by A rescue pole, also known as an agricultural rescue pole, is a telescopic and retractable pole installed on tractors and other farm equipment. It aids in rescuing a person trapped or pinned underneath heavy machinery or an overturned vehicle. Rescue poles allow operators to lift or stabilize heavy objects and are commonly used to free limbs, legs, or the entire body of a victim trapped in dangerous situations. They provide leverage by allowing pinned objects to be lifted or repositioned, reducing trapped pressure points. The global rescue pole market comprises manufacturers and suppliers of rescue poles for agricultural and construction equipment.
The global rescue pole market is estimated to be valued at US$ 12.64 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
Growing Focus on Farm Safety and Health: The focus on farm safety and health has increased substantially driven by rising agricultural mechanization. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), over 550 farmers and agricultural workers die each year from work-related injuries in the United States alone. Most of these deaths involve tractors overturning or workers being pinned or crushed by heavy equipment. The adoption of rescue poles for tractors and harvesters has emerged as an effective solution to minimize such accidents, allowing operators to lift heavy objects quickly in emergency situations. This growing focus on farm safety and health is expected to boost demand for rescue poles over the forecast period.
Opportunity for Technological Advancements: Many leading players are investing in research and development activities to develop technologically advanced rescue poles with features such as remote-controlled operation and built-in sensors for detecting pin-point locations. This presents an opportunity for manufacturers to introduce innovative rescue pole solutions integrated with the latest technologies, helping rescue workers in more efficient handling of emergency situations.
Segment Analysis
The global rescue pole market is dominated by the fire rescue segment. This segment accounted for over 70% share in 2022 owing to increasing adoption of rescue poles by fire departments across regions for efficient rescue operations during fire accidents. The fire rescue segment is followed by the industrial rescue segment which dominates due to safety regulations mandating use of rescue equipment in industries such as oil & gas, mining, and construction.
