Pandemic boosted the demand and production of medical protective equipment, increasing the medical protective equipment overall market during the forecast period (2022-2027).

Moreover, another key factor is to avoid infection and contamination by maintaing proper hygiene which is also responsible for the growth of medical protective equipment market, equipments such as surgical gloves, gowns, medical cap acts as a protective barrier to prevent the transmission of infections between healthcare professional and patients during the treatment or diagnosis. Therefore, the requirement of protective eqipments are rising continuously which will drive the medical protective equipment overall market growth.

However, growing concern about disposal of medical protective equipment and lack of comfort while using the equipment can slow down the medical protective equipment market growth.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the medical protective equipment market. Surge in COVID-19 cases across the globe generated the huge demand of medical protective equipment such as masks, gloves, face shields, respirators, medical caps, gowns & others to protect healthcare and frontline workers which are always on high risk of getting infected as well as general public also. Severe shortage of medical protective equipment was reported due to its high demand globally. However, with masses being vaccinated, people are still taking precautions by using these medical protective equipment & there are still chances of surge in pandemics cases such as COVID-19. Thus, medical protective equipment market is expected to further grow during the forecast period (2022-2027).

Moreover, these new innovations in the face protective equipment surge the demand of equipment, thereby driving the growth of the overall medical protective equipment market during the forecast period from 2022-2027.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Medical Protective Equipment Market:

Among all the regions, North America is estimated to dominate the global medical protective equipment market in the year 2021 and is expected to do the same during the forecast period from 2022-2027. Factors such as increasing prevalence of pandemic such as COVID-19 and rising incidence rates of epidemic such as flu increases the demand of medical protective equipment in the North America market.

For instance, according to the data published WHO in 2022, 81, 178,013 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 990,599 deaths have been reported in the United States (US). Canada reports 3,794,896 confirmed COVID cases and 39,788 deaths. Mexico reports 5,745,652 confirmed COVID cases and 324,000 deaths. Therefore, to reduce the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths related to it, medical protective equipment such as masks, gloves, face shield, PPE kits are used which provide protection against the disease and prevent further transmission. Therefore, increase in the use of such equipment will drive the growth of medical protective equipment market in the region.

Further, according to CDC January 2022, data states that from 2010-2020 in the US, flu has resulted illness in 9-41 million people, 140,000-710,000 hospitalizations and 12,000-52,000 deaths were reported annually.
