North American protective clothing market Geographical Outlook

• The North American protective clothing market is segmented into three nations.

Geography-wise, the market of North American protective clothing is divided into the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In the United States, the rising concern over workplace safety in major industries such as construction, healthcare, and food processing, among others, will propel the market growth in the coming years. The stringent regulations imposed by authorities will play a pivotal role in applying protective clothing to bring down fatalities. For instance, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a US Department of Labor agency that is responsible for enforcing standards for safe working conditions. Additionally, the growing employment in oil and gas extraction will also have a significant impact on the protective clothing market in the projected timeframe. As per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the workforce increased from around 111.1 thousand in January 2022 to 119.6 thousand in January 2024.

Similarly, protective clothing in the healthcare sector reduces a healthcare worker's exposure to hazardous substances such as chemical exposure, fire and heat, and UV radiation. The growing workforce in the healthcare industry will lead to more requirements for protective clothing, such as personal protective equipment (PPE), in the forecasted period. For instance, as per the Association of Clinical Documentation Integrity Specialists (ACDIS) and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2023, the healthcare sector created around 653,000 new jobs in the country, a nearly 17% increase from 2022.
