Asia Pacific Industrial PPE Market Drivers and Opportunities

Supportive Government Regulations for Workplace Safety

Many industries, such as construction, mining, oil & gas, automotive, and chemical, record numerous work-related deaths and injuries annually. According to The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates, 2.3 million women and men worldwide surrender to work-related accidents or diseases every year, causing over 6,000 deaths every day. Worldwide, approximately 340 million occupational accidents and 160 million victims of work-related illness occur annually. Industrial accidents are one of the major concerns across application industries as they can lead to severe consequences on human health. According to the International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology data published in April 2021, annually, 60% of fatal accidents are recorded in the building & construction industry worldwide, with one death in every ten minutes due to an occupational casualty. The automotive industry also reports considerably high injury rates. Regulations pertaining to industrial PPE in various Asian countries demonstrate diverse approaches tailored to each nation's industrial landscape and safety priorities. China has established specific standards and regulations for different types of PPE, including respirators, protective clothing for medical use, and daily protective masks, outlining requirements for manufacturing, testing, and usage. For instance, GB 2626 covers respirators, GB 19082 addresses protective clothing for medical use, and GB/T 32610 outlines standards for daily protective masks. Also, Japan's Industrial Safety and Health Act places responsibility on employers to provide appropriate PPE following risk assessments, with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) detailing performance requirements for various gear such as helmets, shoes, goggles, and respiratory protection.

Rising Adoption of E-Commerce Sales Channel

The organized global retail sector distribution network has undergone a massive transformation recently. The rise in penetration of smartphones and the internet, easy access to emerging technologies, upsurge in purchasing power, and convenience provided by online retail shopping platforms from anywhere at any time are among the major factors bolstering the adoption of e-commerce worldwide. Manufacturers operating in the industry are constantly partnering with online retailers such as Amazon and Alibaba to deliver personal protective equipment and other bulk industrial products to industries as well as individual consumers. The increasing penetration of online shopping has encouraged manufacturers to sell products directly-to-customer (D2C) by launching their online retail sites, eliminating the need to invest in expensive marketing and distribution infrastructure. Through these websites, manufacturers take bulk orders from end-use industries and sell products to customers. Thus, the consumers' increasing dependency on e-commerce services and the adoption of the D2C strategy by manufacturers are expected to open lucrative opportunities for the industrial personal protective equipment (PPE) market in the coming years.

The scope of the Asia Pacific industrial PPE market is further divided into China, Japan, Australia, India, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. India is expected to record the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. The emerging end-use industries such as metal, oil & gas, textiles, and construction propel the demand for industrial PPE and other protective gears in the country. Rapid industrialization has also led to a rise in occupational injuries, accidents, and deaths of workers in India. The Directorate General, Factory Advice and Labour Institutes (DGFASLI), in January 2023, stated that 1,109 deaths and more than 4,000 injury cases have been recorded since 2020 in registered factories. These accidents have been witnessed in chemical plants, coal mines, steel factories, and boiler blasts in power stations. These accidents have shown that system failures—such as industrial operations discontinued with an improper shutdown, poor planning, and failure to ensure adequate maintenance and inspection—lead to accidents. All these factors have surged the need to implement occupational risk assessment standards in the country. Therefore, the rising demand to implement practical occupational safety standards is anticipated to increase the need for industrial personal protective equipment (PPE) across India in the coming years.
