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.
High demand for firefighting services is the key factor driving the market. There are additional features like advanced firefighting technology that keep firefighters safe and connected. These technologies include navigation systems, sensors, thermal cameras, and voice communications. In order to gain a competitive edge in the market, manufacturers of personal protective equipment for firefighters must ensure that all their products are innovative and can help firefighters to search and rescue operations in the event of a fire.
Moreover, some manufacturers are now integrating traditional equipment with smart sensors and data transmission modules to keep firefighters safe. As a result, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), firefighting suits, and fire helmets are expected to gain traction in the firefighting industry during the forecast period. The demand for smart equipment by firefighters is increasing, mainly owing to the increase in the number of fires, such as wildfires, due to extreme weather conditions. Thus, the global market will grow significantly during the forecast period.
Growing distribution through retail and online channels is the primary trend in the market. Suppliers are focused on increasing the distribution of personal protective equipment through direct sales as well as online and retail channels. Rising online advertising and marketing activities allow market players to give users more access to their products. Online marketing helps these suppliers in various ways such as reducing costs, including distribution, installation, and operating costs, for personal protective equipment.
Moreover, various e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon, IndiaMART, MedicalExpo, and Alibaba, sell in different geographies. Sales of such used by healthcare professionals through retail channels to meet their current needs are expected to fuel the growth opportunities in the personal protective equipment market during the forecast period.
Low employee compliance is the challenge that affects the development of the market. In terms of compliance, safety glasses are the category that creates the most challenges for market players. Different comfort and fit issues between end-users and other users have contributed to low user compliance. In addition, style-conscious wearers can become non-conforming if the design is non-appealing. As a result, lack of comfort and fit and consumer non-compliance remains a major concern for employers, especially in developed regions, due to strict regulations on the safety of workers.
Moreover, employers in these areas can suffer financial losses as well as legal troubles if employees are injured. In contrast, emerging market players face the challenge, as employee safety regulations are often not enforced. Thus, such factors are expected to impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
