Heat Stress Monitor Market by Product Type (Fix & Portable and Handheld), Application (Athletics & Sports, Military, Oil & Gas and Mining, and Manufacturing Plants), Offering, Life Form, WBGT Technology, Sensor Type, and Region - Global Forecast to 2023
The Heat Stress Monitor Market was valued at USD 43.3 Million in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 60.9 Million by 2023, at a higher CAGR of 7.07% between 2018 and 2023.
By application, the athletics and sports market for is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period
Athletic training and sports activities can cause exertional heat-related illness (EHRI). EHRI comprises several states that afflict physically active persons while exercising during heat stress. Also, many EHRI cases are preventable by following heat acclimatization guidelines, using heat monitors, maintaining adequate hydration, avoiding exertion in the heat when ill, and by educating sports medicine personnel, coaches, parents, and athletes on the early recognition and prevention of EHRI. Thus, heat stress monitor is playing a crucial role in athletics safety and helps avoid heat stress–related issues in athletics.
By product, the handheld HSM sector is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period
The market for handheld type heat stress monitors was valued at USD 11.1 million in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 15.8 million by 2023, at a higher CAGR of 5.84% between 2018 and 2023. These devices are simple to use, compact, and rugged and provide quick and accurate readings by evaluating personal health conditions. Major application areas for this product are athletics, manufacturing plants, and military among others. Companies offering handheld heat stress monitors are Nielsen-Kellerman (US), Extech Instruments (US), Besantek (Canada), Sper Scientific (US), PCE instruments (Germany), General Tools & Instruments (US) and REED Instruments (US) among others.
Americas to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
The Americas is among the important markets for heat stress monitors. The mandatory safety standards developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Group have forced various industries to use heat stress monitors at their workplace. Also, the health monitoring in military, athletics, and sports applications contributes to the heat stress monitor market in this region.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing adoption of heat stress monitoring in athletics and military applications
Heat stress is one of the risk factors associated with long-term health problems. Compact and portable health stress monitors are used for athletics and military applications. Increasing health consciousness among people drives the demand for health stress monitors in form of portable and wearable devices. These devices are widely being used for training and monitoring activities and personal health goals. Soldiers generally operate in extreme environmental conditions. So, heat stress monitors are one of the necessary devices for soldiers. The military sector is a major driver for the growth of the heat stress monitor market as these devices provide real-time monitoring of soldiers’ health in a training ground or field, alarming the soldiers about the heat stress limits.
Restraint: Lack of strict enforcement across industries in emerging economies
The industrial sector in developing countries in Asia Pacific (APAC) and Africa is unorganized. Presently, in these regions, heat stress monitors are being adopted in developed countries, such as Australia, South Korea, and Japan, where governments have strict regulations and standards for different industries. Governments in developing countries such as India, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Africa, and Egypt require necessary standardizations in various industrial sectors to monitor heat stress levels. However, slow standardization of industrial regulations regarding safety is a major restraint, as employers still use conventional methods such as manual environmental testing and others. The impact of this restraint is high at present; however, in future, the impact is expected to subside as various governments worldwide are expected to come up with more standardizations and regulations to reduce the risk at workplaces.
Opportunity: Integration of AI heat stress monitor
Heat stress monitors plays a critical role in analyzing the fitness of workers, athletes, and military persons. The advancement of AI is expected to affect the heat stress monitor market. Prediction modeling based on AI techniques creates a prediction profile or an algorithm that is trained using end-user data. The model can then be deployed for the risk analysis of end users. Predictive analytics does help identify workers, athletes, and others at-risk due to excessive heat and advise them to take necessary preventive measures to avoid heat related risks. Fujitsu (Japan) developed an AI algorithm to monitor heat stress levels of workers. Thus, with the growing safety concerns for the workers around the world, it is expected that AI-based heat stress monitor will be able to give solutions based on the heat stress monitor–displayed data. Since, at present, it is very difficult to understand and requires professionals and specialized consultants for the interpretation of data to suggest the required safety measures.
Challenge: Lack of trained professionals for heat stress monitoring
According to the United States Department of Labor (USDA), employment in dairy farms is projected to decrease by 6% during 2014–2024. Similarly, according to a report of the working group on Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India 2011, in India, only 34,500 veterinarians are employed for field services against the requirement of 67,000. With a decrease in the number of dairy farms and an increase in herd size globally, dairy farmers are now increasingly opting for technologically advanced livestock monitoring products over traditional tools for managing large dairy herds. Livestock monitoring products find applications in almost all functional aspects of modern dairy farms, such as animal comfort, calf management, feeding management, heat stress management, milk harvesting, and reproduction management. These applications and processes require trained professionals who can understand heat stress monitoring systems efficiently. Also, in manufacturing industries, trained professionals are needed to understand and analyze the output of heat stress monitors, which is a challenge for this market.
