PPE Market

Drivers:

The PPE market growth rate is majorly driven by the rising number of infectious diseases across the world. It is especially highly important for the frontline workers who work closely with the infected people. The rising incidences of people suffering from various diseases enhance the need to protect themselves by simply wearing PPE.

• According to the National Institutes of Health, Americans do visit hospitals or clinics suffering from various infectious diseases. The organization believes that more than 90% of infectious diseases can be prevented if proper treatment or vaccine is made across the world.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is made according to the biological agent in the healthcare industry. For instance, the PPE required for Ebola may not be best suited for COVID-19. Therefore, the launch of various pattern equipment according to the biological agent is clearly elevating the growth rate of the market. The rising importance of PPE kits across the world, with the growing support from the government to keep people and healthcare providers safe from various diseases, is escalating the growth rate of the market. In earlier years, WHO provided various technical information for health providers to properly use PPE to avoid the transmission of the disease from one person to another.

During the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of PPE has become mandatory across the world, which greatly influenced the growth rate of the market. Huge support from government authorities for hospitals in rolling out new regulations to protect them from various transmissions is prompting the market’s growth rate.

The prevalence of the development of new vaccines or drugs in laboratories is solely to accelerate the growth rate of the market. It is highly important for research people to follow proper regulations in order to be safe from the biological agents that can easily spread and harm people.

Restraints:

However, the lack of proper knowledge in following the proper rules and regulations is likely to hinder the growth rate of the market. In remote or rural areas, healthcare workers usually lack proper awareness of the use of various PPEs, which may have a high chance of spreading contagious or many other diseases easily on the hospital premises, which is likely to degrade the growth rate of the market. It is highly important to supervise the safety of people by adopting the new and advanced regulations improved by the government organization where inadequate safety supervision generally limits the growth rate of the market during the forecast period.

Another factor impeding the growth rate of the market is that many people face adverse effects like headaches, pressure injuries, itching, and other problems with the prolonged use of PPE. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been highly difficult for frontline workers to wear PPE and manage operations effectively. Many people faced adverse effects due to the continuous use of PPE during this time, which eventually declined the growth rate of the market.
