3.8 Million Workers by 2030
Are organizations doing enough to protect lone workers? Berg Insight suggests adoption of connected safety solutions is growing steadily, but still far from universal.
Around 2.5 million lone workers across Europe, North American, and Australia and New Zealand were using connected safety solutions by the end of 2025. That number reflects consistent growth yet also highlights how early the market remains. The market is projected to grow to roughly 3.8 million users by 2030. Europe alone is expected to grow from 1.4 million users in 2025 to more than 2.2 million by 2030.
Perhaps one of the more interesting takeaways from this research is lone worker safety is evolving into a core people-centric IoT (Internet of Things) use case, blending compliance and connectivity.
Why is this shift occurring? The data points to several key drivers:
- Regulatory pressure and compliance requirements
- Rising awareness of lone worker risks and liability
- Advances in IoT, mobile apps, and realtime monitoring capabilities
While adoption continues to rise, the path to greater, more widespread adoption will depend on reliability, usability, and the ability to respond effectively when incidents occur. #Factoftheweek
