Demand Analysis of Immersion Suits (2017-2021) Vs. Market Outlook (2022-2032)
The end use that saw major use case of constant wear immersion suits was marine. This can be mainly attributed to high demand for rescue suits for operations in cargo ships and oil rigs.
Adoption of immersion jackets in the marine segment is poised to grow at a higher single-digit CAGR over the projected forecast period. Further, policies supporting HSE practices will provide major thrust to immersion suit sales and market revenue is projected to increase 2X over the decade.
Oil & Gas Exploration Activities to Drive Usage of Immersion Suits
Energy demand is at an all-time high and the need for fuel is rising at a fast pace. Consequently, to meet rising oil demand, offshore rig activities have picked up pace. Since rig life is surrounded with dangerous activities, it becomes of high importance to adopt survival suits in order to prevent human loss.
Additionally, sea life is fairly unpredictable owing to sudden change in weather conditions. Also, rig accidents in recent years such as the deep water horizon oil spill have made it mandatory for companies to provide rig workers with essential survival suits in order to cope up with any such anomalies.
The above-mentioned factors coupled with rise in the adoption of health and safety practices in the oil & gas industry is poised to drive immersion suit shipments at a CAGR of around 6% over the period of 2022-2032.
