In an emergency, various sorts of refuge chambers can be employed. The most frequent kind is an above-ground chamber, usually built in a busy space like a lobby or corridor. These rooms may hold up to 50 people and are often composed of steel or concrete. The underground chamber is a different chamber intended for usage in underground structures like mines and tunnels. These rooms frequently come with air filtration and ventilation systems and can normally hold up to 100 people.

COVID-19 IMPACT

 Lockdown Restrictions Hampered the Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the market. The market expanded steadily before the epidemic, and fresh goods and programs were constantly created. However, the market has been badly impacted since the covid-19 epidemic. Many businesses were obliged to reduce their R&D budgets to withstand the pandemic’s economic crisis. As a result, innovation in the market has slowed.

Additionally, many businesses have had to permanently close owing to the pandemic, which has decreased demand for Refuge Chambers even more. Despite these obstacles, the Refuge Chamber market still offers room for expansion. More dependable and powerful Refuge Chambers are required because of the recent rise of natural disasters and terrorist acts worldwide. Additionally, demand for these items increases as the value of having a dependable refuge during an emergency becomes more widely understood. Consequently, even though the covid-19 epidemic has negatively impacted the market, there are still prospects for growth in this industry.
