ESCAPE DESCENT DEVICE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global escape descent device market was valued at approximately USD 1.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 2 billion in 2025, reaching USD 2.8 billion by 2033, with a projected CAGR of 5% from 2025 to 2033.

An emergency escape descent device is a life-saving device used to escape a dangerous environment such as a fire, smoke, poisonous gases, biological threats, or harmful industrial or maritime situations. With a device usage time of up to 15 minutes, the device is typically employed for rapid escape from a situation in which the individual must quickly quit his immediate surroundings. EEBDs are ideal for applications such as restricted areas, maritime, industrial and oil and gas. It is easy to use because it is designed to generate airflow automatically as soon as the bag is opened.

COVID-19 IMPACT

The Pandemic Caused Underlying Malady Downsized the Market Share

We can all see how the COVID-19 outbreak has caused a slew of unexpected and substantial changes in every industry, whether it is automotive, hospitality, aviation, retail, or any other. Unemployment rates rise when an economy gets less stable. Additionally, COVID-19 is responsible for the current global high unemployment rate. Setbacks and forced lockdowns prohibiting people from remaining at home will have a negative impact on the growth of the escape descent device market. The situation is as follows, with the pandemic having a negative impact on the escape descent devices market share.

LATEST TRENDS

Rapid Technological Advancements and Product Innovations to Bolster the Market Sales

The market for emergency escape breathing equipment has gained traction over the world as a result of rapid technical breakthroughs and product innovations. Furthermore, the market is expected to be driven by rising demand for enhanced safety systems in industries such as marine, oil and gas, hospitals and labs, and so on in the future years. Growing concerns about the installation of safety equipment on ships, safety compliance, crew safety training, the most recent safety regulations, and proper training for crew and marine officials will have an impact on the enhancement of safety measures taken on ships, propelling the market growth of emergency escape breathing devices even further.

DRIVING FACTORS

The Automatic Segment Holding a Significant Share to Drive the Market Share

Automated evacuation and emergency escape systems demand the least amount of training and information from the user. The escape descent device and system are totally autonomous and do not require electricity. Individuals can activate automatic control of the descent using user or coworker operated devices for additional pliability.

The Airway Management Devices to Witness a Healthy Growth and Inflate the Market Share

Airway management devices are expected to develop in the future as the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rises, as do the occurrences of asthma and bronchitis. Endotracheal tubes, tracheostomy tubes, ventilators, and resuscitators are examples of airway management devices that are employed in the therapy of the targeted disorders, hence boosting segment growth. According to the World Health Organization's 2017 Global Burden of Diseases study, there were approximately 251 million cases with COPD worldwide in 2016. The presence of a wide number of targeted diseases all around the world will fuel segment growth in the following year.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Initial Cost and No Fixed Lifespan to Act as Barrier for the New Entrants and Market Players

The need for a significant initial investment could hamper the industry's overall development. There is no set lifespan as long as the Evacuator® passes a trained technician's inspection. Because they make it more difficult for new market participants to enter, these upfront fees hinder market expansion. Businesses in less developed nations would be unable to purchase and install such systems due to their exorbitant cost. This is a substantial obstacle for ambitious escape device entrepreneurs, and it may have a negative impact on the growth of the escape descent device business. Concerns over high initial cost and lifespan to hinder the growth of the global escape descent device market share.

ESCAPE DESCENT DEVICE MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

North American region to Lead With Diversified Marketplace and Product Innovations

In terms of value and volume, North America is the largest market for escape descent device, followed by Europe. Demand from North America is predicted to increase due to rising auto manufacturing volumes and increased R&D investments (R&D). The increased prevalence of cardiac and respiratory ailments, an ageing population, the presence of a large number of medical device businesses, rising R&D expenditure, product developments, and technological advancements are all expected to drive the escape descent device market share higher. COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States, according to the American Lung Cancer Society, with around 15 million people diagnosed in 2018. The United States controls the largest proportion of the North American Resuscitation Devices Market. Additionally, this region's well-established healthcare infrastructure and rising healthcare expenditure are likely to drive the Resuscitation Devices Market. These factors are also propelling the region's escape descent device market growth.
