Road traffic injuries can cause substantial economic losses to people, their families, and nations. This can be attributed to the rising costs of medical care and the loss of productivity of affected individuals. Road accidents can cost nations nearly 3% of their annual GDP. Every year, nearly 1.19 million lives are lost to road accidents, while 20-50 million people suffer from serious injuries. Over 90% of all road traffic fatalities happen in middle and low-income countries, with Africa accounting for the highest share of such incidents. People aged 18-59 years are at most at risk of suffering a road crash accident, while such incidents are a leading cause of death among people aged between 5 and 29 years worldwide. Every 1% growth in mean vehicle speed raises the risk of suffering a fatal crash by 4%. Moreover, as per the World Health Organisation, men are at a significantly higher risk of suffering from road accidents as compared to females. This is expected to drive the demand for safety helmets for both two-wheelers and three-wheelers to safeguard more lives and reduce the risk of fatalities in preventable road accidents over the forecast period.
The development of emergency alert systems; advancements in noise-cancellation technology; the rising popularity of solar-powered charging; and the growing adoption of environment-adaptive visors are aiding the global helmet market expansion
Emergency alert systems, including SOS buttons and fall detection features, enable smart helmets to send critical information to emergency service providers and predefined contacts in case of an accident. This reduces the risk of loss of life for the rider.
Smart helmets equipped with noise-cancellation technology enable riders to hear audio alerts and in-helmet notifications over the noise of the wind and road, thereby reducing auditory fatigue and enhancing the overall experience of the journey.
The use of solar energy for charging helmets is a forward-thinking strategy that aligns with the growing shift towards eco-friendly technological practices. It is extremely appealing for environmentally conscious riders who undertake long-distance tours and may face challenging situations on-road for charging.
Environment adaptive visors play a crucial role in maintaining the rider’s clear view of the road. It automatically adjusts its tint based on surrounding lighting conditions, thereby ensuring optimal visibility all the time. This enhances the driver’s safety and overall experience, especially during rainy or foggy weather conditions.
Arai’s XD-5 helmet is integrated with a modern sun visor mechanism, which provides a wider field of view to the rider. It features an adjustable peak, which can reduce vibrations and wind resistance. It is made from strong and lightweight materials such as carbon fibre and fibreglass and features improved ventilation capabilities that prevent fogging. It has a versatile design, which makes it suitable for use in various conditions.
