Market Overview

Increasing Awareness among End Users across Various Industries Propels Market for PPE in India

With India rebounding quickly from the economic downturn, recovery in the manufacturing sector has been smooth in 2009-10. This has made India a hotspot for manufacturing as increasing number of MNCs have setup manufacturing units in the country. In response, industries across various sectors are adopting several qualitative steps including protective measures for employees to encourage the entry of MNCs. “Increasing awareness among end users about improving the safety standards of their employees opens up opportunities for manufacturers of certified personal protective equipment,” notes the analyst of this research service.

However, low-cost, uncertified and sub-standard products that decrease the safety levels of personnel and erode the market shares of certified PPE manufacturers currently dominate the market. The high price sensitivity among end users discourages market growth in terms of revenues. Further, no incentives are available for those who adopt high quality product offerings. Some end users even tend to re-use disposable PPE, especially protective clothing and gloves. “The Indian PPE markets’ foremost challenge is to create more awareness among end users about the correct PPE products – especially protective gloves – to be used in various industries,” says the analyst. “Lack of enforcement of government’s occupational and safety regulations only reduce the potential of the total PPE market.” Hence, PPE manufacturers face the responsibility to encourage industries to invest in certified quality products despite the products’ high price.

Overall, the time is ripe for the PPE manufacturers to establish strategies that set them on the path to growth. To begin with, manufacturers must take steps to introduce a diverse range of products to cater to various price segments. A well-planned distribution network will further ensure that the products reach the right end users. “Having introduced training initiatives, invested in branding and the setting up a consortium/organization to initiate stringent enforcement of safety standards, the PPE market in India is poised for steady growth,” concludes the analyst.
