COMPOSITE SCBA CYLINDERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global composite scba cylinders market size was USD 0.78 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 1.04 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.3% from 2025 to 2033. 

Composite SCBA cylinders are made of carbon fiber wrapped around an aluminum alloy liner to provide a lightweight cylinder that can withstand high pressures. These cylinders' weight-to-air capacity is a considerable improvement over the aluminum cylinders that have historically been  utilized as SCBA or EEBD cylinders. Rescuers, firefighters, and others wear self-contained breathing apparatuses (SCBAs), also known as compressed air breathing apparatuses (CABAs) or simply breathing apparatuses (BAs), to deliver breathable air in situations where life or health are immediately in danger (IDLH).

When dangerous conditions arise, reliable, lightweight SCBA cylinders offer breathing protection in industrial settings. Rescue personnel, firefighters, and others wear self-contained breathing equipment (SCBA) devices to deliver breathable air in situations where life or health is immediately in danger (IDLH). SCBA cylinders for a variety of uses, including by first responders, the military, industry, and firefighters.

COVID 19 IMPACT

Economic Downturn Impacted Growth Trends

The production of SCBA was severely hampered by Covid-19, causing a shortage of the device in several industrial segments, and there were problems with the manufacturer's products being delivered due to transportation constraints. Industries start to suffer as economic activity slows. The market insight reports and intelligence services offered by DBMR take into account the expected effects of the economic slump on the pricing and accessibility of the items.

LATEST TRENDS

Favorable Regulations to Promote Product Adoption in Future

Due to increased health regulations in hazardous substance-handling industries like oil and gas refineries and ships carrying toxic materials, the market for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is expected to expand globally. The safety of employees is a top priority for many regulatory organizations, both internationally and regionally, and these organizations have mandated that business owners follow their safety protocols. For instance, a cargo ship must maintain a minimum of 2 firefighting outfits, whereas passenger ships must maintain a minimum of 4 firefighting outfits.

COMPOSITE SCBA CYLINDERS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

According to type, the market can be segmented into Carbon Fiber Cylinders, Fiberglass-wrapped Cylinders and Others. According to the market, the dominant segment is carbon fibre cylinders.

By Application

Based on application, the market can be divided into Firefighting, Non-Firefighting. Firefighting is the dominating segment in the upcoming future.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Use by Firefighters to Promote Growth

Firefighters and other emergency personnel frequently utilise self-contained breathers to get air in life-threatening situations. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) orders businesses to provide breathing protection for workers in hazardous environments. It is anticipated that it will increase demand for air respirators and support the market expansion for self-contained breathing systems. Having the right fire safety equipment is one approach to reduce the risk faced by individual firefighters in their dangerous line of work.

Use of Advanced Technologies to Advance Market Growth

Manufacturers of SCBAs are rushing to comply with the most recent laws and standards since many government agencies mandate the use of personal safety equipment, such as SCBAs, in hazardous workplaces. Leading producers of self-contained breathing apparatuses create cutting-edge goods using cutting-edge technology to boost sales. The "toxic twins" hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and carbon monoxide (CO), according to a press release from Dragerwerk Limited, will trigger an alarm when they are found in the atmosphere. The business will also debut SCBA combined with a brand-new hands-free team communication system in addition to this alarm technology.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Ukraine And Russia Conflicts Impedes The Market Growth

The conflict in Ukraine has had a significant influence on the markets by directly impacting supply and demand, disrupting the market and supply chain, and having a financial impact on businesses and financial markets. The automotive lightweight materials industry was threatened by manufacturing and supply chain delays in the second quarter of Covid because end-use sectors were not working at full capacity. The extensive training needed to operate the equipment may limit the expansion of the global market, but rising investment in the firefighting sector is anticipated to present growth prospects. The expansion of the global market is expected to be hampered by the high cost of acquisition and maintenance.
