High-visibility clothing is widely adopted for directing traffic, investigating crashes, and handling lane closures, obstructed roadways, and disasters. In line with this, the widespread product adoption as an essential gear to provide visibility in low daylight or the dark when illuminated by headlights of vehicles and mechanized equipment is favoring the market growth. Moreover, the rising awareness within the industrial sector about the usage of worker safety products at work sites or in hazardous environments, such as sites with proximity to roadways, dark areas, and construction sites, is acting as another growth-inducing factor.
