Global Personal Protective Equipment Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028


Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the global personal protective equipment market reached a value of approximately USD 64.9 billion in 2022. Aided by the rising necessity for safety measures in various industries and the growing applications of PP, the market is projected to further grow at a CAGR of 5.70% between 2023 and 2028 to reach a value of USD 90.5 billion by 2028.

Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE, consists of wearable devices or clothing designed to protect users from health or safety hazards. These hazards can be physical, chemical, biological, radiological, or environmental and can be encountered in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and others. PPE includes a wide range of products such as helmets, goggles, masks, gloves, and body suits, among others. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of workers and reducing occupational injuries and illnesses.

One of the main drivers of the global personal protective equipment market growth is the increasing awareness and enforcement of occupational safety regulations. In numerous countries, employers are legally obligated to ensure the safety and health of their employees by providing appropriate PPE. This regulatory pressure is a significant factor propelling the demand for PPE.

In addition, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased the demand for specific types of PPE, such as masks, gloves, and protective clothing. This trend has significantly boosted the market and is expected to continue influencing it in the short term.

The personal protective equipment market development is also driven by technological advancements leading to the development of more effective and comfortable protective equipment. For instance, the incorporation of smart technologies in PPE, such as wearable sensors for monitoring environmental conditions or the physical state of the wearer, is a significant trend shaping the market.

PPE also finds expanding applications in a variety of sectors. For example, in the healthcare sector, PPE is vital to protect healthcare workers from infectious diseases. In the construction and manufacturing sectors, PPE is used to protect workers from various hazards, including falls, electrocution, and exposure to harmful substances, thus boosting the personal protective equipment market expansion.
