Self-contained breathing apparatus or SCBA is
a device that contains breathable compressed air used by the firefighters and
rescue workers to protect their respiratory system from super-heated
atmospheres, toxic gases, and other hazards attendant
with an atmosphere that is Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health
(IDLH). The primary function of the SCBA is to remove carbon dioxide
produced by the body, supply oxygen for normal breathing, and increase the
supply during exertion. Closed circuit SCBA is an apparatus, designed to
protect personnel in toxic, hazardous, or oxygen- deficient environments. It
recirculates breathing air and purifies it by removing carbon dioxide and
adding fresh oxygen. It is generally used in the mining industry as it is
suitable for the applications where a breathing gas is mandatory for a longer
duration. It has two basic gas-passage configurations: the loop and the
pendulum. The loop configuration consists of gas-tight loop for responder’s
exhalation & inhalation and used for emergency responder applications while
pendulum configuration is used for underwater diving.
According to study, “Global Closed-Circuit SCBA Market Status (2015-2019)
and Forecast (2020-2024) by Region, Product Type & End-Use”
the key companies operating in the global closed-circuit SCBA market are MSA,
Interspiro, Scott Safety, Shigematsu, Honeywell, Matisec, Drager, Sinoma, Cam
Lock, Koken, Avon. The constant need for innovation and development due to
increasing user expectation & shifting Health and Safety regulations has
forced CC-SCBA manufacturers to gradually spend on research & development (R&D)
in order to develop efficient products. Manufacturers are also using highly adaptable
technologies in SCBA which is improving the precision of the device, thus
fuelling the growth of the market.
Based on product type, closed-circuit SCBA market is segmented into low pressure
open-circuit SCBA and high pressure open-circuit SCBA. In addition, based on
end-users, market is segmented into industrial use, firefighting and others.
The closed-circuit SCBA market is driven by
rise in occurrences of fire hazards, followed by increase in demand from fire
services and rise in demand of safety equipment in fields for instance rescue
operations, ironworks, nuclear facilities, fire stations, and chemical plants. However,
limited service life & duration of air supply and training required for
their safe use or maintenance may impact the market. Moreover, growth in instances
of injuries including severe abrasions, punctures, thermal and chemical burns
is a key opportunity for market.
Based on geography, the North-American region
holds major share in closed-circuit SCBA
market owing to growth in requirement for high-utility protective
equipment, presence of a large number of players and rise in number of
developing techniques & equipment in the region. Whereas, the European and
Asian-Pacific regions are predicted to exhibit higher CAGR due to increase in
number of occupational injuries and growth in industrial construction over the
forecast period. In upcoming years, it is expected that future of the market
will be bright n account of high spending on modern technologies along with
encouraging of new medical devices during the forecast period. Moreover, global
manufacturers are likely to establish their production facilities in the
developing countries of Asia Pacific due to low production costs.
