between countries escalate, the military is likewise expected to need more respiratory protection gear.
In 2023, the North American market for respiratory protection equipment was worth more than USD 3.02 billion. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said that employment in the construction industry grew by 2.4% in 2023. This shows that there is a growing need for safety gear. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also said that more workers were getting respiratory infections, which made the demand for RPEs even greater. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has made the rules harsher, which could help the market flourish. The North American market is expected to rise steadily, thanks to new technologies and a greater awareness of safety.

Respiratory Protective Equipment Industry News
- December 2023, MSA Safety secured a $35 million contract with the U.S. Air Force to supply advanced respiratory protective equipment for air base fire brigades. The contract includes the delivery of MSA's G1 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) model, along with facepieces, chemical warfare component (CWC) masks, and supplied-air respirator (SAR) kits. These SAR kits enable the SCBA to function as a longer-duration airline device. The new equipment will replace older MSA air masks and will be used by U.S. Air Force fire brigades at air bases worldwide. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the Air Force operates over 60 air bases globally, highlighting the extensive reach of this contract
