Electrical Safety Products Market Size

According to a recent study by Global Market Insights Inc., the electrical safety products market was estimated at USD 27 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow from USD 28 billion in 2025 to USD 46.9 billion in 2034, at a CAGR of 5.9%.
 

• In the last ten years, electricity-related hazards have become an important motivator in the global market for electrical safety products. In the EU, fatal electrical accidents happen at a rate of 200 cases per 1 million inhabitants, which is 30 times greater than the collective amount of accidents due to other causes of death.
   
• In the U.S., electrical incidents account for about 5.3% of all workplace deaths with 150 average electrical deaths per year. The magnitude of electricity-related fatalities underscores the immense need for better equipment, from residual-current devices (RCDs) and insulated tools to arc-flash protection to avoid potentially hazardous incidents, saving human lives.
   
• While improved knowledge of the dangers of electricity, especially in everyday domestic situations, there is a growing expectation for safety solutions. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reports 1,000 workplace incidents per year connected to electricity as the principal hazard, with circa 30 deaths.
   
• The electrical workplace fatality rate accounts for 4% of all workplace deaths. Globally, estimates indicate 1.2 million people suffer electrical injuries yearly an indicator of the ubiquity of the hazard. The availability of this information is resulting in people, contractors or companies wanting a dependable wiring solution, specifically safer wiring and circuit breakers and compliance in the installation of electrical systems across residential and commercial properties.
   
• Government agencies and regulatory bodies are increasing safety requirements around electrical systems contributing to market growth. Standards such as the IEC 60364 Series (EU) for shock protection and RCD requirements are becoming fundamental requirements to design and implement installations.
   
• Moreover, safety authorities, such as Finland's TUKES and the Federation of Accident Insurance Institutions are requiring retraining of existing workers, safe working procedures and better reporting in several high exposure industries to lessen the associated risks. As a result of this regulatory pressure, manufacturers have begun to provide certified, safe products that protect workers and mitigate compliance risk. Given all regulatory and awareness trends happening right now, there is a huge demand in sectors that are most vulnerable to electrical exposure.
   
• In the United States, overhead power-line contact, unexpected, energized contact and near energized equipment account for over 90% of electrical workplace fatalities. Industries such as construction, utilities, and heavy manufacturer, where these incidents are occurring, are moving to advanced safety systems to keep their workers safe and to minimize costly downtime.
   
• With manufacturers implementing obligatory safety policies and there is a heightened awareness across the world in both developed and emerging economies, the market for electrical safety products is set to experience sustained growth, and continuous expansion for the near future.
   

Electrical Safety Products Market Trends

• One of the trends in the electrical safety products industry is the increasing acceptance of smart (and IoT enabled) safety electrical products. Manufacturers are creating connected circuit breakers, sensors, monitoring systems or devices that can report through an IoT platform immediately stopping of the electrical faults occurring and remotely adjusting various pieces of safety equipment.
   
• Adapting the knowledge provided through connecting smart devices will give electrical safety products a chance to intervene deterring accidents before they occur and to be an indicator for predictive maintenance reducing down time while at the same time promoting safety in industrial, commercial, and residential environments.
   
• The rapid growth of renewable energy installations such as solar and wind farms along with increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is creating immediate demand for specification of electrical safety products. Providing unique safety devices for specific characteristics of electrical safety i.e., DC circuit breakers from solar panels or surge protection specific to EV charging stations drives the development of new products predicting that the electrical energy sources are committed forming a safe reliable electrical flow construct in these emergent energy infrastructures.
   
• As governments around the globe tighten electrical safety codes and workplace safety regulations, compliance is clearly becoming an important driver of market growth. Organizations are increasingly required to use certified safety products, in order to meet occupational health and safety requirements and to avoid litigation.
   
• This regulatory pressure may also force organizations to either upgrade old electrical systems or buy new modern safety equipment and products, and this should create steady demand growth in many sectors of the economy including transportation, manufacturing, construction, and utilities.
   
• Another trend that we are seeing in the electrical safety market is the increasing focus on electrical safety training and awareness programs. Organizations are spending more and more money to train their workforce about safe practice, safe use of personal protective equipment, and following safety programs.
   
• This increasing emphasis on training and awareness complements product adoption and usage, as they can be used properly and effectively. Successful training and awareness programs lead to fewer mishaps and establish a culture of safety in workplaces around the world.
