Rapid industrialization along with growing end user industries such as construction, mining, food, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas and rising government initiatives to enhance employee safety at workplace will support the industrial safety footwear market growth. Moreover, special training programs with development of new strict safety standards would further increase the safety equipment demand over the forecast period.
 

The significant spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to many governments imposing stringent lockdowns to reduce the prevalence of the disease. This has created a fear appeal among consumers who are indulging in panic-induced purchases of essential commodities such as food, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, dairy products, and home care products.
 

Also, consumers have delayed or postponed spending on non-essential products & services such as footwear, apparels, and home appliance during the lockdown period led to restrict the demand for footwear. Also, temporary shutdown of manufacturing units and closer of manufacturing industries also reduced the demand for industrial safety footwear during the COVID-19 outbreak.
 

The global industrial safety footwear market growth may be hindered by product substitute threat from inferior quality products. There is marginal possibility for prevalence of inferior quality products, which indirectly increases the workplace hazards owing to substandard product qualities. These substandard products are available mainly due to the existence of the unorganized market.
 

However, after understanding the issue government has implemented various regulation to reduce the duplication and maintain the quality of products. Therefore, safety products undergo stringent quality check without compromising the safety standards. For instance, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) formulates and directs guidelines for industry safety footwear standards and help to overcome above mentioned hindrance.

The demand for industrial safety footwear from construction application is expected to surpass USD 4.95 billion in 2027. Protective shoes and boots are used in construction sector which cope with many industrial hazards such as foot injury, being caught in running equipment, overturn. Industrial safety shoes must be impermeable, resistance to casting oils, concrete & fuels, no resistance loss, water resistance and protection against chemicals. In addition, they need a special sole for anti-slip & absorbing shocks and must ensure a high level of adhesion on wet, greasy, slippery, and steeply sloping floors and surfaces.
 

Additionally, as per OSHA, construction workers are required to wear safety work shoes or boots with slip-resistant and puncture-resistant soles. While working around heavy equipment or falling objects safety-toed footwear is essential to prevent crushed toes. Therefore, these strict regulation by the government to prevent workers form hazard at the construction site should fuel the industrial safety footwear market growth over the coming timeframe.
