Saudi Arabia Personal Protective Equipment Market

Saudi Arabia Personal Protective Equipment Market is Poised to Reach US$444.2 mn
in 2021
In a somewhat consolidated market for personal protective equipment in Saudi Arabia,
where the top three companies accounted for over half the share in the overall market in
2014, competition is intense. The key players, namely Honeywell International, 3M
Corporation, and MSA Safety, compete on the basis of the range of product offerings. They
also bank on brand recall to bolster their sales – something that gives them an edge over
smaller local companies.
However, local vendors steal a march over prominent ones with cheaper products in the
Saudi Arabia personal protective equipment. This has served to dent the shares of big
players, who thereby have had to scale back their research and development budgets to cut
costs.
A report by Transparency Market Research finds that the Saudi Arabia personal protective
equipment market will rise at a steady 7.0% CAGR during the period between 2015 and
2021. Expanding at this rate, the market which was worth US$318.7 mn in 2016 will likely
become worth US$444.2 mn in 2021.
The different types of products available in the Saudi Arabia market for personal protective
equipment are hearing protection, eye and face protection, head protection, protective
clothing, disposable respirator, respiratory protection, professional footwear, re-usable
respirator, hand protection, fall protection, etc. Of these, the segment of professional
footwear held the maximum market share of 25.0% in 2014 on the back of solid demand
from the oil and gas sector.
Region-wise, the key segments of the Saudi Arabia market for personal protective
equipment are Eastern Province, Western Province, Central Province, and others. Among
them, the Eastern Province accounts for maximum demand due to the presence of numerous
boroughs in the regions. By 2021-end, the Eastern Province is slated to generate about
US$233.6 mn in revenue.
Workers’ Accidents Result in Pushing up Demand
Workers accidents in Saudi Arabia in the past has been primarily pushing up demand for
personal protective equipment in the region. This is because the casualties resulting from
such accidents has forced the authorities to impose strict safety rules for industrial entities.

construction, oil and gas, chemicals, food, healthcare, etc. At the forefront of driving
demand in the market, however, is the oil and gas industry in the region.

Automation Posing Challenge to Market
One factor that is expected to prove detrimental to the Saudi Arabia market for personal
protective equipment, on the other hand, is the rising automation. Large scale automation of
various production processes is gradually bringing down the size of labor force and this will
negatively affect the demand for personal protective equipment.
The market for personal protective equipment in Saudi Arabia is also being deterred by the
presence of numerous local manufacturers producing cheap safety products. This has forced
the big players to reduce their prices, which in turn is squeezing their profits.
In order to overcome such challenges, manufacturers of personal protective equipment can
look to the more attractive markets Northern and Southern provinces of Saudi Arabia where
industrialization is progressing at a rapid pace. “Both regions are witnessing impressive
industrial growth and are comparatively untapped,” explains the lead analyst of the TMR
report.
