Rising demand for emerging economies is anticipated lucrative opportunities for the growth of the industrial workwear market. Emerging economies are experiencing development in various sectors, including automotive, manufacturing, and chemicals. The automotive industry is one of the largest industries in the world, and it is growing in emerging economies, such as China, India, and Brazil. The growth in the region is attributed to the rising foreign direct investments, growing passenger car demand, and increasing preference for electric vehicles to reduce emissions. The increasing development in various industrial sectors of emerging economies has propelled the need to maintain the safety of workers while working. Thus, rapid development in industrial sectors of emerging economies is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the industrial workwear market during the forecast period.
Based on type, the topwear segment has the largest revenue. Top wear products mainly include shirts, t-shirts, jackets, and vests. They are often made of cotton, silk, wool, polyester, polyamide, nylon, and acrylic fibres. The growth of the corporate sector propels the demand for top wear as internal policies allow an employer to set dress codes that the employees are required to follow. Growing industrial sectors, such as construction, oil & gas, chemicals, automotive, mining, and manufacturing, and rising awareness regarding workers’ safety in these sectors bolster the growth of the industrial workwear market for the top wear segment.
North America accounted for the largest share of the global industrial workwear market. An increase in cases of occupational injuries and a rise in the number of surgeries and occupational deaths have led to high demand for safety apparel and an increase in expenditure on work safety by end-use industries such as oil & gas, food processors, manufacturing, automotive, mining, and agriculture. In addition, stringent government regulations in the region regarding the safety of working professionals in factories and on-site workers, coupled with penalties for non-compliance with the standards, augmented the adoption of industrial workwear. The rise in demand for industrial workwear, mainly from oil & gas, chemical, construction, mining, and other industries, is fueling the market growth in the region. Workers across these industries are exposed to various risks owing to the nature of the job or task. Therefore, these industries require functional and high-performance protective workwear which can endure extremities at the workplace.
Based on the application, the oil and gas segment is projected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The oil & gas industry workers often face the risk of fire and explosion due to the ignition of flammable vapors or gases. Hence, companies demand flame-resistant and insulated industrial workwear to protect workers from fire and explosion-related injuries. Moreover, industrial workwear manufacturers are continuously adopting new business expansion strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, and collaboration to meet the workers’ demand globally. On February 8, 2022, Tyndale USA expanded its services in Canada to cater to the demand for fire-resistance top wear and bottom wear from Canada-based oil & gas companies. Such strategic adoption by players is driving the demand for industrial workwear in the oil & gas industry.
An increase in the number of industrial accidents driving the global industrial workwear market. Owing to the increasing number of industrial accidents, employers are adopting several standards defined by national and international organizations to ensure the well-being and safety of their employees at the workplace. Industrial workwear is designed to provide protection, durability, and comfort to employees while working across diversified industrial bases and helps them avoid severe casualties at the workplace, thereby improving the working efficiency of the workers. Thus, an increase in industrial accidents and work-related mortality propel the demand for industrial workwear to ensure the workers’ safety, which, in turn, drives the market growth. Over the past, successive major accidents in the chemical industry have caused deaths, numerous injuries, significant environmental pollution, and massive economic loss. According to the Environmental Ministry, the number of deaths in the chemical industry has reduced by nearly 41% from 2015 to 2018, while the number of injured has significantly gone up. The increased number of accidents in the industry has raised concerns regarding workers’ safety and resulted in the implementation of stringent regulations for their safety.
