Fact.MR, in its latest research report, offers insights on key factors expected to fuel demand for abort gates over the next ten years.

The report details how the market is expected to expand across 20+ high-growth countries through 2030, along with information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected market growth across regions.

Why Do Future Projections Look Brighter than Past Trends?

From 2015 to 2019, the global abort gate market exhibited a CAGR of 5.8%. High investments in food processing, woodworking, metal, mining, and several other industries is amongst the key stimulants driving the said growth.

Stringent government regulations are expected to induce the use of abort gates in these industries on a larger scale over the coming years.

Owing to these broad factors, demand for abort gates is likely to increase steadily, expanding at a CAGR of 7.5% throughout the 2020-2030 assessment period.

What Role will End-use Industries Play in Escalating Demand for Abort Gates?

The foremost reason behind fire accidents in industries is industrial dust, which comes from materials, chemicals, or ingredients used in production processes related to flour, sugar, and pharmaceuticals.

This dust can also be the by-product of manufacturing operations such as cutting, drilling, grinding, or sawing.

These organic and metallic dust particles from wood, food, metal, coal, paper, plastic, textile, and many others are inflammable, whose rising presence in the atmosphere has increased the threat of fire in industries.

To overcome the risk of explosion, companies install dust collector systems, which again require adequate safety measures.

Among numerous such dust management and safety measures, such as explosion isolation valves, sprinkler systems, etc., abort gate systems have witnessed significant market demand in recent years.

For instance, in present times, the market for processed food has risen significantly in many parts of the world.

Even organic food, which is in trend in multiple countries, is processed in some way, and these food processing industries have also witnessed a high number of fire incidents.

Therefore, with the rising food processing industry, demand for abort gates is expected to grow over the coming years.

What Impact do Governments Regulations Have on Abort Gates?

For handling combustible dust in general, there are numerous safety standards issued by many organizations, including the one issued by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Organizations are issuing standards specifically for handling food and agricultural dust. Recently, NFPA 652, the Standard on the Fundamentals of Combustible Dust, announced new recommendations applicable to all dust handling industries.

Also, from September 2020, it is required for all industries having dust in their facilities to perform a dust hazard analysis, which is documented and verified by OSHA. To meet such government safety standards, demand for abort gates among manufacturers keeps on rising, especially in the United States.

In the lockdown period of CoVID-19, incidents of such industrial accidents have increased, which incidentally forced governments to implement strong safety regulations.

With a rising manufacturing sector in regions such as South Asia and the Middle East & Africa, demand for abort gates across these regions is expected to grow over the coming years.

The key reason behind such anticipation is governments’ commitment to expand the industrial sector in these regions to settle growing unemployment.

To safeguard the safety of labours, governments around the world are introducing various regulations for industries to follow, which will benefit manufacturers of abort gates.

What are the Key Challenges for Abort Gate Manufacturers?

Numerous alternatives for abort gate are available in global market, such as backdraft dampers, spark arrestors, explosion diverters, etc. Due to their lower price, some of these substitute equipment have gained huge popularity in South Asia and ASEAN countries.

The key reason behind slow expansion of the abort gate market is the well-established passive fire protection system and industrial explosion system market.

However, by the end of 2030, from both, active as well as passive device categories, more customers are expected to shift towards abort gates. The markets from which customers are expected to shift include flameless venting, explosion venting, flame front diverters, and chemical suppression.

The necessity of periodical examination of machines, endorsed by governments and organizations, is also posing a significant challenge to abort gate manufacturers. Due to capital constraints, small industries usually prefer not to install such low primacy systems.

Therefore, demand for abort gates among small and middle enterprises is quite low as compared to big manufacturing companies across the globe.

Also, handling materials and heavy machinery, especially those that involve moving objects and hazardous equipment, requires an executioner with proper training.

Administrators who operate specific equipment are required to be trained to identify irregularities at the initial phase, such as strange sounds or smell, exposed wires, vibrations, leaks, smoke, abnormal wobbling, irregular grinding, or other potentially hazardous signs.

Those with small revenue streams may not prefer to invest in abort gates, as this further require training of personnel along with regular maintenance.
