COVID-19 Impact Review:Heat Stress Monitor Market | Know the Challenges & Trends

Posted by Devanshu Shrivastava on November 27th, 2020

Due to the increasing utilization of heat stress monitoring equipment in various sectors, the value of the global heat stress monitor market is predicted to rise from 51.4 million dollar to 62.5 million dollar from 2019 to 2030. Furthermore, the market is predicted to progress at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2020 to 2030. There are mainly two types of heat stress monitoring devices used all over the world—fixed and portable/handheld.

Between these, the usage of the portable/handheld devices was recorded to be higher in the past, because of the dynamic nature of these systems. Besides being very easy to carry across long distances, the handheld heat stress monitoring devices can also monitor heat stress at multiple places, such as underground mines and industrial workplaces. When technology is taken into account, the heat stress monitor market is classified into dry bulb and wet bulb.

Among these, the utilization of the wet bulb-based monitoring devices will increase rapidly in the forthcoming years, according to the forecast of the market research firm, P&S Intelligence. This is attributed to the ability of these devices to monitor several environmental factors such as relative humidity, airflow, and temperature. Till Now, the heat stress monitor market registered the highest growth in North America. This is because of the presence of various mandatory guidelines regarding workplace safety in the region.

These regulations have been enacted by several government organizations such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) during the last few years. These mandatory policies and regulations have made the industries, in which the workers are exposed to heat radiation such as mining and oil & gas, industrial manufacturing, chemical, and petrochemicals, adopt heat stress monitoring equipment.
