Chile has an emerging firefighter PPE market that’s increasingly focused on wildland fire protection, particularly following severe wildfires in recent years across Valparaíso and Biobío regions. The country’s centralized fire services are gradually upgrading their gear, prioritizing lightweight, flame-retardant fabrics and ergonomic design. Volunteer brigades, which make up a large portion of Chile's firefighting force, are now included in federal safety initiatives. However, uneven funding distribution and reliance on donations for some departments slow down procurement. Partnerships with international PPE brands are helping to introduce higher-quality gear into the market. Chile is also exploring wearable tech integration for frontline workers, albeit in pilot stages. As climate change continues to intensify fire risk, Chile’s demand for durable, certified PPE will likely grow, marking it as a promising emerging market.
