Industry Definition and Segmentation

Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is the attire worn to reduce exposure to risks that might result in significant occupational injuries or illnesses. Protection clothes, helmets, goggles, and other garments or equipment are examples of personal protective equipment (PPE). Physical, electrical, chemical, radiological, mechanical, and other work hazards may trigger these injuries and diseases. Gloves, safety glasses, shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard helmets, respirators, coveralls, vests, and full-body suits are personal protection equipment. The Personal Protective Equipment industry report comprises segments by application (Oil & Gas, Construction, Chemical, Healthcare/Pharmaceutical, Food Processing, Mining, Military & Law Enforcement), by product type (Head, Eye, and Face Protection, Respiratory protection, Fall protection, Hand and Arm Protection, Protective clothing, Hearing protection, Foot and Leg protect) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, and South America).

European Region is Driving the Growth of the Industry

Europe holds the largest share in the industry due to the favourable government rules, such as the EU Directive 2016/425. The legislation strives to guarantee that PPE offered on the European market meets quality criteria.

The market is witnessing growth due to the rising awareness about cleanliness to prevent disease transmission in healthcare institutions. The industry is expected to develop as companies become more conscious of the need to safeguard employees from foot injuries caused by chainsaws, electric shock, and metatarsal impact. Furthermore, employees are protected from dangerous gases and vapours, particulates, chemical agents, radioactive particles, and biological pollutants using respiratory protection equipment, which is likely to rise in the petrochemical, mining, cement, construction, coal, fertilisers, and oil & gas sectors, thus resulting in increased demand.

On the other hand, rising automation in end-use industries and the soaring cost of specialised apparel are hampering the further progress of the market.

Best Procurement Practices

The global Personal Protective Equipment industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by major global Personal Protective Equipment regions, such as engagement models, contract terms, and buyer and supplier negotiation levers, among others.

Category Management Studies

This type of PPE covers a wide range of suits and uniforms worn to protect the user from injury. This category would include lab coats used by scientists and ballistic vests worn by law enforcement officers daily. This category also incorporates complete sets of PPE used as a combined outfit. It includes Respirators, Skin Protection, Eye Protection, and Hearing Protection. The various types of equipment are PPE gowns for medical staff, protection from chainsaws, Beekeepers' shirts and pants, diving suits, Bunker gear, self-contained breathing apparatus, a helmet, and safety boots.

Product Innovations Paired with Regulatory Policies are Further Driving the Procurement of Personal Protective Equipment

The industry is propelling due to the ongoing innovations, such as creating lighter and more comfortable industrial protective equipment made of high-quality fabric. In addition, the demand for protective gear that combines safety with better aesthetics and technical innovation is likely to boost market growth. Moreover, Private-label product production is predicted to benefit from greater technical assistance and increased knowledge of product price-performance ratios. Also, the government's growing number of safety standards to decrease accidents and uncertainty in the workplace is likely to impact the market positively.

The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
