Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the risk of physical injuries to women in labor-intensive industries. Some of the labor-intensive industries associated with certain risks include automotive, construction, manufacturing, chemicals, and food processing. These injuries can be impact-related injuries like abrasion cuts, slicing cuts, and impact cuts as well as injuries to the hand including cuts and chemical burns, leading to lacerations or even amputation.
Therefore, such injuries can lead to emergency room visits and days away from work and subsequently result in expensive compensation claims from women workers. Additionally, the cost of treatment can differ depending on the degree of injuries. For example, stitches may cost USD 2,000- USD 2,500 in the US, whereas a laceration can cost above USD 10,000. Hence, such factors are expected to increase the demand for personal protective equipment which, in turn, will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the personal protective equipment (PPE) market growth for women is the focus on integrating anti-microbial technology. There is an increasing focus by several food establishments to prevent contamination of their food products. As a result, several market players in food service disposable gloves are launching new and advanced features that can address the needs of food service establishments globally.
For example, the launch of anti-microbial disposable gloves by several prominent market players helps to minimize the transfer of microbes from gloves to food items and, in turn, supports the prolonged shelf life of the gloves. The main feature of these gloves is they contain a photosensitizer-active ingredient that generates singlet oxygen and is specifically designed with a microbe-killing mechanism. Thus, it is expected to positively impact the women's personal protective equipment (PPE) market. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Fluctuating prices of raw materials are one of the key challenges hindering the personal protective equipment (PPE) market growth for women. One of the main raw materials which are used for manufacturing PPE for women is latex. Latex is commonly derived from natural and synthetic rubber. Additionally, synthetic latex is manufactured by processing rubber, whereas natural latex is directly available in nature.
Furthermore, the main reason for the price volatility of synthetic latex is due to the disparities in the demand for and supply of rubber. Additionally, the price of rubber which is used for making synthetic latex which in turn is used in the manufacturing of PPE for women is highly volatile. Thus, these fluctuations in raw material prices are increasing the production cost and thereby significantly impacting the profit margin which in turn will negatively impact the women personal protective equipment (PPE) market. Hence, such factors are expected to hinder market growth during the forecast period.
