Personal Protective Equipment [PPE] Market Overview

The main purpose of personal protective equipment is to safeguard the user against health and safety risks at work. PPE is a crucial component of worker safety in an emergency and during recovery. Trends in the Personal Protective Equipment PPE market will be influenced by the increased focus on worker safety in the oil and gas, mining, construction, and manufacturing sectors. The market offers all safety equipment that shields users from dangers at work. Employers are primarily looking for PPE gear for their employees since it saves them money on employee compensation, medical bills, and lost production time. Personal Protective Equipment PPE market size is anticipated to increase as a result of strict regulatory mandates from organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which have made it mandatory for workers to ensure safe equipment usage in accident-prone areas.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic is quickly engulfing nations and regions, profoundly affecting the supply chain at every level. The PPE market’s supply chain has been unable to keep up with the soaring demand. Additionally, supply and logistical issues have received attention, including prohibiting exports of the items and other essential resources. Asia Pacific and the rest of the globe are being impacted by the unexpected abrupt supply interruptions in the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.), a key producer of personal protective equipment in the global trade market and the first country to be afflicted by the coronavirus epidemic.

Market Drivers

The market is supported by rising industrial fatalities as well as rising worker safety and health awareness. The market comprises emergency escape tools, full-body harnesses, earplugs, goggles, protective gloves, safety footwear, outerwear, and helmets. Workers are now required to wear personal protective equipment to safeguard people from workplace risks or fatality rates that are on the rise. Conducting a hazard assessment at the well site, training employees about the risks involved with gauging tanks, using respiratory protection such as Self-contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), and establishing emergency medical response during the event, NIOSH has recommended ways to reduce the risk of such fatalities. To encourage the right use of the product, OSHA has developed occupational health and safety rules in the United States.

Restraints

The COVID-19 epidemic is to blame for the unexpected increase in demand for face masks. The WHO predicts that the epidemic will cease when around 70% of people worldwide have received vaccinations. The transmission of novel viral variations and the length of time the immune system can protect immunization or recovery from infection are two important factors that are predicted to impact how the pandemic develops substantially. The global regulations requiring face masks, face shields, P.P.E. kits, and other equipment are anticipated to be withdrawn after the COVID-19 epidemic. As a result, the demand for personal protective equipment may fall dramatically, which would limit the market’s potential for future growth.

Personal Protective Equipment [PPE] Market: Segmentation

The global personal protective equipment [PPE] market has been segmented into product and end-use.

  • Based on the product, the market is classified into head protection, eye protection, face protection, hearing protection, protective clothing (heat & flame protection, chemical defending, clean room clothing, mechanical protective clothing, limited general use, others), respiratory protection (air-purifying respirator, supplied-air respirators), protective footwear (leather, rubber, PVC, polyurethane, others), fall protection (soft goods, hard goods, others), hand protection (disposable, durable) and others. The largest market share belonged to the head protection category in 2021.  Having head protection is essential for ensuring job safety. Professionals, including linemen, welders, plumbers, and carpenters, must wear head protection. The simplest technique to shield a worker from head injuries is to have them wear a safety helmet or hard hat. Hard hats or protective helmets are worn to deflect blows and prevent piercing by objects. Workers wear hard hats or industrial safety helmets to guard against flying items and materials falling from heights. Lowering electrical shocks also provides safety when working close to exposed electrical lines.
  • The manufacturing, construction, automotive, oil & gas, healthcare, chemical, food, transportation, and other end-use industries make up most of the market. The healthcare sector was expected to hold a significant portion of the market in 2021. Due to the increasing need for hand protection, respiratory protection, and protective apparel in the healthcare sector, the end-user segment led the personal protective equipment market. It accounted for the greatest revenue share of 33.7% in 2021. Worldwide demand for protective clothing, particularly coveralls, and gowns, has increased due to the coronavirus’s rapid spread.

Personal Protective Equipment [PPE] Market: Regional Landscape

  • In 2022, North America dominated the market. Due to highly developed end-use industries and widespread product acceptance in the healthcare industry, North America led the personal protective equipment market and held the most significant revenue share. Due to the stringent regulatory environment and harsh penalties for non-compliance, which encourage businesses to utilize P.P.E. often, the U.S. has a high product penetration rate.
  • Asia Pacific is anticipated to occur as the fastest-growing regional market at a CAGR of 7.5% over the forecast years on account of considerable economic expansion and industrialization across Asia Pacific. Several factors such as huge compensation costs along with advancing workforce fatalities encourage employers to use PPE in various end-use industries.
  • In Europe, the bulk of the core industries such as metal manufacturing, automotive, oil and gas, and refining are driving the need for personal protective equipment. An increasing number of injuries at work coupled with rising demand for high wear and tear products in the province is promoting the use of personal protective equipment and fueling the PPE market growth.
