• Cordless Wrist Strap: Cordless wrist straps are another comfortable solution on the market that uses wireless interfaces to ensure ESD safety, free of the cord limitations. These straps provide greater freedom of movement and are perfect for people whose job requires a lot of motion. Such designs as cordless are a new wave in the industry, as most manufacturers offer more unique designs that meet the consumer needs while at the same time offering an effective means for ESD protection.

BY APPLICATION

Based on Application, the global market can be categorized into Electronics & Petrochemical

• Electronics: The largest application area of anti-static wrist straps is the electronics area since these devices are used to protect the sensitive components from the effects of static electricity during manufacturing and assembling. They are often used in semiconductor production, circuit board assembly, and electronic equipment repair as the protection of the equipment. Thus, the rise in the consumer electronics industry and new technological developments remain a key to growing in this market segment.
• Petrochemical: Within the sector of petrochemicals, many industries use anti-static wrist straps in their working processes to eliminate the possibilities of an electrostatic discharge in areas where flammable materials are used. These straps also guarantee that workers and their productive tools, including the equipment to be used in petrochemicals’ processing and transportation, are protected from possible mishaps. Accompanied by increasing safety requirements, ESD protection in the petrochemical industry is likely to have more demand and market growth.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.                          

DRIVING FACTOR

"Global electronic manufacturing growth boosts static wrist strap market demand"

A growing electronic manufacturing industry around the world and especially in regions such as Asia-Pacific has led to increased use of anti-static wrist straps. As more semiconductors, consumer electronics, and IT hardware production is delivered, electrostatic discharge protection has become important. This also makes the use of wrist straps mandatory in order to avoid expensive losses related to delicate parts.

"Enhanced safety standards drive static wrist strap market growth compliance"

Recent enhanced safety standards for working environments indicate rising concerns about ESD protection for individuals touching sensitive electronic parts. Anti-static wrist straps also minimize the chances of an organization being non-compliant with safety standards and damaging the equipment. Thus, the need for these wrist straps is increasing due to compliance with safety measures in many industries ranging from manufacturing to information technology thus resulting Anti-static Wrist Strap Market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Alternative ESD solutions threaten static wrist strap market growth potential"

One of the major threats for the anti-static wrist strap market is the rise in the use of other kinds of ESD protection accessories, including ESD-safe floors and mats. These alternatives decrease the use of the separate wrist strap, as it provides wider, free-hand coverage. If corporations require greater unification in the arrangement of the ESD management systems, the usage of aerated wrist straps may decrease.

OPPORTUNITY

"High-end electronics adoption enhances strap market growth"

One area of growth opportunity for the anti-static wrist strap market is the increasing adoption of high-end electronics in other growing technologies like electric vehicles (EVs), 5G technology, and wearables. Growing these industries means greater use of ESD protection and hence a sure market for anti-static wrist straps.
