U.S. Industrial Hearing Protection Market Analysis

U.S. Industrial Hearing Protection Market Analysis

U.S. industrial earplugs hearing protection market size should witness gains at over 3% during the forecast period owing to its simplicity to use and portability. Earplugs are usually made from silicone or foam and inserted into the ear canal blocking the noise waves entering the ear. Functionality of earplugs are decided by the type of material used, which could be disposable, reusable and banded. Wide application scope of earplugs in construction, mining, manufacturing and heavy machinery industry should drive regional product demand.
 

Disposable earplugs are set forth to experience strong growth during forecast period owing to rising emphasis on using bio-degradable material in industries.  These products are manufactured only for single use and is disposed-off when done, which should propel U.S. industrial hearing protection market size.  
 

U.S. industrial hearing protection ear muffs market size is anticipated to surpass USD 410 million by 2024. Earmuffs are applied from moderate to high industrial noise environment and designed to cover the whole ear to improve attenuation and comfortability. High customizability on earmuff device coupled with long life, adjustability and transfer of vibration should drive product demand. 
 

U.S. industrial hearing protection market size from manufacturing applications should witness growth at over 2.5% during forecast period. Manufacturing industry is susceptible to noisy environment due to machineries, engines, generators, motors and induced production process involved. U.S is a major manufacturing hub producing over 18% of the world goods. Workers are prone to noise level above 90 dB and low frequency noise causing temporary and permanent hearing loss driving regional product demand.
 

U.S. industrial hearing protection market size from oil & gas applications may surpass USD 55 million by 2024. According to OSHA guidelines, workers in this industry operating on or near oil rig location and refineries should wear hearing protective devices. Recent development in oil extraction technology and discovery of huge shale oil & gas reserves in North America should be a major driving force behind industry growth. U.S. boasts to be the world’s largest oil & gas consuming nation which sized to be over 850 million metric tons in 2016 for crude oil.
 

U.S. industrial hearing protection market size from pharmaceutical industry would grow substantially during the forecast timeframe. This growth can be attributed to growing demand for medicine and health awareness among consumers. Increasing medicines demand should induce larger production capacity for manufacturers and complex production process causing high noise level above 85 dB creating greater demand for devices.
