U.S. Personal Protective Equipment Industry Overview
The U.S. PPE market size was estimated at USD 23.65 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2022 to 2030.
Increasing awareness regarding worker safety on the workshop floor is expected to augment demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) during the forecast period. Demand for PPE in the country increased significantly during COVID-19 owing to its ability to protect the wearer from the virus. Furthermore, restrictions on imports boosted domestic production of PPE. In the U.S., stringent laws such as Families First Coronavirus Response Act were implemented for protecting public health workers and curb the spread of COVID-19.
The government of the U.S. has been actively involved in legislating worker health & safety laws. The U.S. Department of Labor has legislated Mine Safety and Health Act 1977 exclusively for the safety and health of the workers employed in mines. The act is supervised through Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) since its jurisdiction is not covered under Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). These favorable regulations are estimated to drive the U.S. PPE market during the forecast period.
