A Better Approach To Law Enforcement Personal Protective Equipment and Impact ofPosted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on February 2nd, 2021 The global law enforcement personal protective equipment market size is anticipated to reach USD 5.09 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 9.0% from 2020 to 2027. Increasing focus on ensuring police survivability is expected to boost the law enforcement personal protective equipment (PPE) demand over the coming years. Rapid growth in the efforts made by the governments across the globe for manufacturing lightweight advanced combat helmets is anticipated to have a positive impact on the product demand over the forecast period. In addition, increasing government subsidies and donations to stabilizing law enforcement positions are expected to boost product demand over the coming years. Rising political instability in European countries, such as France and Germany, on account of the economic hardship and unemployment, is anticipated to increase general strikes and riots, thus creating an increased demand for law enforcement officers, which will create opportunities for PPE manufacturers in this region. The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has resulted in augmenting the demand for PPE used by law enforcement agencies, including gloves, coveralls, gowns, surgical masks, respirator masks, face shields, and goggles. However, the limited supply of the aforementioned products has resulted in PPE shortages, thereby disrupting the supply chain. A large number of law enforcement agencies, unions, and membership organizations have put their foot forward to serve and represent the specific needs of police amid COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. As a result, International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) has created a searchable database of COVID-19 resources, which will help to keep a track on the PPE stockpile, along with analyzing the impact of COVID-19 on law enforcement. Law Enforcement Personal Protective Equipment Market Report Highlights
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has resulted in augmenting the demand for PPE used by law enforcement agencies, including gloves, coveralls, gowns, surgical masks, respirator masks, face shields, and goggles. However, the limited supply of the aforementioned products has resulted in PPE shortages, thereby disrupting the supply chain. This, in turn, has resulted in creating opportunities for domestic companies to ramp up their manufacturing capacities. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PPE value chain includes the relaxation of controls by government agencies to ensure uninterrupted supply, increasing production capacities, and controlling the export of PPE. Furthermore, the pandemic's long-term impact involves strategic stockpiling of critical supplies, significant growth in the manufacturing capacities of various players, and an increase in the number of mergers & acquisitions and new entrants. Factors such as the limited capacity expansion of PPE production, lack of raw material supply, labor shortage, and lockdowns have further increased the demand-supply gap of products, such as masks and respirators. Furthermore, shortages in the supply of essential PPE, such as face masks, have worsened due to export bans in countries, such as Indonesia, Thailand, Canada, Malaysia, and China. Have a Query?

For instance, in October 2018, Ansell Healthcare Products, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Ansell Ltd., completed the acquisition of all assets of Digitcare Corporation, a U.S.-based glove supplier to specialty acute markets and the U.S. Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The demand for various PPE products has increased significantly amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, several manufacturers have increased their production capacities to cater to the augmented demand for PPE. For instance, in March 2020, Honeywell International Inc. announced the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities in Phoenix to manufacture N95 face masks for supporting the U.S. government’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Some of the prominent players in the law enforcement personal protective equipment market include:
