Medical PPE Market by Product Type (Protective Clothing, Respiratory, Hand Protection), End-use Industry (Hospitals, Outpatient/Primary Care Facilities), and Region - Global Forecast to 2030
The medical PPE market is projected to reach USD 28.8 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.4% from USD 20.4 billion in 2022. The rising product demand, especially from the healthcare industry, due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, coupled with rising awareness about Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs), is likely to drive the market growth. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) acts as a barrier between infectious viruses and the eyes, nose, mouth, and skin of the person using it. Thus, healthcare personnel use PPE to minimize their exposure to infectious microorganisms in the clinical environment. Products, such as gowns and gloves, are used to interrupt the transmission of pathogens when treating patients with communicable diseases.

Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand from healthcare sector to drive the market
The healthcare PPE market share will witness an upward trajectory on the back of robust demand from the healthcare facilities. Major players have upped their focus on underpinning their product offerings in face shields, face masks, gloves, and gowns. Furthermore, rigorous government norms and rising concern toward health and safety will compel end-users to invest in PPE products. However, the possibility of skin injury and increasing cases of skin allergies could impede the industry growth.
Restraints: increasing skin allergies due to usage of PPE products to pose as a threat for market growth
Moist skin owing to sweating, skin tear due to tightness of masks, and pressure injuries are three primary reasons for skin injuries caused by personal protective equipment. Many of these allergies are caused due to heavy sweating, long wear time, and the usage of grade III type of products. Generally, the most susceptible part of skin injuries in medical staff includes nose bridges, ears, cheeks, and forehead.
“Protective clothing the largest type of Medical PPE market in 2021, in terms of value”
In the product segment, protective clothing accounted for the largest market share, owing to increase in use of coverall, gowns, and scrubs as a basic requirement for any healthcare personnel or patient. However, respiratory protection PPE is projected to grow at a highest CAGR, owing to rise in the usage of face masks by general public due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
“Hospitals was the largest end-use industry for medical PPE market in 2021, in terms of value”
The hospital segment accounted for the major share due to rapidly growing coronavirus cases. PPE helps in preventing the spread of germs in hospitals and clinics. Hospitals use three different types of medical gloves made up of vinyl, nitrile, and latex materials. Hospitals and clinics have mandated using protective gloves among healthcare workers to protect them against various pathogenic microorganisms.
“North America was the largest market for Medical PPE in 2021, in terms of value.”
North America is expected to hold the highest position in the market during the forecast period. This is due to increasing awareness regarding the safety & health laws mandating the proper use of safety gloves, isolation gowns, and face masks. The outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States led to a surge in demand for PPE by healthcare and paramedical workers. The continuous R&D in the healthcare sector will boost the regional industry growth.
