‘Protective clothing market worth US$13.3bn by 2022’

PPE

The global industrial protective clothing market is expected to be worth US$13.3bn by 2022, according to a new report

Published by Grand View Research, Inc., the report said that rising concern towards worker’s health and safety across a wide range of end-use industries including oil and gas, chemical and manufacturing is expected to remain a key driving factor for global industrial protective clothing market over next seven years. Favourable regulatory scenario to minimise occupational hazards across various regional markets is also expected to have a positive influence on the sector’s growth.

Increasing spending on construction in the Middle East and Asia Pacific is anticipated to be a significant driver for increasing demand for industrial protective clothing. The high price of key raw materials like aramid and carbon fibre is expected to remain a significant challenge for market participants.

Durable protective clothing was the largest product segment in 2014, with demand share exceeding 55 per cent during the year. It is also the segment which is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. At the same time, the high cost of durable products, along with increasing safety concerns in low hazard potential work environments, has led to the emergence of disposable protective apparels.

The report also states that chemical defending garments was the largest application segment, accounting for more than 30 per cent of total market volume in 2014. Flame retardant clothing is anticipated to witness growth of over 14 per cent in the next seven years.
