Demand for Asia Pacific And Middle East Personal Protective Equipment and ImpactPosted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on December 24th, 2020 The Asia Pacific & Middle East personal protective equipment market size is expected to reach USD 17.55 billion by 2022, expanding at a CAGR of 7.8%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Conventions regarding worker health & safety issues and practices such as total quality management (TQM) are expected to fuel PPE demand making it mandatory for industries to comply with rules regarding employee safety at the workplace. Additionally, regulatory agencies in Middle East and Asia Pacific have been enforcing stringent regulations on employers to adopt PPE in order to ensure employee safety on account of rising hazards. The shortage in supply of raw materials from Chinese manufacturers has resulted in a severe demand-supply gap. The manufacturers are further expected to be stranded on raw material orders owing to the logistics industry being significantly impacted due to lockdown amid COVID-19. However, the producers are expected to move away from China aiming to reduce the future risks that would affect the business and to reduce the manufacturers' cluster in a single country in order to smoothen the supply chain. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor. Protective footwear is anticipated to be the fastest growing product segment with revenue share estimated to exceed 20% by 2022. Increasing workplace fatalities in developing economies is anticipated to surge product demand in the near future. Growing construction industry in India, UAE, Saudi Arabia and China is also expected to drive the market over the forecast period. The Asia Pacific and Middle East are anticipated to experience high growth over the forecast period on account of increasing construction and infrastructure projects, thereby creating immense opportunity for the need for personal protection of the employees. Rapid industrialization in developing economies such as those in South-East Asia is expected to impact positively skilled labor requirements, which in turn are anticipated to augment personal protective equipment (PPE) demand in the near future. The Asia Pacific and Middle East personal protective equipment market size was estimated at USD 10.38 billion in 2016 and is expected to register a CAGR of 7.8% over the forecast period. Increasing awareness towards employee health and safety at workplaces, coupled with favorable government regulations pertaining to employee safety is anticipated to drive industry growth over the forecast period. Further key findings from the report suggest:
Increasing investments in construction projects and automobile parts assembling are expected to drive industrial growth in China over the forecast period. In addition, rising technological advancements in textile machinery and electronic manufacturing are expected to drive the industrial sector further. Rapid growth in the industrial sector, coupled with the increasing penetration of PPE in the industries is anticipated to complement market growth in China. Safety regulations by the government of China in the form of China Occupational Health Law, China Workplace Safety Law, and Standards in Chapter 6 (Occupational Safety and Health) of China Labor Law are likely to impact the PPE market growth positively. Furthermore, regulatory agencies in the Asia Pacific and Middle East are enforcing stringent norms on employers to make it compulsory to ensure workers’ safety on account of increasing hazards in these regions. Accidents involve loss of life, work disturbance, costs, reimbursement to family, legal issues, and infrastructure damages; therefore, industry participants have augmented workers’ safety. The growing number of the blue-collar workforce across various production-centric industries and R&D establishments is anticipated to fuel PPE demand over the forecast period. Technological innovation, coupled with changing consumer need for personal protective equipment that combines safety with fashion and attractiveness, is further estimated to augment market expansion in Asia Pacific and Middle East regions. However, unavailability of precise numerical safety equipment data for personal protection from industries acts as a major challenge for market participants. Have a Query?
