In addition, significant infrastructure spending for existing & new structures in Europe is expected to add to the growth of the market over the forecast period.
A variety of materials is used to manufacture industrial safety helmets such as PE, ABS, and PC. PE helmets have a higher tensile strength, and attractive design makes it suitable for construction, agriculture, mining, sand blasting, welding, and chemical industries. The segment dominated the global market accounting for 89.9% of the volume share in 2016.
Demand for safety helmets was highest in construction and is expected to witness the fastest growth in line with the expansion of the sector. Moreover, increasing number of regulations to ensure the safety of workers in the sector is expected to result in a growth of the market at a CAGR of 4.4% over the projected period.
