The global safety helmets market size is expected to reach USD 9,442.5 million by 2033, registering a CAGR of 7.9% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising incidence of brain injuries across various end-user industries, such as construction, and manufacturing, coupled with stringent industrial regulations is anticipated to drive industry growth. Rapid industrialization and rising infrastructural projects in emerging nations due to improvements in lifestyle are projected to stimulate product demand over the coming years. Accidents, particularly head injuries and occupational risks, are quite common across various sectors, such as building, mining, and power, thus propelling product demand.
Increasing investments in R&D with a keen focus on product development have led safety helmet manufacturers to introduce helmets with advanced technology. In addition, safety helmets with better designs and added features were introduced by manufacturers, further augmenting the demand. The introduction of stringent industry policies and government regulations has resulted in manufacturers requiring more data and predictive models to assist in minimizing the risk of work-related mortality and injuries. Massive penalties for non-compliance with safety standards have surged the adoption of safety helmets in the U.S.
Through the Workplace Innovator Award program, OSHA has collaborated with numerous health and safety groups to provide new ideas and solutions to improve health and safety awareness. Such favorable efforts by government agencies and businesses to enhance safety standards have been critical in reducing occupational accidents. Companies, such as 3M andCenturion Safety Products Ltd., are undertaking strategic acquisitions, partnerships, and product launches to strengthen their product portfolio. For instance,in January 2021, Centurion Safety Products Ltd. collaborated with Mips to launch safety helmet products using Mips helmet safety technology.
