Top 10 Growth Opportunities in Personal Protective Equipment, 2024

Sustainability and Connectivity Will Be the Keys to Growth

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a growing and lucrative industry globally.

As the PPE industry struggles with pricing pressures, growing inflation, and global economic uncertainty, successful stakeholders offer strategic product differentiation by adapting their products to changing consumer and regional preferences, and by digitalizing supply chain and company processes.

Despite the market's intense dynamics, at its core, the PPE industry exists to enhance worker safety, productivity, and return on investment (ROI). The major trends that will define the industry are sustainability, connectivity, and the reshoring of healthcare and industrial PPE manufacturing capabilities.
