Market Insights and Analyst View:

Industrial personal protective equipment (PPE) include products used for personal safety at workplaces and heavy industries, including oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, chemicals, mining, and pharmaceuticals. Industrial PPE comprise products such as protective footwear, hand and arm protection equipment, head and face protection equipment, fall protection equipment, and hearing protection aids. The rising awareness of personal safety in heavy industries where workers are exposed to various industrial hazards and accidents is driving the growth of the industrial PPE market.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Global government agencies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Federal Highway Administration, have specific standards for wearing high-visibility clothing, primarily for highway construction. These agencies commonly refer to industry consensus standards issued by the International Safety Equipment Association and the American National Standards Institute. This is known as the ANSI/ISEA 107 Standard or American National Standard for High Visibility Safety Apparel and Headwear. Similarly, in Europe, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) and the European Network of Safety and Health Professional Organization (ENSHPO) establish mandates on the requirements for the design, manufacture, and distribution of PPE intended for use in the work environment and impose other occupational safety standards in industries such as construction, healthcare, oil & gas, automotive, and manufacturing. These organizations have also set regulations that place responsibilities on manufacturers to ensure that the PPE intended for use in the workplace are properly tested. They also ensure that the equipment carry the CE marking and meet essential health and safety requirements before they are placed in the European market. Further, according to "The Respiratory Protection Standard," 29 CFR 1910.134 of OSHA, it is mandatory for employees to have a complete respiratory program. Workers wearing respiratory protection must participate in a written respiratory program and follow OSHA's guidelines. Thus, supportive government regulations related to occupational safety are driving the global industrial PPE market growth.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost all industries in various countries. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the chemicals & materials industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies witnessed delays in product deliveries and a slump in sales of their products in 2020. The industrial PPE market witnessed similar impacts of the pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for industrial PPE from a few industries—including the healthcare industry and frontline personnel—increased. Items such as N95 respirators, face shields, and medical gloves saw a substantial increase in demand, creating a favorable impact on the industrial PPE market to a certain extent. Additionally, the demand for industrial PPE, such as gloves, masks, and antiviral protective jackets, increased in research laboratories involved in the development of vaccines for different SARS-CoV-2 variants. With an abrupt rise in demand, the global industrial PPE key industry participants ramped up their production capacities. Moreover, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, covering the nose and mouth was mandatory. N95 respirators were preferred for controlling the spread of the disease. Thus, the demand for such products surged during the pandemic. Further, with the increasing cases of COVID-19 across the region, the demand for PPE increased across pharmaceutical industries and biomedical research laboratories.

In 2021, various economies resumed operations as several governments announced relaxation in the previously imposed restrictions, which positively impacted the global marketplace. Moreover, manufacturers were permitted to operate at full capacity, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gap.
