The global market for ESD safe matting is expected to be worth US$ 101.72 million in 2022, rising to US$ 147.71 million by 2032. During the forecast period of 2022-2032, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8 percent. The increasing use of ESD-Safe Mat in industries such as tables, benches, monitors, and floors is propelling the global ESD-safe mat market forward.
Personnel and equipment are protected from static electrical discharges by ESD matting. These are typically used in workplaces where static electricity can accumulate and provide an easy path to the ground. If an ESD mat is not used, static discharges can endanger workers and the workplace. To protect items and employees from undetected static discharge damage, antistatic gloves, clothing, footwear, flooring, antistatic tools, packages, and grounding straps can be used in conjunction with ESD mats. This has been a major growth driver for the global ESD safe matting market.
ESD safe matting comes in a variety of sizes. Table mats and bench mats are smaller mats that help employees find small parts or tools, whereas floor mats are wider and thicker. Because they can withstand the wear and tear of daily foot traffic, these floor mats are becoming increasingly popular in workplaces and buildings. Demand is expected to rise as a result of such factors in the coming years.
The ESD safe matting market is expected to expand in response to increased demand from the end-use industry and the increased need for self-protection at workstations. It minimizes electrostatic discharge as much as possible. It is also appropriate for industries where static electricity can cause damage to equipment and workers.
The growing popularity of new and innovative flooring solutions such as marble, laminate, wooden, and parquet floors has increased the use of floor mats to reduce electrostatic collisions and damage, thereby driving the market growth. Furthermore, further commercial sector expansion, such as hospitality, hospitals, fitness facilities, institutions, and shopping malls, is expected to increase market penetration in the coming years.
Furthermore, due to its widespread acceptance by end-users for a variety of applications, the demand for entry mats has increased dramatically. In recent years, the global market has been driven by the growing popularity of walk-off entrance mats in both the residential and commercial sectors. To ensure superior indoor air quality, entrance matting acts as the first line of defense against dirt entering the facility.
Manufacturers can easily customize the size and style of mats, as well as add additional functions to meet the needs of customers. With all these advancements, the global market of ESD mats is going to grow rapidly during the assessment period.
Key players in the global ESD safe matting include ACL Staticide Inc., RS Pro, Shanghai Jiafu New Material Technology, Superior Manufacturing Group, Hozan, Bertech, Achilles Industrial Materials, Hakko, Ranco Industries, Zhejiang CONCO AntiStatic, SDM Technologies, COBA Europe, Henyer Rubber, Desco (SCS) and Cleanse.
