As per the protective fabrics market analysis, the demand for protective fabrics in the oil and gas sector is significantly increasing. Oil and gas professionals who work in a high-risk environment are exposed to the threat of explosion, toxic or corrosive chemicals, and fire, among others.
Stringent standards such as ANSI, ASTM, AATCC, OSHA, FAR 25.853 or MVSS 302, and Mil-Spec in the oil and gas sector are also aiding the market growth. Activities performed in this sector are considered ATEX zones, which implies that oil and gas workplaces have hazardous and explosive atmospheres due to the presence of flammable gases or combustible dust. These risks are covered through protective fabrics that are multi-standard and possess excellent mechanical performance.
North America represents a significant portion of the protective fabrics market share as the United States is one of the largest producers of oil and gas. The oil and gas sector workers perform operations in ATEX zones that are characterised as highly explosive areas which may generate electric arcs. As a result, the use of fireproof and anti-static fabrics is of paramount importance.
Further, the US chemical sector constitutes agricultural chemicals, basic chemicals, speciality chemicals, and consumer products. The country heavily exports chemicals, which increases the demand for PPE (personal protection equipment) manufactured out of multi-protective fabrics that exhibit great mechanical performance.
