Workwear Global Market Report 2024

Description

Workwear consists of clothing specifically crafted for those involved in manual labor or physically demanding tasks. These garments are usually made from robust materials like denim, canvas, or polyester blends to endure harsh conditions and offer protection.

The primary categories of workwear include topwear, bottomwear, and coveralls. Topwear in work settings includes items such as shirts, t-shirts, jackets, and other upper-body garments tailored for different work environments. These products are available for men, women, and unisex use, and are distributed through various sales channels, including wholesalers, supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialty stores, and online platforms. They are utilized across a range of industries, such as chemical, power, food and beverage, biological, and others, catering to end users in sectors like construction, oil and gas, chemicals, healthcare, and beyond.

This workwear market research report delivers a complete perspective on everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The workwear market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.46 billion in 2023 to $20.85 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth during the historic period can be credited to industrialization, the emergence of factories, the implementation of labor laws and safety regulations, progress in textile manufacturing, the development of specialized uniforms for different professions, and the impact of military uniforms on civilian work clothing.

The workwear market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.61 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be linked to stricter workplace safety regulations, expansion in the construction and manufacturing industries, greater emphasis on employee comfort, and the growth of e-commerce in retail. Key trends during this period include advancements in wearable technology, a focus on brand identity through uniform design, the emergence of smart workwear incorporating technology, the development of advanced fabrics using natural fiber composites, and innovations in fabric and apparel technologies.

The rising number of industrial accidents is anticipated to drive the growth of the workwear market in the future. Industrial accidents refer to unexpected incidents in the workplace that result in injury or death, including fatal work-related injuries. This increase in accidents is partly due to inadequate safety management, insufficient training, and a lack of effective safety measures, all of which fail to adequately protect workers and reduce risks. Workwear plays a crucial role in preventing industrial accidents by offering essential protection against hazards, lowering the risk of injuries, and improving overall safety compliance. For example, in December 2023, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based government agency, indicated that the United States recorded 5,486 fatal work injuries in 2022, a 5.7% increase from 5,190 in 2021, with the fatal work injury rate rising to 3.7 per 100,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers from 3.6 per 100,000 FTE in 2021. Consequently, the increase in industrial accidents is fueling the growth of the workwear market.

Leading companies in the workwear market are expanding their product lines by developing innovative products, such as Spotlight visibility workwear, designed to enhance safety and visibility for workers in low-light environments. Spotlight visibility workwear refers to high-visibility clothing that improves worker safety by increasing visibility in low-light or dangerous conditions. For example, in October 2022, UniFirst Corporation, a US-based workwear company, introduced its new Spotlite MV visibility workwear collection, which offers a range of garments for men and women in various sizes, colors, and styles. The collection features improved visibility with reflective striping, along with comfort and mobility, lightweight and breathable fabrics, a modern color-block design, and high-quality manufacturing in ISO-certified facilities.

In June 2023, Portwest, an Ireland-based clothing manufacturer, acquired IFR Workwear Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Portwest's flame-resistant protective clothing portfolio and strengthen its presence in North America by leveraging IFR's brand and distribution network for continued growth and innovation in safety wear. IFR Workwear Inc. is a Canada-based company specializing in premium workwear for industrial and occupational use.
