Overview of the global PPE market for the oil and gas industry
As per the Technavio’s market research report, the global PPE market for the oil and gas industry is expected to grow at steady rate and post a CAGR of close to 8% during the forecast period. The rising enforcement of occupational safety regulations will drive the growth prospects for the global personal protective equipment (PPE) market for the oil and gas industry until the end of 2021. The market is witnessing a high rate of adoption of PPE equipment due to the growing number of occupational injuries and fatalities and stringent workplace regulations by the government. For instance, Occupational Safety and Health Act for laborers was introduced by the US government in 1970 to ensure the provision of a safe and healthy work environment. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides a portal for the worker's safety, covers both the private and public sector employers, and addresses any employee grievances, which will fuel the demand for personal protective equipment in the oil and gas industry.

The provision of smart features in PPE will drive the growth prospects for the global PPE market for the oil and gas industry for the next four years. Since smart solutions in PPE provide timely backups of worker data, monitor the tasks carried out by the workers, and ensure worker protection, the coming years will witness a growing trend for equipping PPE with sensors and other wireless technologies such as Bluetooth.
