Companies have been expanding their market presence through various strategic developments such as product launches and technological innovations. In January 2022, Kimberly-Clark, a US-based manufacturer, launched Kimtech Opal Nitrile Gloves. The gloves provide increased comfort during prolonged wear and strong tactile sensitivity. The powder-free gloves were made without vulcanization accelerators, added sulfur, or natural rubber latex, and they protect the application by lowering the risk of Type I and Type IV glove-associated skin disorders. These gloves were also claimed to have Low Derma Technology, a proprietary skin-protection function.
Wearable technology is becoming popular in the construction industry worldwide as it helps improve safety by monitoring construction workers' vital signs—such as heart rate and body temperature—and providing alerts of potential hazards. Construction gear has sensors that can sense and alert workers during gas leaks, excessive heat, and sound pollution. Hence, construction teams can address issues rapidly. Exoskeletons are wearable machines that enable construction workers to distribute their weight evenly and provide lift support. Thus, it reduces employees' risk of long-term injuries. Thus, the rising focus of key market players to launch innovative and more effective products is boosting the industrial personal protective equipment market.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Industrial Personal Protective Equipment Market
Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for industrial PPE was high in various industrial sectors in the region. However, industries faced unprecedented challenges during the pandemic in 2020. Moreover, manufacturers faced significant challenges in producing and distributing industrial PPE due to supply chain constraints caused by nationwide lockdowns, trade bans, and travel restrictions, eventually leading to price hikes. These factors showed a negative impact on global industrial personal protective equipment market growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, temporary halts in operations or operations with a limited workforce in most industries hampered the demand for industrial PPE. The pandemic triggered innovations in fabric with antiviral properties for medical protective clothing. For instance, in June 2020, Ascend Performance Material—a US-based manufacturer—launched “Acteev technology,” which can destroy bacteria and viruses like SARS CoV-2. This technology is used in textile and nonwoven fabrics to eliminate viral infections.
In 2021, various economies resumed their operations as governments of countries in North America announced relaxation in the previously imposed restrictions, which bolstered the global industrial personal protective equipment market growth. Moreover, manufacturers were permitted to operate at full capacity, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gap. Also, as all the industries resumed work at full capacity, the demand for industrial PPE increased at the workplace in order to ensure employee safety. All these factors have positively influenced the growth of the global industrial personal protective equipment market.
