Personal Protective Equipment Market Likely to Grow at 7.3% CAGR due to Government Regulations and Mandates at Workplaces

Personal protective equipment (PPE) includes equipment that protects various parts of the body. Some of the common personal protection devices are eye, head, and face protection gear, protective clothing, hearing protection, hand protection, professional footwear, and respiratory protection gears. These are worn by users to protect themselves from hazards at home or workplaces.

Industries such as chemicals, manufacturing, construction, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, transportation, and food and beverages are some of the diverse areas of application of PPE. Other end-use industries across emerging regions are agriculture, service stations, government, the unorganized sector, and small-scale manufacturing utilities. Besides workplaces, personal protective equipment is also used in sports and other recreational activities to minimize the risk to personal health and safety.

The choice of personal protective equipment depends on what the user is exposed to, and the intensity and duration of the exposure. The equipment also comes with safety symbols that indicate the safety levels of the equipment. All these factors make PPE suitable for use in industrial and commercial spaces. Due to these factors, the market is expected to reach US$55,509.1 million by 2020, from a market value of US$33,952.5 million in 2013, growing at a positive 7.3% CAGR between 2014 and 2020, states leading market intelligence company Transparency Market Research.
