North America is expected to dominate the global PFDs market during the forecast period owing to the presence of key players in this region and rising demand for personal flotation devices from passenger & aircraft crew and commercial vessel applications.
 Industry Outlook.svg)
Product Definition:
PFDs or Personal Flotation Devices are devices worn by a person to keep them afloat in water. They may be inflatable or non-inflatable and are often made of rubber, foam, cloth or plastic. PFDs are important for safety as they can help prevent drowning.
Buoyancy Aid (Foam Core):
Introduction of new buoyancy aids and growing demand for personal floatation devices (PFDs) are expected to drive the global market growth over the forecast period. The introduction of innovative products such as air-filled PFDs, hybrid PFDs, and others is anticipated to further boost product demand.
Rising consumer awareness regarding safety in water sports has led to an increase in the number of participants taking part in recreational activities like swimming, surfing, boating or fishing.
Life Jacket:
Life jackets are designed to provide flotation and buoyancy to the wearers. They can be used by people of all ages, shapes, sizes and abilities. Life jackets have been around for a long time; however, they were not widely available to consumers until the early 20th century. Before then, their use was limited mostly to boating activities along with some personal watercraft activities in Europe and North America.
Application Insights:
Passenger and aircraft crew application segment led the global market in 2017. This is attributed to a rise in air travel across various regions, including Asia Pacific and Europe. Moreover, an increase in the number of passengers traveling by air has resulted in an increased demand for PFDs globally. The commercial vessel application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising maritime trade across various regions, including Asia Pacific and Latin America. Rising demand for oil & gas transportation from remote locations will boost product demand during this period as they are required while operating on rough seas or deep waters where survival chances are less likely provided by life jackets alone.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of this region can be attributed to various factors such as rise in water-related activities, presence of a large number of manufacturers and suppliers, and increasing awareness among people about personal flotation devices. Moreover, stringent regulations by the U.S.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising disposable income coupled with growing popularity for water sports & fishing activities across countries such as China, India, Thailand, South Korea & Japan).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing awareness about the importance of safety while engaging in water-based activities, which is expected to drive the demand for PFDs over the forecast period.
- Growing popularity of water sports and increasing number of tourists visiting coastal areas are anticipated to boost the growth of PFDs market.
- Stringent safety regulations by government bodies across various countries are projected to propel the demand for PFDs in near future.
- Technological advancements such as development of automatic inflation devices is expected to create new opportunities for growth in global PFDs market over next few years .
