North America and E.U. PPE Distribution Market worth $28.9 Billion by 2025

The North America and Europe distribution market for personal protective equipment (PPE) is expected to reach US$28.95 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Shifting consumer trend towards online spending, coupled with growing connectivity across various countries, has offered access to international brands and the new entrants as well.

Low investment and risks associated with e-commerce business platforms have enabled various distributors to enhance their regional presence, thereby accessing untapped markets in Europe. Financial liabilities associated with store operation and maintenance costs have urged distributors to shift towards online business platforms over the past few years. Grainger has recently shut down multiple offices and invested in upcoming warehouse projects at remote locations, to compete with e-commerce giants such as Amazon and enhance its stake in the PPE distribution market.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

— Hand protection emerged as the largest product segment. Product demand in Germany was valued at over US$400 million in 2016;
— Head, eye and face protection are anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over six per cent from 2017 to 2025. Product demand in the U.S. is expected to be valued at over US$1.6 billion by 2025;
— Protective-footwear distribution in North America was valued at over US$1.3 billion in 2016. Growing concern towards workplace fatalities associated with chainsaws, electric shock and associated risks in mills and the energy sector is expected to steer product demand over the forecast period;
