Personal Protective Equipment Market Trends:

Supportive Regulatory Frameworks

The implementation of stringent standards and guidelines for workplace safety by the government bodies, mandating the usage of specific PPE types in various industrial settings is propelling the personal protective equipment market demand. Moreover, compliance with safety regulations across the manufacturing, healthcare, construction, and oil and gas sectors is also stimulating the market growth. For instance, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that different categories of PPE should meet or be equivalent to standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Furthermore, Optrel, a respiratory protection manufacturer, introduced the P Air Clear, the NIOSH-approved N95 respirator with a clear window. The P Air Clear is a significant advancement for educators, healthcare workers, geriatrics, and the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. It provides the maximum level of protection with the added benefit of a clear window, removing the communication barrier posed by traditional masks.

Continual Technological Advancements

The continuous advancements in material sciences and engineering are bolstering the development of specialized personal protective equipment that is effective and comfortable, which is propelling the market growth. Besides this, the incorporation of innovative and advanced technologies, such as nanotechnology and smart textiles into new designs to offer better protection, improve durability, and enhance user comfort is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. For instance, Health Professional Resources launched a High-Performance Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Line in a Strategic Partnership with MAS Holdings. In addition to this, LG Electronics launched an electronic face mask for the people of South Korea. The mask, called the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier, featured two H13 HEPA filters and a respiratory sensor that automatically adjusts the fan speed based on the user's breathing.

Recent Outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The elevating requirement for PPE across various sectors, owing to the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, is positively influencing the market growth. Moreover, the rising need for respiratory protection equipment, including masks and respirators as well as protective clothing, such as gowns by healthcare providers is also catalyzing the personal protective equipment market share. For instance, Project N95 collaborated with Harvard University's FXB Center for Health and Human Rights to provide 1 million free respirators to local communities. Engaging with 23 community groups in ten states, the partners gave over 500,000 respirators with the support of a significant donation of 500,000 N95s to Project N95 by Lakeland, Florida-based medical device manufacturer Advanced Concept Innovations (ACI). Additionally, wearing face masks became usual and ubiquitous, not only in hospitals but in all public places due to COVID-19, which led to the overconsumption of surgical and N95 masks by the general public.
