Europe Personal Protective Equipment Industry
The personal protective equipment (PPE) industry in Europe will expand tremendously between 2023 and 2030. The region’s need for PPE is probably driven by the rising adherence to safety requirements in a variety of industries and the government’s increasing efforts to tighten safety laws.
Spending on personal protective equipment is anticipated to increase in the upcoming years with the adoption of a new Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work by the European Commission in June 2021. The need for medical gloves, masks, protective apparel, and footwear in the healthcare industry is projected to increase due to the increased prevalence of infectious diseases across European countries, which is being fueled by climate change.
The demand for safety and preventative measures is also expanding as a result of Europe’s growing industrialization and workforce. In the upcoming years, this is projected to increase demand for PPE in order to ensure workers’ safety at work.
While the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the industry, with increased demand from the healthcare sector, the market has returned to normal pre-COVID demand with decreasing patient numbers. However, the market is projected to register healthy growth over the forecast period, owing to steady demand from the industrial and healthcare sectors.
In addition, a collaboration between the European Commission, member states of the EU, and the European Factories of the Future Research Association seeks to facilitate the manufacturing industry.
