The strict implementation of workplace safety standards is notably driving the protective workwear market growth, although factors such as the poor or inadequate implementation of workplace safety norms in developing countries may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the protective workwear industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Protective Workwear Market Driver
The strict implementation of workplace safety standards is one of the key drivers supporting the protective workwear market growth. For instance, workplace casualties in the US have fallen by nearly 65% since the passage of the OSH Act in 1970. The OSHAs routine workplace safety inspections have helped in consistently reducing incidences of workplace safety violations. This indicates organizations in the US are increasingly complying with workplace safety regulations, including fall protection. Moreover, OSHA has also raised the penalty for violation of workplace safety regulations by approximately 90% since 2015. These penalties were increased to keep the cost of violation significantly higher than the cost of compliance, with an aim to encourage organizations to comply with regulations in terms of machine safeguarding. Thus, strict enforcement of regulations and hefty penalties are driving demand for personal protection equipment, including protective workwear, in developed countries. Such increasing demand will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Protective Workwear Market Trend
The introduction of asset tracking and internet of things (IoT) features is another factor supporting the protective workwear market growth. For instance, in November 2015, Honeywell and Intel Corporation (Intel) demonstrated a prototype of the internet of things (IoT) wearable equipment designed for industrial workers and first responders. This connected wearable equipment is fitted with a microcontroller chip that collects data of the worker and surroundings. These data points are then displayed to the concerned manager or person in charge. This permits the maximum supervision of worker health conditions and helps organizations to avoid situations that can put worker safety at risk. Therefore, the development of such innovative personal protective equipment, including protective workwear, is expected to drive the revenue growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Protective Workwear Market Challenge
The poor or inadequate implementation of workplace safety norms in developing countries is one of the factors hindering the protective workwear market growth. For instance, in the US, OSHA recorded 58,702 workplace safety violations. To compound matters, OSHA does not inspect every worksite in the country as it has only 2,100 inspectors to ensure the safety of nearly 130 million workers. The inadequacy of staff personnel indicates that only a very small percentage of workplaces are inspected for such violations. Furthermore, developing countries do not even publish credible data on the number and types of workplace safety violations and accidents. These countries, with relatively weak regulatory frameworks for workplace safety, have a high number of workplace safety violations compared to developed countries. Thus, increasing registration of occupational accidents and the lack of well-defined regulations and enforcement agencies in developing countries are hindering the growth of the global protective workwear market.

The protective workwear market share growth by the chemical segment will be significant during the forecast period. Chemicals are essential raw materials of most manufacturing industries. However, chemical processes pose significant health and safety risks given the mist generated, accidental spills, or splashes during the handling of chemicals. Workers, if exposed to leakages of chemicals, might sustain severe burning of body parts and mild to severe irritation. In some cases, leakage of chemicals might also lead to explosions. Thus, some chemical processes require chemical protective workwear to ensure the protection of industrial workers from accidental exposure. Such requirements are anticipated to drive the segment growth during the forecast period.
