The global personal protective equipment market is expected
to reach USD 68.69 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View
Research, Inc. Rising awareness towards worker health and safety along with
increasing industrial fatalities in rising economies of India, Vietnam, and
China owing to lack of protective gear is anticipated to drive the global
market over the forecast period.
Technological
innovation, coupled with shifting consumer preference towards protective
equipment which combines fashion with safety is further estimated to drive
market expansion. Executive management in industrial firms has been becoming
proactive regarding employee health & safety. The stringent regulatory
framework in economies such as the U.S. and the UK has been forcing companies
to follow strict safety norms to avoid occupational hazards.
Safety
gloves dominated the global PPE demand accounting for over 23% of total revenue
in 2015. According to OSHA, over 40% of the industrial fatalities and accidents
are related to hand injuries. An increasing number of hand cuts, arm injuries,
and abrasions in the workplace may be attributed to the high demand of this
segment.
Hand
protection products such as durable & disposable gloves find application in
industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, construction, and
chemicals, to safeguard the risk of hand injuries in the shop floor. Rising
instances of hand injuries including severe abrasions, punctures, chemical
& thermal burns, and cuts at the workplace are expected to fuel product
demand in near future.
