According to a market analysis report prepared by Grand View Research Inc., the global environmental health and safety market is expected to reach $96.18 billion (USD) by 2025. The increasing number of regulations imposed by environmental protection and governmental agencies worldwide is expected to be one of the major factors driving demand during the forecast period.
The market analysis report breaks down the environmental health and safety market down by product (Software, Services), by Application (Medical & Pharmaceutical Waste Management, Industrial Waste Management, Waste Water Management), by end use, and segment forecasts.
Economic slowdown in several parts of the globe has led to significant corporate restructuring, plant closures, and mothballing. These business decisions are, however, made taking into consideration the various environmental challenges posed by these decisions. There is an increasing need for minimizing environmental liabilities and eliminating long-term risks, especially when it comes to the customer experience from their products. In fact, in order to help control that strategy (as people discuss on https://www.qualtrics.com/experience-management/customer/design-customer-experience-strategy/), many firms have been putting increased focus on the ecological and environmental issues that they may encounter.
These factors have led several agencies and governmental organizations to impose stringent compliance requirements across industries, with regards to ecological conservation, and safety and health of personnel. This trend is mainly being witnessed in the North American region, followed by Asia Pacific.
There are various safety hazards in core industries such as energy & mining, construction, etc., which pose several challenges in the form of ecological contamination, injuries to personnel, and personnel deaths – those who sustain injuries on construction sites may want to look into the proper channels for acquiring construction accident compensation to help them get back on their feet. The oil & gas industry, globally, is faced with hazards such as explosions, fires, vehicle accidents, and caught-in or caught-between accidents caused by moving equipment, high-pressure lines, and falling equipment. That is why it is very important for GPR Scanning technology to be used during construction and other industrial essential needs so that workers can be assured of their safety if they have to go underground. There are so many industries where workers should be wearing more safety gear than they currently are. Whilst some things are inevitable, some workers could really benefit from wearing things like safety glasses to protect their eyes from some of these safety concerns. Whilst this will only protect their eyes, it is a step in the right direction. Hopefully, some of these workers will start taking their safety more seriously soon.
As a result of the aforementioned factors, companies across core industries such as chemicals, petrochemicals, energy & mining, construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and telecommunications are being increasingly pressurized to comply with the various regulations put forth by governmental agencies to ensure environmental and worker health and safety.
Further key findings from the report suggest
