The probability of the presence of explosives substance being present at any specific location of an industry is defined by classifying the area. The equipment is produced, designed, and installed as per the laws, regulations, and standards of the legislatures. The EU formulates the manufacturing of equipment as per the zone system— Zone 0, Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 20, Zone 21, and Zone 22 classify the hazardous areas in which the presence of flammable substances is very high, high, or moderately high. Furthermore, the National Electric Code (NEC) is the standard followed by North America, comprising class, division, and group system. The presence of three categories of flammable substance are defined as “class” category, whereas “divisions” specify the likelihood of explosive materials in the hazardous environments. The classes and divisions are further grouped into seven wherein classes are defined by ranking the flammable and critical nature related to other substances.
ABB Group, Rockwell Automation Inc., R. Stahl AG, Bartec Group, Adalet, Siemens AG, Intertek Group Plc, Pepperl + Fuchs GmbH, and Cooper Industries (Eaton), are some of the key market players that operate in the global explosion proof equipment market.
Other players in the value chain include BCom Solutions, Inc., Honeywell International Inc., CamLogic Snc, Johnson Controls, Excalibur Miretti Group, Shomal Co., Bosch Rexroth AG, Shenzhen KHJ Semiconductor Lighting Co., Ltd., Shanghai Explosion-proof Motor Co., Ltd., and Parker Hannifin Corporation.
Top Investment Pockets of Global Explosion Proof Equipment Market
The following graph exhibits the growth potential of various industry verticals equipped with explosion proof equipment. These include oil & gas, marine, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, mining, and food processing, among others. As illustrated in the graph, the market is predominantly driven by oil & gas industry, which had the maximum share in 2014–2015. However, manufacturing industry is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period.
Report Overview
Oil & Gas Industry generated the highest revenue in 2015 due to wide adoption of explosion-protected products in this sector as a preventive measure against explosive areas. The adoption of spark-resistant enclosures, thermocouples, and sensors in hazardous areas of oil & gas industry eliminate the release of potential toxic and flammable substances. Thus, it is expected to dominate other segments at a prominent CAGR of 10.3% during forecast period.
Extreme conditions in manufacturing industry due to presence of chemicals, toxic paints, and other combustible dusts result in increased adoption of explosion proof equipment. In fact, corrosion resistant motors are widely adopted in the manufacturing industry, as they act as a prevention under abnormal conditions. Thus, the manufacturing segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period.
However, other industries that include HVAC, automotive, construction, and waste management generated the second-highest revenue in 2015 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. The automotive and construction industries are exposed to flammable substances that pose danger to the health and safety of individuals and environment. The installation of explosion proof systems & solutions within the industries has witnessed a notable growth.

Analyst Review
Explosion proof equipment are the products or devices designed and installed to prevent spark from causing an explosion. The adoption of spark-resistant products in the hazardous locations of processing facilities ensures increased safety, better productivity, and environment safety. Besides the explosion-protected products, the demand for explosion proof systems & solutions has increased. The integration of automation system, monitoring system among others ensures proper detection and tracking of the equipment as well as monitors the functioning of such equipment. Therefore, such components in addition to systems detect accidental explosions, leakage of harmful gases, or any other obstacles during production, which increases the security of the personnel, machinery, and surroundings.
The designing and examination of an explosion proof equipment are regulated as per the NEC and ATEX/IEC standards, which formulate the equipment production on the basis of the Zone system and class, division, and group system, respectively. North America follows the class, division, and group system, whereas the European Union adheres to the Zone system.
Asia-Pacific has shown prominent growth in adopting explosion-protected equipment owing to growth in industrial sectors.
