Additionally, there are ~340 million occupational accidents and 160 million victims of work-related illness annually across the globe. 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 and comfort to users and help them avoid severe fatalities at the workplace, thereby improving the working efficiency of the workers. The functional workwear provides safety and durability while working across diversified industrial bases. Thus, an increase in industrial accidents and work-related mortality has surged the demand for workwear to ensure the workers' safety, which, in turn, contributes to the growth of workwear market.
