Pandemic boosted the demand and production of medical protective equipment, increasing the medical protective equipment overall market during the forecast period (2024-2030).

Moreover, another key factor is to avoid infection and contamination by maintaing proper hygiene which is also responsible for the growth of medical protective equipment market, equipments such as surgical gloves, gowns, medical cap acts as a protective barrier to prevent the transmission of infections between healthcare professional and patients during the treatment or diagnosis. Therefore, the requirement of protective eqipments are rising continuously which will drive the medical protective equipment overall market growth.

However, growing concern about disposal of medical protective equipment and lack of comfort while using the equipment can slow down the medical protective equipment market growth.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the medical protective equipment market. Surge in COVID-19 cases across the globe generated the huge demand of medical protective equipment such as masks, gloves, face shields, respirators, medical caps, gowns & others to protect healthcare and frontline workers which are always on high risk of getting infected as well as general public also. Severe shortage of medical protective equipment was reported due to its high demand globally. However, with masses being vaccinated, people are still taking precautions by using these medical protective equipment & there are still chances of surge in pandemics cases such as COVID-19. Thus, medical protective equipment market is expected to further grow during the forecast period (2024-2030).

Medical Protective Equipment Market Segment Analysis:

Medical Protective Equipment Market by Product Type (Face Protection, Hand Protection, Gowns and Others), by Usability Type (Disposable and Reusable), by End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Laboratories, and Others) and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)

In by product type segment of medical protective equipment market, face protection equipment such as respirators, surgical masks and face shields are expected to hold a significant share in the year 2023, they slow down the spread of any viral infection & transmission from one person to another, they are cost effective and can be reused. Therefore, these benefits associated with face protection equipment would increase the demand of face protective equipment which results in growth of overall medical protective equipment market.

In June 2022, KARAM Industries announced the launch of 3 Ply surgical face mask which is comfortable, affordable and provide ultimate protection against infections.

In August 2020, Excel3D Advanced Technologies announced the launch of N100 equivalent respirator 'XD100' mask which is reusable, affordable and has air filter with a efficiency of 99.97%.

Moreover, these new innovations in the face protective equipment surge the demand of equipment, thereby driving the growth of the overall medical protective equipment market during the forecast period from 2024-2030.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Medical Protective Equipment Market:

Among all the regions, North America is estimated to dominate the global medical protective equipment market in the year 2023 and is expected to do the same during the forecast period from 2024-2030. Factors such as increasing prevalence of pandemic such as COVID-19 and rising incidence rates of epidemic such as flu increases the demand of medical protective equipment in the North America market.

For instance, according to the data published WHO in 2022, 81, 178,013 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 990,599 deaths have been reported in the United States (US). Canada reports 3,794,896 confirmed COVID cases and 39,788 deaths. Mexico reports 5,745,652 confirmed COVID cases and 324,000 deaths. Therefore, to reduce the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths related to it, medical protective equipment such as masks, gloves, face shield, PPE kits are used which provide protection against the disease and prevent further transmission. Therefore, increase in the use of such equipment will drive the growth of medical protective equipment market in the region.

Further, according to CDC January 2022, data states that from 2010-2020 in the US, flu has resulted illness in 9-41 million people, 140,000-710,000 hospitalizations and 12,000-52,000 deaths were reported annually. It was Estimated that from 2020-2022, 35,000,000 cases were of illness, 16,000,000 people were going for medical visit and 380,000 were hospitalized. Therefore, illness & deaths from flu can be prevented by maintaining the hygiene, avoiding contact with sick people, covering mouth & nose by using protective equipment like face masks which will increase the growth of medical protective equipment.

Therefore, increasing prevalence of epidemics and pandemics like Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), COVID-19, & flu among others increases the demand of medical protective equipment in the region which in turn provide a conducive growth environment for North America medical protective equipment market.
