A hazmat suit is a short-term hazardous materials suit. Worn as personal protective equipment, suits serve as an impermeable whole-body garments. Various types of suits are available and are designed to protect against a range of hazardous materials, liquids, gases, and others.

Hazmat suits protect against exposure to or contact with chemicals, biological agents, and/or radioactive materials. The suits are made from various materials including plastic, fabric, and rubber, and are designed to hold an independent oxygen system.

Two types of hazmat suits widely used are splash protection and gastight suits. Splash protection suits are designed to protect the wearer from any contact with liquids but are not designed to offer protection from gases and dust.

Gastight suits offer protection from liquids, as well as gases and dust, and are also known as biohazard suits, chemical suits, and anti-radiation suits.

Dynamics

Advanced hazmat suits that are completely airtight offer protection from airborne contaminants and toxic chemicals, which makes them reliable for applications in the military, industry, and healthcare sectors. Increasing demand for more advanced, efficient, and reliable hazmat suits for applications in many of the above sectors is a major factor expected to drive the growth of the global hazmat suits market.

Hazmat suits are critical for healthcare and supporting staff and personnel on the ground during virus outbreaks. In the recent past, the number of potentially dangerous virus outbreaks has been increasing, along with virus strains becoming increasingly resistant. Spans between outbreaks are reducing, and newer viruses are emerging.

Hazmat suits have played decisive roles in protecting healthcare personnel during the Ebola Virus (EVD) outbreak in West Africa from 2013–to 2018. This went on to be recorded as the most widespread outbreak of EVD in history.

Currently, demand for hazmat suits as well as a range of personal protection equipment (PPE) and accessories, medical face masks, ventilators, COVID-19 test kits, respiratory devices and equipment, drugs and pharmaceuticals needed to treat resulting diseases and conditions, and others have been sky-rocketing to levels never seen before.

On 8 April 2020, the Poland government purchased 70,000 hazmat suits and 6 million face masks for use against the COVID-10 outbreak. Demand is expected to remain steady and urgent for as long as the virus continues to infect populations.

With supply lines and channels being severely impacted by governments implementing urgently needed total lockdown of their respective countries, products required in the war against COVID-19 are in significantly high demand.

However, the emergence of new entrants and increased focus of domestic manufacturers offering sub-standard, low-cost, and unapproved products is expected to impact the growth of the global hazmat suits market to a significant extent currently, as well as into the near future.

The high cost of hazmat suits is a primary factor expected to hamper demand for hazmat suits to some extent and in some emerging economies, and restrain the growth of the global hazmat suits market to a certain extent.

Additionally, except for laboratory versions, hazmat suits are poorly ventilated and can only be used for a limited time duration, depending upon the difficulty of work or task, and climate conditions. These factors can be considered capable of negatively or positively impacting adoption, preference, or sale.

Market Segmentation:

By Product Type:

Among the product type segments, the gastight suit segment is expected to account for a major revenue share in the global hazmat suits market, and the various factors in the market and product attributes and features, and the reasons for the steady or high demand are provided in detail in the report.

By Safety Standard:

Among the safety standard segments, the level A segment is projected to account for the majority share in the global hazmat suits market in terms of revenue. Level A is the highest level of protection from gases, vapors, mists, and particles. The suits of level A are fully concealed on the outside and have a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

By Application:

Among the application segments, the infection control & biohazard segment is expected to register a major revenue share in the global hazmat suits market and the trend is expected to continue in the future as well. This is attributed to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and future precautionary measures, and increasing investment in healthcare on a global scale.

By End-Use:

Among the end-use segments, the healthcare segment is projected to register the fastest growth rate in the next coming years. The coronavirus outbreak and resulting pandemic, and rapid growth and developments in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries have been resulting in large-scale procurement of hazmat suits by various government and medical organizations.

Regional Analysis:

The market in the Asia Pacific currently accounts for the fastest revenue growth owing to a rapid and urgent spike in demand for PPE, hazmat suits, and varieties and ranges of products required in the war against COVID-19.

The market in the Asia Pacific is also projected to register a rapid revenue growth rate in the near future owing to increasing demand, need, and adoption of hazmat suits for various applications in countries in the region.

Increasing development in healthcare and oil & gas sectors, followed by other end-users are among other major factors driving the growth of the Asia Pacific hazmat suits market. The presence of many manufacturing companies offering cost-effective hazmat suits of levels C and D in China is among some of the other factors expected to support the growth of the global hazmat suit market in the region.
