PPE is used to ensure the safety of workers in hazardous work environments. It is deployed in a wide range of industries such as machine shop, construction, and healthcare to protect the wearer from potentially hazardous elements like airborne flying particles, fire, and biological hazards such as pathogens. The global market for these products is expected to be driven primarily by an increasing demand from Asia-Pacific (APAC), where international companies are pioneering stringent safety programs in their countries of operation.Developed countries in APAC region such as Japan, Australia, and New Zealand have a set of well-defined government regulations that mandate worker safety, which contribute to the market growth in APAC. In some countries in APAC such as India, the government does not have well-defined regulations that ensure worker safety. So, the market for safety equipment is underpenetrated in India.However, the growing adoption of safety regulations in developing countries in the region such as India and China will drive the market growth. Moreover, the consumption of PPE is will also be fueled by industrial growth in these countries.Technavio forecasts the PPE market in India to grow at a CAGR of 13.01% in 2015-2020.
