AbstractREPORT HIGHLIGHTS
- The U.S. market for advanced protective clothing, armor, respirators and protective gloves now is valued at about $2.3 billion per year and is expected to increase to more than $3.35 billion by 2010, rising at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 7.9%.
- Armor, body and vehicular, is a $356 million-a-year industry at present that is expected to increase to $628 million by 2010, at an AAGR of 12%.
- The advanced fire protective garments market is valued at $429 million and should reach $606 million by 2010. Structural/proximity firefighters protective clothing is more than half the value of this sector.
- Chemical/biological exposure protection is valued at $340 million and is expected to increase at an AAGR of 8% through 2010, while ancillary gear is valued at more than $1.2 billion and expected to reach slightly over $1.6 billion by 2010.
SCOPE OF STUDY
The report contains:
Detailed examinations of protective clothing and equipment in the categories of body and vehicular armor, heat and flame-resistant clothing, chemical protective garments and equipment, and respirators for fire and chemical/biological situations Analysis of their varied distinctive purposes, components, composition and standards, the entities that use them, the conditions under which they are used and the manufacturers of both components and the final products Analysis of current and future market growth and trends within that sector with forecasts to 2010 Discussion of players in each industry, including government organizations that create and enforce regulations and standards, raw material suppliers, fiber manufacturers, mills and fabric producers, armor and finished goods manufacturers, and suppliers and distributors.
METHODOLOGY
The material researched and presented in this report is based on information gathered from personal contacts within government agencies, individuals involved in materials and manufacturing, industry consultants, and to some degree, on the authors' personal experience.
Additional data was obtained from reviews of secondary sources, such as trade publications, trade-associated company literature, government documents, and patents. This was done in an effort to supplement the application, market, and trend data gathered from primary sources. All monetary projections presented in this report are reported in constant U.S. dollars.
