The U.S. remains the largest individual market for firefighter PPE, with well-defined federal and state safety mandates. Growing concerns over cancer risks among firefighters have led to a surge in demand for cleanable, PFAS-free protective gear. Federal grants and municipal funding support product adoption, but rising costs of SCBA systems and smart helmets challenge rural departments. The market is seeing rapid integration of AI-driven telemetry, body monitoring, and smart textiles. As one of the most regulated and well-funded regions, the U.S. market continues to invest heavily in PPE upgrades, particularly in urban and wildfire-prone zones.
