Rising Awareness about PPE Spawn Abundant Opportunities in the Russian Protective Gloves Market
Collaborations with Leading Distributors Critical to Gain a Competitive Edge
The Russian protective gloves market shows great potential as awareness about the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE) protection spreads among employers and employees across various industries. Hand protection gloves are the most common of PPE that are used in harmful and hazardous working environments. In 2010, the Russian Ministry of Labour established a law stating that an employee can refuse to work, without his salary being affected, if the appropriate PPE is not provided by the employer. “The changes in the labour law norms are increasing the number and quality of protective gloves, which have to be compulsorily supplied to the workers for a period of time,” notes the analyst of this research service. “That provides immense opportunities for gloves manufacturers, especially those addressing traditional industry sectors such as oil and gas, fabrication and developing industries such as food and automotive.”
Promising changes in the labour law, growth of new industries and increasing interest in PPE will provide a great opportunity for the market development. To sustain their growth, market participants have to strategise to address the issues of bureaucracy, high custom duties and end users’ low levels of safety literacy. In many industry sectors, such as construction, a significant number of people still work without using appropriate or even any hand protection. The requirements for hand protection in the Russian Federation are determined by the gosudarstvennyy standart (GOST) legislative standards. The GOST certificate is essential and preferred by the distributors and end users. “The process of obtaining the present product certification GOST takes about six months and it is rather an expensive process,” says the analyst.”
To ensure high uptake of protective gloves despite these hurdles, it is imperative to educate the management board of end-user companies through seminars and meetings. The market participants can also aid end users in choosing the most relevant, pricequality-balanced gloves from the extensive product portfolios. About 80 per cent of the sales in the Russian market for protective gloves are made through distributors. This implies that a company’s success is due to its collaboration with one of the leading distributors. Finally, companies that can provide not only high-quality products but also primarily developed customer service are likely to enhance their market share. “The future of the hand protection market is mostly linked to the country’s economic growth, changes of the labour law norms, stricter controls concerning use of PPE, as well as rising interest of end users about their own protection,” observes the analyst. “These factors indicate that between 2011 and 2017, the market would triple in size.”
