by The construction safety nets are a must-have safety gear used in construction projects to protect workers from fall hazards and injuries at construction sites. Construction safety nets act as protective barriers and catch workers or debris that may fall from elevated structures during construction activities. They prevent workers and equipment from sliding or rolling off elevated surfaces. The nets offer cost-effective fall protection and catch debris during dismantling of structures. With rapid urbanization and growing infrastructure development activities across regions, the use of construction safety nets is increasing substantially. New megaprojects in transportation, energy and power, commercial, and residential sectors will propel the demand for safety nets over the coming years. The global Construction Safety Net Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.45 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.9% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Stringent safety regulations – Regulatory bodies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have implemented stringent regulations regarding the use of fall protection equipment at construction sites. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines being imposed on contractors. This has driven greater adoption of safety nets and other fall safety gear for compliance. Furthermore, developers are also focusing more on safety to reduce insurance costs and avoid work stoppages due to accidents.
Technological advancements – Key players are focusing on developing advanced safety nets with improved durability, tear resistance, knotless joints, and versatility of usage. For instance, nets integrated with sensor technologies allow for automatic alerts in case of falls. Such product innovations are boosting the popularity of construction safety nets.
