Personal protective equipment (PPE) helps in protection from injuries and infections. It also aids in protection from several hazards including electrical, chemicals, airborne particulate matter, physical, heat, and biohazards. Personal protective equipment includes gloves, coat, helmet, goggle, and any other protecting clothing designed to forbid the contact of an on-site worker with any hazardous element.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) has suggested numerous governments and personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturers double their production and prioritizing their orders to countries with a high demand supply gap.

Various countries implemented stringent acts due to the Covid-19 pandemic, such as the Families First Coronavirus Response Act by the U.S. for protecting public health workers, providing paid leaves, establishing free testing, and important benefits to children and families, in 2020 to control the spread.

The companies in Asian countries which are operating in textile market have shifted their clothing manufacturing plants to personal protective equipment manufacturing plants after the outbreak of the COVID-19 to reduce the demand-supply gap. China is the largest exporter of personal protective equipment, such as goggles, masks, gloves, and gowns.

The lack of awareness among the consumers about workplace hazards along with the sale of substandard, inexpensive, and low-grade products is projected to hamper the market growth for personal protective equipment. Besides this, the threat from inferior quality, duplicate, and substitute products may also hinder the growth in the forecast period.

Positive directives and guidelines issued by WHO and FDA regarding product manufacturing, processing, packaging, and handling should upsurge the personal protective equipment market value in pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, increasing research and development to develop vaccines and medicines in the pharmaceutical sector will expect to drive personal protective equipment demand.
