Personal Protective Equipment Market

Personal Protective Equipment Market,
By Product Type, End-use Industry and
Geography - Trends and Forecast to
2025
Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective helmets, clothing, footwear,
goggles, or other equipment that are designed to protect the wearer’s body from
infection or injury. These aid in protecting the body against high volt electric current,
certain chemicals, excessive heat, biohazards, and others. Personal protective
equipment can be used for various purposes such as occupational safety, sports, and
for recreational activities.
Increasing awareness regarding the importance of occupational safety and stringent
regulatory framework related to it are major drivers for growth of the personal protective
equipment market. For instance, the European Union developed directives to improve
safety and health at work and to ensure the quality of PPE is maintained. The directive
covers marketing and manufacturing of personal protective equipment and must comply
with basic safety and health requirements. However, low awareness about the use of
personal protective equipment is anticipated to restrain growth of this market. For
instance, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), 2014,
Nigeria and South Africa reported poor usage of PPE, where only 35.9% of welders in
Nigeria use PPE.

250,000 foot injuries per year, that is an average of one injury every 30 seconds.

segment is expected to account for the largest share in 2016 and is expected to retain
market dominance throughout the forecast period. This includes industries such as
metal, paper, and wood & wood products. Therefore, the type of PPE depends on the

FY12 to FY17. The FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in India has immensely contributed

segment over the forecast period.
North America was the dominant region in the global personal protective equipment
market in 2016, with a revenue of US$ 14.83 billion, and is expected to retain its

increased by 4.5% in 2016 from 2015 in U.S.
Asia Pacific was the fastest growing region in the global personal protective equipment
market in 2016 with a CAGR of 6.63%. Growth is attributed to rapid growth of various
