High product prices and user discomfort may support respiratory protective equipment market growth
Despite a broad scope for product adoption, the industry faces a major challenge in the form of high respiratory protective device prices and user discomfort. While powered RPEs see strong demand among many healthcare workers, their weight and connection to the corrugated breathing tube impedes the user mobility to a certain extent, hampering product adoption. In addition, the facepieces used in air-purifying respirators also reduce sound transmission by attenuating and distorting sound, making communication difficult in crucial settings.
Strong demand for PAPR from doctors and healthcare workers to accelerate product segment growth

Based on the product, the respiratory protective equipment market is bifurcated into supplied air respirator (SAR), air purifying respirator (APR), and others. The air purifying respirator (APR) segment is further classified into powered and unpowered.
With respect to APR, the powered segment is anticipated to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2032. Elevated use of these products among doctors and healthcare workers during the pandemic has given the segment a strong revenue boost. Powered APRs offer more protection to wearers in comparison to N95 FFRs and reusable elastomeric half-face piece respirators. With more potent virus variants, such as the XBB.1.5, spreading across the world, the demand for powered APR masks is likely to go up.
Growing demand from the military & aviation sector
In terms of application, the respiratory protective equipment industry revenue from the military & aviation segment will cross USD 1 billion by 2032, due to the rising demand for protective masks in the defense and aviation sector. The military uses advanced respiratory protectors to protect personnel from exposure to toxic fumes during conflict. Meanwhile, the aviation sector extensively uses RPEs as oxygen masks for passengers during emergency situations. The aviation sector is slated to foster demand for more RPEs as air travel picks up again, while the military sector is forecast to generate more demand for RPEs in response to heightening geopolitical tensions.
Rapid industrialization to fuel Latin America market share
