Protective Clothing Market - Forecast(2021 - 2026)
Protective Clothing Market size is forecast to reach $13.21 billion by 2025, after growing at a CAGR of 6.70% during 2020-2025. Increasing the demand for industrial clothing, such as growing concern for the health of workers coupled with strict government regulations and the strict labor laws have forced industrial producers in North America and Europe to strictly obey the standards and guidelines established by government organizations to prevent any type of occupational hazard. Increasing working population across North America, Europe and APAC is expected to have a positive impact on the growth due to the rapid growth of the manufacturing sector in these regions.
Key Takeaways:
- Increasing usage of protective clothing in medical sector for preventing transmission of viruses such as COVID-19, Ebola and infection controls.
- Growing trend for multi-functional durable clothing with high chemical and mechanical resistance is expected to drive growth of protective clothing.
- In addition to growing incidents of manual accidents in the workplace, rising demand for respiratory equipment for mining, emergency relief, military, law-enforcement facilities, health care and fire services is expected to drive market growth in the coming years.
- To increase awareness of health and safety, the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has teamed up with various health and safety organizations, through the Workplace Innovator Award program, to create new ideas and solutions. Agencies in collaboration with market players are expected to encourage these measures to strengthen safety standards, which acts a driving for protective clothing market in coming years.
Material Type - Segment Analysis
Aramid and Blends material type segment has been the primary market for Protective Clothing for many years at a CAGR of 8.66%. Aramid fibers are typically used in flame resistant clothing, body armor, hot air filtration fabrics, sail cloth and among others. However, aramid fibers have an inherently poor resistance to ultraviolet light. Thus, fabrics made from aramid fibers change in color when exposed to ultraviolet light. Aramid fibers are widely used in the manufacture of protective clothing owning to its properties such as heat resistance, high tensile strength, resistance to abrasion, and resistance to chemical oils and organic solvents.
Application - Segment Analysis
Thermal application has been the primary market for Protective Clothing for many years at a CAGR of 13.20%. Protection from fire and extreme heat and the need to work around fire and heat, has created the need for thermal protective clothing. Thermal protective clothing are required to protect those working in primary metal industries with molten metal, and similar areas involving high heats such as welding, foundries, manufacturing, and construction. There are various regulations such as NFPA1971, ASTM 2701-08, ISO 17492, CGSB, ASTM F955-07 and others, that governs thermal protective clothing that allow useful thermal protection as well as high levels of chemical resistance, usually an outer garment of thermally resistant material worn over the chemical suit.
End-Use Industry - Segment Analysis
Manufacturing & Construction sector has been the primary market for Protective Clothing for many years at a CAGR of 7.80%. Manufacturing & construction industry involves vigorous activities that are often prone to accidents, risks and maybe hazard to the lives of the workers. Therefore, it is necessary, for each worker to wear adequate and suitable protective clothing that protects against possible hazards due to weather changes, electricity impacts, and other risks. Wearing a reflected vest is necessary for site engineers to maintain visibility while conducting site inspections and other site activities. Protective clothing used in manufacturing and construction industry includes gloves and high visibility clothing. However, the manufacturing & construction industries are being significantly affected due to the COVID-19 epidemic, as most of the countries have issued “stay at home guidance” i.e., lockdown. This factor is limiting protective clothing market growth.
Geography - Segment Analysis
North America dominated the Protective Clothing Market share with more than 35.4%, followed by Europe and APAC. The growth of end-use industries such as construction, oil & gas, manufacturing, and healthcare has led to ample growth opportunities in North America protective clothing market. This is much evident in the augmented import of goods from the parent industry, which indicates a perceptible demand for protective clothing.
According to the Government of Canada, the country’s construction industry employs 1.2 million men and women. Moreover, the industry breached $14.8 million as of April 2019, according to the latest findings by the government. Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC) stated that, the Canadian provinces with the most accidents in the construction industry, in 2017, with 951 workplace fatalities recorded in Canada, an increase of 46% from the previous year. Hence to avoid such accidents more care is to be taken by the employers by providing the employees with necessary protective clothing and equipment’s.
