Report Scope

Global Powered air purifying respirators Market: Description

Powered air purifying respirators is a ventilator to safeguard the workers against contaminated air. It is also alluded as PAPRs. The PAPRs consist of a head-gear and a fan assembly actively filters the contaminated air in the atmosphere, that is it removes pollutant or pathogens present in air. These PAPRs sieves a sufficient proportion of these hazardous pathogens into clean and breathable air to users mouth and nose. They consist of higher respiratory devices than filtering piece respirators such as N95 masks to protect workers from inhaling harmful chemicals at their workplace. Some PAPRs are also familiar as positive-pressure masks, blower units, or just blowers.

The PAPRs are worn for high-risk aerosol-generating procedures. This equipment is powered via battery that comprises of half or full face-piece, a breathing tube, battery-operated blower, and particulate filters specifically the HEPA. Under the process, the contaminated air travels through HEPA filter that eliminates the contaminated air and purifies it to supply clean and breathable air.

The latest COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on the market. Lately, there have been lot of pollutants and pathogens causing contamination of air.

Lately, there has been rising air contamination and air borne diseases which has given rise to air purifying devices or respirators globally. In addition to this, growing awareness of the importance of air purifying devices or respirators and safety at work place is adding importance to market expansion.

Stringent controlling norms with regards to employee’s health & safety in high-risk professions such as mining, oil & gas, and construction are expected to drive a long-term demand for PAPR giving a boost to the growth. Additionally, greater investments in military & defence sector are further expected to motivate the market. Compelling regulation that have been set by Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and World Health Organization for employee’s in relation to health and safety is expected to boost the market. Agreements regarding worker’s health issues and practices such as quality management, are expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast time.

Market Restraint

The high-costs incurred in production of the PAPR is drowning the market. The PAPR production is highly capital-intensive due to high cost of raw material and complex manufacturing process. Yet, major supplier and manufacturers have integrated to bring in cost-effective solutions while developing these products. The initial capital investment is high which is expected to be the barrier for new entrants. In addition to this, complex manufacturing process twined with the need to fulfill safety requirement is posing a major challenge for the industry.

Covid-19 impact on market

Although the latest pandemic had swiping effects on global economy, it is poised to be positive for the powered air purifying respirators market. Recently, there has been lot of air pollution due to growing congestions and traffic jams. In addition to this, certain pathogens are also causing contamination of the air. The recent lung infection which caused a massive destruction globally, made it compelling for individuals to use N95 masks. This had a positive effect on the demand for N95 masks. There was a surge in demand for the air purifying respirators devices by healthcare workers and doctors for securing themselves from contraction of the disease. This boosted the market.
