The top three revenue contributing product segments are discussed below:
Hand and arm protection market in the US
Hand and arm protection market in the US accounted for around 26% share in the PPE market in the US, in 2015. Hand and arm protection includes products such as gloves, wrist cuffs, and sleeves. Being the primary protection for hands, the use of these products is high across various industries. These products may be available at comparatively lower prices but the increased demand for hand protection products like cut and flame resistant gloves will drive the PPE market growth. Most of the hand protection products are of the Kevlar brand of DuPont, owing to the brand’s lightweight and cut and abrasion resistant property.
“For applications such as welding, wood cutting, and metal fabrication, vendors are offering cut resistant gloves and sleeves that are made of high performance fabrics. The strong growth of the global metal fabrication industry will have a positive impact on the manufacturers of such hand and arm protection PPE in the coming years,” says Abhay Sinha, a senior analyst at Technavio. Protective clothing market in the US
In 2015, protective clothing market in the US accounted for over 23% share in the PPE market in the US. An increase in demand for products such as thermal protective clothing, will drive the protective clothing market in the US. Protective clothing with high air permeability that reduces heat, is required by the workers of the industries such as mining, oil and gas, and fire protection. The growing demand for specific categories of protective clothing from these end-user industries will boost the PPE market in the US.
