The high possibility of lone work hazards is notably driving market growth. The nature of every lone-working role is different. Some work is inherently more dangerous. Some work environments are static, while others are constantly changing (i.e., inspection sites, mobile patient visits, and construction sites). The main difference between lone workers and other workers is that, in the event of an injury or illness, such workers would not have anyone to help. The lone worker might not be able to contact for assistance if they are severely hurt. This raises the possibility of serious consequences or possibly death. In addition to the inherent hazard of working alone, some common lone worker hazards include slipping, tripping, falling, experiencing physical violence, and others.
For instance, in December 2023, a blast in the Indian Oil Corp. plant caused the death of a few workers. Thus, such inherent hazards add to the adoption of lone-worker safety solutions. Deploying a security solution equips lone workers to deal with unexpected circumstances. In case of an emergency, such workers need an effective way to call for and receive assistance. Innovative solutions offer quick and easy threat activation, automated periodic check-ins, and overtime alerts. Thus, the high possibility of lone work hazards will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Growing focus on lone worker safety smartphone applications is an emerging trend shaping market growth. Lone worker safety apps offer a continuous monitoring team to organizations' lone workers, ensuring their safety and well-being while they are out in the field. For instance, Alert Media's lone worker solution is an innovative mobile application specifically designed for those working in potentially unsafe environments. The application gives the user two options for signaling for assistance: performing a timed monitoring session and pushing the panic button. Such a solution from Peoplesafe includes an Android and iPhone smartphone app. Installing the software on employees' phones is simple, and it functions instantly.
Moreover, the worker will respond to time-based check-ins by having their present position tracked. Throughout their shift, the automatic alarm will check on them, and additional security features such as man down, high-risk check-ins, and staff messaging can keep them safe. Thus, the increasing focus on lone worker safety smartphone applications will positively impact the market during the forecast period.
Poor or inadequate implementation of workplace safety norms in developing or underdeveloped countries is a significant challenge hindering marke growth. Most developing and underdeveloped countries are characterized by a poor track record in terms of workplace security regulations and their implementation. Unlike agencies such as the OSHA in the US and the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) in the UK, which frame regulations, ensure their strict implementation, and take punitive action against security violations at the workplace, such regulations in developing and underdeveloped countries are not enforced stringently.
Furthermore, developing countries do not even publish credible data on the number and types of workplace safety violations and accidents. These countries, with relatively weak regulatory frameworks for workplace security, have a high number of workplace protection violations compared with developed countries. China, India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are characterized by rapid industrialization, where worker fatality rates are high. This indicates the low adoption of machine-safeguarding solutions. Increasing registration of occupational accidents and the lack of well-defined regulations and enforcement agencies in developing countries will hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the devices segment will be significant during the forecast period. Lone worker safety devices aid workers in remote areas by alerting their coworkers when they need assistance. The majority of safety equipment comes with an integrated alarm that workers can set off if they sense their personal security is at risk. These dangers might come from workplace mishaps or other difficult circumstances.

The devices segment was the largest and was valued at USD 195.89 million in 2018. With the use of satellite equipment, remote workers can communicate, in both directions, to confirm their protection to coworkers or managers, request help, or send out an SOS in an emergency. Location-tracking features can also be added to satellite devices to find workers who might be injured or lost and unable to communicate where they are. Companies such as AlertGPS offer solutions such as security wearable devices and mobile apps, which are available for smartphones and tablets, combined with a cloud-based alerting platform, proactively monitoring and enabling rapid communications and emergency response to workers who are injured or threatened. These devices help workers to deal with unexpected situations while working. It also helps employers to deal with protection practices and procedures. Thus, such product offerings by the vendors will drive the growth of the segment and the market during the forecast period.
Lone working in the construction industry puts workers in very dangerous positions. Workers are frequently exposed to heights, falling objects, confined spaces, slips, trips, and much more. Construction workers require a lone worker safety solution that ensures they have continuous security monitoring, automated check-ins, and precise GPS locations in case of emergency. There is a considerable demand for thermal and chemical lone worker security solutions in welding operations performed at construction sites, road construction, or chemical applications on buildings for protection against water or infection. Most large construction projects, such as infrastructure projects and the construction of multi-story buildings, follow globally accepted standards of workplace security. Thus, growing investments in large-scale construction projects lead to an increase in demand. This, in turn, will drive the growth of the segment and the market during the forecast period.

Technavio's analysts have provided extensive insight into the market forecast, detailing the regional market trends and drivers influencing the market's trajectory throughout the forecast period. European businesses are increasingly embracing such solutions in response to stringent government regulations ensuring worker protection. The UK's Health and Safety Executive emphasizes the evaluation and management of risks for lone workers, requiring employers to address potential hazards before allowing employees to work alone. The recommended solution involves regular supervisor visits, consistent communication via phone, radio, or email, emergency alarm devices, and verification of a lone worker's return after completing tasks. This heightened focus on lone worker security, driven by regulatory measures, is expected to boost the demand for safety solutions in regions like the UK.
In addition, the North Sea, a vital region for offshore oil and gas, holds over 300 fields and numerous drilling projects. The International Energy Agency anticipates increased demand for lone-worker safety solutions due to upcoming offshore Exploration and Production (E&P) projects in the North Sea.
