Based on the type of end-user, the global environmental health and safety market is segmented as follows:
- Chemical and petrochemical
- Energy & Mining
- Healthcare
- Construction
- Manufacturing
- Others (Retail, Government and Public Sector, Telecommunications and Information Technology, Education, Marine & Aerospace & Defense, Transportation, Agriculture)
With increasing awareness and mishaps or accidents taking place, EHS is playing an important role in the deployment of safety standards and the protection of employees, the public, and the environment. Furthermore, stringent government regulations have made it mandatory for industries such as mining and energy, construction, chemical, and petrochemical to abide by statutes and legal requirements to maintain EHS safety. In 2016, the energy and mining segments occupied a significant share of the overall global EHS market, thus dominating it.
The key drivers of growth are massive investments in oil and gas, petrochemicals, and construction, as well as stringent regulations imposed on these industries by the government and international regulatory authorities to ensure the safety of employees and the environment. Because of progressing industrial growth, developing countries such as India, China, South Africa, and the UAE are increasing their use of EHS management for environmental and human safety. The boom in telecommunications in emerging economies has also led to the growth of the EHS market in these economies.
Based on the type of components, the global environmental health and safety (EHS) market are segmented as follows:
Software
- Data Analytics
- Environmental Compliance
- Quality and Risk Assessment
- Cost Management
- Energy and Carbon Management
- Others
Services
- Analytics
- Project Management
- Implementation
- Consulting
- Training
- Auditing
- Certification
In 2016, in the overall environmental health and safety market, the services segment held the largest share, thus dominating the market. Among the services considered, the auditing service has the largest market share because auditing EHS compliance requires significant capital investment and generates significant revenue. Auditing services are also anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment. With the advent of technology and an increasing rate of adoption of novel software, and demand for an analytical tool for monitoring health and safety issues, the rapid growth of the EHS software segment is expected in the forecast period.
For the purpose of this study, the environmental health and safety (EHS) market is geographically categorized into:
- North America
- Europe
- Asia Pacific
- Latin America (LATAM)
- Middle East and Africa (MEA)
At present, North America and Europe dominate the environmental health and safety (EHS) market. In the regional market, the U.S. occupies the largest share and will continue to dominate throughout the forecast period of 2017–2025, thus increasing the demand for EHS services and software. In industrialized economies such as North America and Europe, stringent implementation of EHS is observed with respect to major end-user industries such as energy and mining, chemical and petrochemical manufacturing, construction, etc.
Thus, rising awareness about the environment and government-strengthened regulation with respect to environmental laws are the driving factors for the growth of the environmental health and safety (EHS) market. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market in the forecast period. In emerging economies such as China, India, the UAE, and South Africa, due to continuous industrial development, there is awareness with respect to the environment, thus encouraging the adoption of EHS regulations due to the fast development of the energy and mining, construction, transportation, and manufacturing industries.
