Protective footwears are intended to deliver protection & comfort and avoid foot fatigue, thus ensuring safety of workers and improving their working efficiency. Features such as enhanced slip resistance, reduction of foot fatigue, and increased support for the arch & heel are being incorporated in the industrial protective footwear, by the players operating in the market.
According to Eurostat, in 2015, there were just over 3.2 million non-fatal accidents that caused to at least four calendar days of absence from work and an estimated 3,876 fatal accidents in the Europe, a ratio of approximately 830 non-fatal accidents for every fatal accident.
Within the European Union, the construction, manufacturing, transportation and storage, and agriculture, forestry and fishing sectors collectively accounted for just over two thirds (67.8 %) of all fatal accidents at work and somewhat less than half (44.9 %) of all non-fatal accidents at work in 2015. More than one in five (21.0 %) fatal accidents at work in the Europe in 2015 took place within the construction sector, while the manufacturing sector had the next highest share (17.0 %), closely followed by transportation and storage (16.5 %). Agriculture, forestry and fishing (13.2 %) was the only other NACE section to record a double-digit share of the total number of fatal accidents.
Rising safety concerns for workers in construction and manufacturing sectors is likely to accelerate industrial safety footwear market size. Rapid growth in several industries also has augmented workforce globally. However, factory workers face extended work hours, poor working conditions, and job instability. This has a high impact on the industrial protective footwear market growth. Strict government regulations concerning workplace safety have resulted in increased demand of protective shoes.
Growing awareness towards health & safety of the labors along with mounting industrial mortalities in chemical, construction and other manufacturing sectors due to lack of protection may drive the industrial safety footwear market growth. These are manufactured to prevent and protect foot fatigue, slip resistance and provide increased support for the arch and heel which are being incorporated in the footwear market, thereby stimulating industry growth.
The report analyses global industrial safety footwear market based on material, application, and geography.
Leather, rubber, plastic, waterproof and polyurethane are the various materials of used for the manufacturing of these footwears. Amongst these, leather is a preferred shoe material for the manufacturing of industrial footwear as they deliver stability in the shoes. Proper tanning process should be articulated to lessen the risk, which results in improved shoes durability and bolster the industrial safety footwear market demand. Similarly, the demand for plastic shoes is likely expected to witness a moderate growth during the forecast period. Plastic caps are largely used in boots since they are lighter than metals and allow a metal free shoe to be manufactured which are used in airport industry.
The market finds application in various sectors like construction, manufacturing, mining oil & gas, chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals and transportation. Construction workers are expected to wear safety shoes having puncture-resistant and slip-resistant soles. Thus, by application, construction segment is likely to hold for the largest market share during the forecast period. However, the demand for these footwears from oil & gas segment is also expected to rise as the workers here are involved with heavy engineering process and require protective footwear to avoid accidents and dangers.
Geographically, the industrial safety footwear is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the world.
The North America driven by countries like the U.S., Canada and Mexico is growing owing to the regulatory framework leading to increase in end-use application demand. Likewise, the European market for the industrial safety footwear market is anticipated to register a moderate growth rate due to rise in awareness regarding safety of workers.
In 2015, the fatal accidents for working people ranged from less than 1.00 per 100,000 in Germany, whereas the United Kingdom, Sweden and the Netherlands to be higher than 3.50 fatal accidents per 100,000 employed people in Portugal, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Romania. The highest for the occurrence of fatal accidents was observed in Romania, at 5.56 fatal accidents per 100,000 working people.
The major market players in the industrial safety footwear market include JAL Group, COFRA, Dunlop Boots, Hewats Edinburgh, Honeywell Safety Products, Rahman Group, Rock Fall Ltd., Uvex Safety Group, VF Corporation, Wolverine and among others.
