Electrical Protective Equipment Market – Drivers and Forecasts by Technavio

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Energy—Technavio
analysts forecast the global
electrical protective equipment market to grow at a CAGR
of over 5% during the forecast period, according to their latest report.

The research study covers the present scenario and growth prospects of
the global electrical
protective equipment market for 2017-2021.
Technavio presents a detailed picture of the market by way of study,
synthesis, and summation of data from multiple sources.

The growth of the market is driven by the development of various
end-user industries such as power, construction, and manufacturing. The
other factor driving the market growth is the standardization arc-rated
equipment. The Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) provides standard
specifications of arc protective clothing and equipment. In addition,
the expansion of power generation and distribution infrastructure,
globally, will drive the demand for electrical protective equipment.

Technavio analysts highlight the following three factors that are
contributing to the growth of the global electrical protective equipment
market:

Increasing demand for power

The increasing demand for power is driving the need for electrical
protective equipment. Electrical protective equipment is used in
industries that expose their employees to various electrical hazards.
Workers who work around energized lines or electrical equipment are
exposed to risks such as arc flashes and blasts.

Neelesh Prakash Singh, a lead power
research analyst at Technavio, says, “Growing population coupled with
rapid urbanization and industrialization is responsible for the
increasing consumption of power. Power is significantly consumed in the
residential and commercial sectors. Emerging economies have witnessed a
considerable change in income patterns of individuals because of
economic growth and expanding population.”

Rising need to determine ATPV of equipment

The primary safety standard for arc flash protective clothing is the
ASTM International standard, ASTM F 1506. This standard provides
specifications for materials of the apparel that is used by electrical
workers who are exposed to arc and thermal-related hazards.

“Standard tests are done on the clothing with an electric arc. Based
on the results, arc flash ratings are provided for the clothing,
depending on its resistance against the incident thermal energy, it is
exposed to, arising from the arc flash. The assigned rating is based on
the estimated onset of second-degree burns,” adds Neelesh.

Growing stringent regulatory standards

Electrical protective equipment needs to adhere to certain standards to
be able to protect a worker against electrical hazards. Electrical arc
protective clothing includes, pants, shirts, hoods, jackets, rainwear,
parkas, and coveralls.

Standard 70 E, published by the NFPA, is formally the standard for
Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces. The standard
classifies hazards using a simplified rating scale. Requirements for
safe work practices are to ensure the protection of personnel by
reducing his/her exposure to electrical hazards.
