Workplace Safety Market by Component (Hardware, Software, and Services), System, Application (Incident and Emergency Management, Asset Tracking, PPE Detection), Deployment Mode, End-User and Region - Global Forecast to 2027

The global workplace safety market size is projected to grow from an estimated USD 14.2 billion in 2022 to USD 26.7 billion by 2027, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.5 % from 2022 to 2027.

Some of the factors driving the market growth include growing workplace accidents, strict industrial health and safety regulations, and the proliferation of the software-as-a-service model. However, high implementation costs are expected to hinder market growth.

Software segment to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period

Organizations need to ensure the safety of workers and assets by reducing accidents; identifying and mitigating safety risks; and complying with occupational health and safety laws. Workplace safety management solutions help organizations in improving the safety culture and protecting the workforce. The solution collects and analyzes data, including real-time field data collected through devices, to identify occupational hazards that create risks for injuries and illnesses. Moreover, the software helps organizations, transforming and leading them toward employee and environment safety. IBM, Honeywell, and 3M are some prominent players offering workplace management software.

Personal Protective Equipment Detection segment to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period

PPE equipment is designed to reduce employee exposure to chemical, biological, and physical hazards on a worksite. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) protects employees or workforce from workplace hazards, such as fall detection, chemical explosion, and ergonomic hazards. It protects the user from accidents or other adverse effects of exposure. The PPE detection and management system helps companies in tracking PPE compliance. It includes items, such as safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear, safety harnesses, and respiratory protective equipment. Many accidents are caused in chemical plants and laboratories when workers do not wear the required personal protective equipment. Regulations and laws, such as The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations in the UK 1992, are some of the regulations that must be followed by organizations using PPE. It places a duty on every employer in Great Britain to ensure that suitable PPE is provided to employees who may be exposed to any health risk.

Europe to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period

Europe is one of the leading revenue generators in the workplace safety market. To protect workers in the EU from work-related accidents and diseases, the European Commission has adopted various strategic policies. The strategic framework on health and safety at work 2021-2027 identifies the key objectives for health and safety, presents key actions, and describes instruments to address these. The European Commission works closely with agencies, such as the European Agency for Health and Safety at Work (EU-OSHA), European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), and European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.
