North America Personal Protective Equipment Market Growth & Trends:
The North America personal protective equipment market size is anticipated to reach USD 39.36 billion by 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market has seen significant growth, driven by rising demand in various industries, evolving regulatory standards, and heightened awareness about worker safety.
In the United States, stringent Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations play a significant role in the adoption of personal protective equipment (PPE) across workplaces. OSHA mandates that employers must provide adequate protective equipment to safeguard workers against workplace hazards, creating a steady demand for PPE in sectors such as manufacturing, mining, and construction. Similarly, Canada's Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) enforces regulations that require employers to ensure workplace safety through adequate protective measures.
The healthcare sector remains one of the largest consumers of PPE in North America, particularly in light of the recent pandemic, which heightened the need for high-quality protective equipment. Hospitals and healthcare facilities continue to require substantial quantities of disposable gloves, gowns, masks, and face shields to protect healthcare workers and patients. This demand is further supported by the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases and healthcare-associated infections, driving continuous consumption of PPE in healthcare settings.
In addition, the construction and oil and gas industries contribute to steady demand for specialized PPE, such as helmets, gloves, and protective eyewear, due to the high risk of physical and chemical hazards in these sectors. As construction and energy activities grow in North America, particularly in regions like the Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. Southwest, the market for PPE in these segments is expected to remain robust.
North America Personal Protective Equipment Market Report Highlights:
- Based on product, the hand protection segment held 29.3% of the revenue share in 2024. Hand protection is essential across various industries such as construction, food processing, oil & gas, healthcare, and metal fabrication to prevent common hand injuries. Hand protection equipment is utilized in manufacturing to mitigate injuries stemming from cuts, abrasions, burns, and exposure to chemicals.
- Based on end use, the healthcare segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 11.2% over the forecast period.The segment's growth is driven by an increasing requirement for protective clothing, respiratory protection, and hand protection in the healthcare industry to safeguard employees against harmful infections.
- In March 2024, FallTech launched the FT-Lineman Pro Body Belt. The latest utility belt breaks away from the conventional design and offers unmatched comfort, versatility, and lasting support. This new launch is likely to help the company strengthen its position in the personal protective equipment market.
