Market Segmentation

By Type (Tight-Fitting, Loose-Fitting), Filter Type (Particle Filter, Gas/Vapour Filter, Combined Filters), Class (Air-Purifying, Atmosphere-Supplying), Size (Medium, Large, Small), Gas & Vapour Protection Type (Particulates, Chemicals, Acid Gas, Organic Vapour, Others), Equipment (Filtering Device Types (Negative Respirators), Breathing Apparatus (BA) Types (Positive Respirators) and Accessories), Application (Laboratories, Chemical Process, Fit Testing, Welding, Grinding, Sanding, Assembly and Mechanical, Painting, Brazing, Glass Etching, Fertilizing, UV Protection, Others), Vertical (Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, Construction, Automotive, Petrochemical/Chemical, Mining, Metal Fabrication, Oil and Gas, Food & Beverage, Wood Working, Paper & Pulp, Defense & Military, Fire Services, Power Generation, Agriculture & Forestry, Textile, Cement Production, Ship Building, Others), Country (U.S., Canada, Mexico)

Major growing sectors under the market segmentation are as follows:

? In type, the tight fitting segment is dominating and growing because it provide better safety in hazardous areas or field especially for those who are working in chemical, fire and other field. It has tight seal between the respirator and the face and/or neck of the respirator that helps to work properly. With such benefits the respirator provides more protection to employers.
? In filter type, the particulate filter segment is dominating because these filters are generally used in almost fields to avoid the aerosols such as dust, mists, fumes, smoke bacteria and other. These filters are useful in trapping dusts as well as some gas and vapors which leads to increase in its demand. Combined cartridge/filters segment is growing as it is the combinations of different filters that protect the individual from gas or vapor as well as contaminated air.
? In class, air-purifying segment is dominating because it involves particulate and gas/vapour filters which protect the body against hazardous particles and gases. In this, individual needs to breath to get clean air in. However, supplied air respirator maintains the positive pressure as per the demand and protects the body from air contaminants which may include gas and particles. One can easily breathe in clean air with this respirator and are available in tight fit form.
? In size, medium segment is dominating and growing because medium size respirator mask (full and half face) fit 80% of the population. Due to the proper fitting in most of the people medium size products (respirator) demand is increasing. The large size respirators are used by experienced people and small size product are used by children.
? In gas & vapour protection type, the particulates segment is dominating the market as the particulate matter is easily present in the environment and it causes infection among the people. In gas and vapour protection type there are number of particulate masks that protects the people from infection. The chemical segment is growing with the highest CAGR owing to the increasing usage of chemicals in the industries which are hazardous to people and are leading to chemical pollution.
? In equipment, the filtering device types (negative respirators) segment is dominating the market owing to its increasing demand as in filter type different filters are used for protecting the individuals from the hazard gases and is available since long time and are also provided by various companies. Breathing apparatus (BA) types (positive respirators) and accessories segment is growing as it is more easier to breath in any environment and is available with the cylinders that help in providing clean air that is required by an individual.
? In application, the laboratories segment is dominating the market because laboratories in each sectors deals with pathogen, solid, liquid and other contaminants. These contaminants can be easily avoided by the number of respirators as per the area of interest. The chemical process segment is growing with the highest CAGR owing to the increasing usage of chemicals in the industries which are hazardous to people and are leading to chemical pollution.
? In vertical, automotive segment is dominating and growing in the market because of change in lifestyle and urbanization and people are tending to live a luxurious life. During the production of automotive products, an individual comes in contact with various disease causing components such as dusts, mist, chemicals and others. In order to avoid such problems related to health respiratory protection plays in important role in automotive sector.
