According to Facts and Factors, the global self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) market size was worth around USD 1091 million in 2021 and is predicted to grow to around USD 1442 million by 2028 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 4.8% between 2022 and 2028.
Self contained breathing apparatuses (SCBA) are breathing devices that prevent users from dust, gasses, and breathing deficiencies at vapors aboard vessels, in tunnels, fire, and at industrial plants that are surrounded by hazardous substances which when inhaled could lead to severe health concerns. Since its inception in the year 1949, SCBAs are widely used in sectors like firefighting, nuclear facilities, iron works, chemical plants, oil refineries, marine ships, and others.

There are two main types of SCBA. One is an air-breathing apparatus that supplies compressed air to the wearer from the air cylinder via a pressure reducer, cylinder valve, pressure-demand, and pressure reducer. The exhaled gas goes back into the atmosphere from the exhalation valve. An oxygen breathing apparatus in which the device provides compressed oxygen from the cylinder and the exhaled carbon dioxide is absorbed by the absorption canister while oxygen is resupplied via the breathing bag. This system is used for operations that go on for a longer duration. Since they are a critical part of the wearer’s safety, any SCBA that goes to the commercial market first has to undergo the necessary approval process from regulatory bodies that decide if the device is fit for use. For instance, in the United States, SCBA for firefighting has to be as per guidelines by the National Fire Protection Association
Covid-19 caused major disruptions in the global market cap as many industrial segments reported a shortage of the apparatus since the production of SCBA was heavily impacted and there were issues with the delivery of the manufacturer products because of transport restrictions.
The global self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) market is projected to grow owing to the rising health mandates across industries that deal with hazardous substances like oil & gas refineries, and marine ships transporting toxic substances Various regulatory bodies, both international and regional have placed heavy emphasis on worker security mandating the owners to adhere to the safety protocol created by such bodies. For instance, a cargo ship requires to keep in place at least 2 firefighting outfits while for passenger ships, there have to be at least 4 firefighting outfits. These outfits are complete gear that comes along with SCBA. Additional outfits are required depending on the ship’s design like vertical zones, number of passengers being carried, number of decks, etc. The SCABs are required to be at least 1200 liters and should be capable of functioning for a minimum of 30 minutes. These rules may vary depending on the country or the regulatory body but always aim for workers’ protection.
Exhaustive training required to use the apparatus may restrict the global market growth while growing investment in the firefighting industry is projected to provide growth opportunities. The high cost of purchase and maintenance is projected to challenge the global market expansion.
The global self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) market is segmented based on application, sales channel, type, and region.
Based on application, the global market is divided into firefighting, oil & gas, mining, chemicals & petrochemicals, paints & coating, and others with firefighting leading the segmental revenue. In Australia, there were around 144 thousand volunteer firefighters in 2021, while the government increased spending on the firefighting industry by over AUD 30 million to ensure the availability of resources for firefighters.
Based on the sales channel, the global market is segmented as online, direct, and specialty centers. The highest revenue was witnessed in direct sales as these devices are generally ordered in bulk and from recognized centers only. In marine ships, as per protocol, at least 2 firefighter outfits should be present, with each outfit harnessed with an SCBA of a minimum of 1200 liters.
Based on type, the global market is segmented into closed circuit and open circuit. For longer shifts on oil rigs or rescue operations, open circuit devices are preferred since it is capable of recycling the air continuously. The closed circuit SCBA can last up to 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on the application.
North America will lead the global self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) market owing to the growing emphasis on worker safety and strict protocols in place to make sure companies adhere to these policies. The US is projected to generate the highest revenue during the forecast period owing to the rising investment in the firefighting industry which has been at the top of discussion during the recent election in the country. The growth in the Middle East is propelled by the presence of oil & gas giants and the immense number of people the industry employs resulting in increased investments for their safety. Russia is projected to contribute heavily to global revenue owing to its recent rise in the oil sector.
