Overview:
All clothing, helmets, other garments, and goggles that are used to protect the wearer’s body from injury are referred to as personal protective equipment (PPE). Personal protective equipment is basically used for safety during sports activities, recreational activities, and other activities, ensuring full body protection from airborne particulate, heat, electrical hazards, biohazards, physical hazards, and others. New product development is a key factor driving the demand for PPE equipment across the globe. Other factors fueling the personal protective equipment market’s growth include growing awareness and consciousness for safety in the workplace, government policies and regulations for the safety compliance of workers, and the development of cost-effective products by manufacturers. Also, increasing accidents at the workplace, infection-related issues, especially in the healthcare sector, and improvements in the overall manufacturing and industrial sectors are expected to bolster the personal protective equipment market’s growth in the next five to six years.
North America is anticipated to remain dominant in terms of revenue contribution, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific is further expected to record the highest growth during the forecast period. This is majorly attributed to increased product availability, an improved distribution channel, and rising awareness among consumers. However, tariff barriers coupled with the high cost associated with personal protective equipment manufacturing might hamper the market growth. Personal protective equipment manufacturers are focused on improving the supply chain, emphasizing end-user preferences, and enhancing their geographic reach. In addition, manufacturers are developing products offering better safety, maintenance, and comfort to the wearer.
