Construction Worker Safety Market

Construction Worker Safety Market Research, 2032

The global construction worker safety market size was valued at $3 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $7.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2023 to 2032.Construction worker safety equipment is specially designed to keep workers safe from all kinds of hazards. These injuries can be minor or fatal at construction sites such as buildings, infrastructure, and industrial construction, as well as other construction utility works.

The construction worker safety market was severely hampered during the lockdown period owing to the outbreak of COVID-19. The residential and commercial construction were most affected. However, the market recovered by the end of 2021.

Market dynamics

The emphasis of workplace safety programs has changed since the implementation of this program from identifying unsafe circumstances to identifying risks for prevention-based programs that prioritize education, training, and recognizing problems before someone is wounded. Workplace safety has become a top issue because businesses understand that taking a proactive approach to injury prevention and treatment demonstrates their dedication to their employee’s well-being. Such dangerous work environment at construction sites creates demand for products in the construction worker safety market.

In the upcoming years, an increase in spending on employee safety is projected to assist develop growth opportunities for major participants in the worldwide workplace safety industry. Moreover, key market players are expanding their business by acquisition strategy. For instance, in April 2021, Norcross Safety Products L.L.C. has been acquired by Honeywell for approximately $ 1.2 billion. The Norcross Company is a manufacturer of personal protective equipment PPE. The acquisition provides the organization with a platform in a globally fragmented market with significant growth potential. With this investment in Norcross, the company is now well positioned to access the highly regulated industrial security industry. Therefore, the market for construction worker safety used in the construction sector is expected to drive the construction worker safety market growth.

Installation of workplace safety systems is essential as a precautionary step to protect workers and equipment in an emergency. The organizational budget is heavily burdened by the significant expenses connected with construction workplace safety components, implementation, installation, and maintenance. The installation and subscription costs of the implemented solutions are high. Large organizations can afford the exorbitant installation costs of these solutions, while small businesses in low-income nations find it difficult to afford them. In addition, finding safety experts with all these skill sets is challenging. But that is starting to change as more companies realize they need to hire experts to avoid expensive mishaps. Such factors restrain the growth of the construction worker safety industry. However, this is starting to change as more companies realize they need to hire experts to reduce staff turnover and costly accidents. To give the current safety experts the necessary skill set, employers are providing training.

The demand for construction worker safety equipment decreased in 2020, owing to low demand from different regions due to the lockdown imposed by the government of many countries. The COVID-19 pandemic shut down the production of construction worker safety equipment for the end-user, mainly owing to prolonged lockdowns in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of the market significantly during the pandemic. The major demand for construction worker safety equipment was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including China, U.S., Germany, Italy, India, and the UK, which was severely affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting demand for construction worker safety equipment. This is expected to lead to the re-initiation of the manufacturing industry at its full-scale capacities, which is likely to help the construction worker safety market to recover.

Moreover, new trends in smart PPE are being introduced by key market players. Bluetooth component enables smart PPE to connect to the internet and other devices, providing real-time worker safety information. Additionally, it assists in gathering information about the movements of the workforce and notifies users of positioning adjustments that can be performed. Such trends are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the construction worker safety market share.

Segmental Overview

The construction worker safety market is segmented on the basis of type, construction type, application, and region. By type, the market is classified into personal protective equipment, fall protection equipment, and safe excess equipment.
