The top three revenue generating product type segments in the PPE market in the US are discussed below:
Hand and arm protection market in US
Hand and arm protection include products such as gloves, wrist cuffs, and sleeves. Hand and arm protection accounted for the largest share of the PPE market in the US in 2015. The consumption volume of these products is high across industries since they are the primary protection for hands. Although these products are offered at relatively lower price points compared with other PPE, the rising demand for specialized hand protection products such as cut- and flame-resistant gloves will drive market growth.
Vendors are offering cut-resistant gloves and sleeves made of high-performance fabrics for specific applications such as wood cutting, metal fabrication, and welding. The majority of these products deploy fabrics and technology of the Kevlar brand of DuPont. Kevlar is known for being lightweight and cut- and abrasion-resistant.
Protective clothing market in US
The protective clothing market in the US is expected to be driven by an increasing demand for product categories such as thermal protective clothing. Industries such as mining, oil and gas, and fire protection require workers to equip themselves with protective clothing with high air permeability that reduces heating. The growing demand for specific categories of protective clothing from these industries will boost the PPE market in the US.
DuPont is the leading provider of protective clothing in the market, with well-known brands such as Kevlar, Nomex, Tyvek, and Tychem for a wide range of applications including military, healthcare, and industrial.
Foot and leg protection market in US
Sprain, lacerations, and injuries due to falling objects and electrical shocks are the most common types of occupational foot and leg injuries in the US. So, the demand for products such as metatarsal guards, safety shoes, foot and shoe guards, and toe guards remains high.
The manufacturing and mining industries are the key end-users of foot and leg protection products. These industries involve certain works that are carried out in wet and slippery conditions, which may lead to injuries. Foot protection products for mining industry may be made of leather or rubber depending on whether the mine is wet or dry. Leather-based protective footwear is particularly in high demand from wearers due to their aesthetic appeal.
