Frost & Sullivan, March 2008, Pages: 79
This Frost & Sullivan research titled Chinese Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Markets provides market drivers, restraints, industry challenges, market revenue and forecasts, and technology trend. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: above-the-neck PPE, protective clothing, respiratory protection equipment, protective gloves, and protective footwear.
Market Overview
Increasing Self-protection Awareness among Workers Drives Demand for Personal Protective Equipment in China
Rising safety concerns as well as workers’ awareness of their rights to a safe working environment and self-protection is causing a surge in the demand for personal protection equipment (PPE) in China. The Chinese Government is increasingly emphasizing working safety issues and strictly enforcing safety laws, compelling enterprises to offer PPE to their employees. "With self-protection education, public campaigns, and media advocacy, the awareness of self-protection has improved among workers," says the analyst of this research service. "Increased penetration of enhanced protective clothing and gloves further aids the growth of this market."
PPE manufacturers can attract more end users by improving their existing products and introducing new ones through sustained research and development. They have to offer high-quality and trouble-free products to ensure that neither workers’ safety is compromised nor the enterprise’s reputation is diminished. "Quality assurance is important and this process should be implemented in the entire production line and supplying network," notes the analyst. "Customers should also be informed of the replacement of older PPE products in the market to maintain sustained demand."
Improved Products and Education Campaigns to Hike Sales of PPE
The highly fragmented and competitive Chinese PPE market is experiencing an influx of foreign companies, which are keen to participate in the high-end segment. PPE participants are offering lower prices and differentiating their products to win more customers, especially in the high-end market. Although manufacturers are facing stiff challenges from issues such as inferior products, price sensitivity, and inefficient revisions of regulations and laws, the introduction of sophisticated technology is expected to significantly boost the market.
These high-end product improvements need to be conveyed to the end users if adoption rates are to rise substantially. Currently, most enterprises show low compliance with health and safety laws, while the inadequate safety consciousness of poorly educated laborers in the mining, heavy metal, and chemical industries serve as another deterrent. "The Chinese PPE users need to be informed of the methods of PPE usage through education and public campaigns," remarks the analyst. "It is essential that market participants devise a method to make them realize the requirement for PPE to push up sales revenue."
