Market Insights
Growing Importance of Workforce Safety Measures and High Visibility Safety Apparel (HVSA)
Accidents and fatalities are becoming more common in workplaces, such as roadways at construction sites, oil & gas industries, chemical industries, and mining sites, where low visibility is an issue. Heavy machinery, including cranes, is frequently used in industrial areas. Workers with a lack of protective equipment are more likely to have accidents, injuries, and fatalities as they cannot be spotted easily by the operators of such heavy machinery. Moreover, millions of workers are prone to struck by, run over, and backover incidents while working near traffic and construction equipment. The increasing importance of workplace safety is expected to drive the growth of the retro reflective textiles market over the forecast period.
End User Insights
Based on end user, the global market is segmented into construction, oil & gas, mining, transportation, firefighters, law enforcement agencies, and others. In 2020, the construction segment accounted for the largest revenue share; it is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The construction site is growing with rapid urbanization, which leads to many thermal-based environment problems represented by the urban heat island. These reflectors are used in signboards, personnel apparel, and vehicles at construction sites. Retro reflective textiles have been suggested as an innovative solution to reduce the energy required for cooling and improve urban microclimates. Retro reflective textiles materials enhance visibility and are essential accessory materials. Moreover, a rapid increase in construction & infrastructure activities led to a rise in the use of signboards and road color marking, which propels the growth of the market. The primary driver of the retro reflective textiles market is the large-scale investment in the construction & infrastructure sector.
