Healthcare Personal Protective Equipment Industry Overview
The global healthcare personal protective equipment market size was valued at USD 22.96 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1% from 2020 to 2028.
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.

The rising cases of Covid-19 in the U.S. coupled with the presence of stringent regulations regarding the safety of healthcare personnel are anticipated to bolster the product demand over the coming years. Moreover, several small- and large-scale manufacturers in the country have either launched new production lines or have re-engineered the existing ones to boost the availability of critical supplies, including PPE, during the pandemic.
Factors including developing healthcare systems, improving economic conditions, and population growth are anticipated to fuel healthcare spending globally. Rising cases of chronic diseases and increasing investments in medical technology & healthcare infrastructure are also likely to spur the healthcare expenditure across the globe, thereby augmenting the PPE market growth.
The global pandemic has forced first respondents and healthcare workers to adapt to new safety protocols and utilize large amounts of PPE, such as gloves, masks, and gowns. However, the supply chain of PPE was strained to a large extent, resulting in its insufficient supply. Although the supply chain has improved over the past few months, few healthcare facilities and businesses are still facing difficulty in procuring products, such as gloves and respirators.
One of the key reasons responsible for supply chain disruptions was that almost half of the world’s masks were produced in China before the pandemic. As the pandemic began, China cut down its exports of masks to other countries. Moreover, several key components of N95 and surgical masks were also sourced from China, due to which manufacturers based in other countries faced difficulty in procuring these supplies to continue their production.
