United States (USA) Personal Protection Equipment Market research report, 2028

Personal protective equipment (PPE) entered the US market in the early 20th century, when the first regulations for occupational safety and health were established. The U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics began recording workplace injury and fatality rates in 1913, and by the 1920s, various PPE products, such as hard hats, safety glasses, and earplugs, were being developed to protect workers from hazards. Later on, PPE production increased significantly as the demand for protective gear for military personnel grew. This led to advances in PPE technology and manufacturing, including the development of synthetic materials such as neoprene and nylon that were more durable and provided better protection. In the 1970s, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) were established, and federal regulations were put in place to protect workers from hazards in the workplace. OSHA's regulations required employers to provide PPE to their employees and to ensure that it was properly maintained and used. Since then, the PPE industry in the US has continued to grow and evolve with advancements in materials, design, and technology. Today, the market for PPE in the US is driven by various industries, including construction, healthcare, manufacturing, and oil and gas, among others. The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly increased the demand for PPE, including face masks, gloves, and other protective equipment, in various sectors. According to the research report "U.S. Personal Protective Equipment Market research report, 2028," published by Actual Market Research, the U.S. personal protective equipment market is projected to reach a market size of more than USD 29117 Million by 2028. There is a growing trend towards environmentally sustainable PPE, with manufacturers developing products that are made from recycled or biodegradable materials. This trend is driven by the increasing focus on sustainability and the need to reduce waste and environmental impact. The use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in PPE training technologies is increasingly being used to provide more effective PPE training, allowing workers to experience hazardous scenarios in a virtual environment. This approach can help improve training outcomes, increase worker safety, and reduce accidents. The healthcare sector is a key market for PPE, and with the ageing population, there is expected to be a continued increase in demand for medical PPE. This includes items such as surgical masks, gowns, gloves, and eye protection, which are used to protect healthcare workers from infectious diseases and other hazards. Nationwide, the safety equipment industry supports 345,001 total jobs and generates economic activity of more than $71 billion. In addition, more than 111 million workers across the U.S. are protected by safety equipment.

Hand protection is an important segment of the personal protective equipment (PPE) market in the US, and it is true that the healthcare industry is a major driver of demand for hand protection products. In healthcare, gloves are used to protect healthcare workers from exposure to infectious agents, chemicals, and other hazards. However, it is worth noting that hand protection is also important in other industries, such as manufacturing, construction, and food processing, where workers are exposed to various hazards, including cuts, punctures, abrasions, and chemical exposures. In these industries, gloves are used to protect workers' hands and prevent injuries and illnesses. Based on the end use industry, this includes the healthcare, manufacturing, construction, oil and gas, firefighting, and food industries. In all, the health care industry dominates the market. In the USA, there are many associations related to personal protective equipment and worker safety. The National Safety Council (NSC) is a non-profit organisation that works to eliminate preventable deaths and injuries in the workplace, on the roads, and in homes and communities. They offer training, resources, and advocacy related to safety, including personal protective equipment. The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) is a global association for safety professionals, with members in over 80 countries.
