The PPE market for women stood at $799.7 million in 2020. Growth is driven by an increase in women employees across industrial sectors, an increase in awareness, stringent regulatory compliance, and realization of increased hazards at the workplace due to ill-fitting PPE.
The growth in demand for women-specific PPE is also because women have a different body structure than men, and therefore, smaller, scaled-down versions of men's PPE are not the right fit for women. This explicit need for women-centric PPE is expected to drive higher adoption in the near future.
The lack of availability of PPE products in adequate sizes, designs, and colors for women has created a demand-supply gap. Furthermore, with lucrative growth rates and limited competition, a number of manufacturers are expected to enter the market with their offerings of PPE for women in the coming years.
