Factors such as rising concerns regarding the safety of workers around the various end-user industry, the presence of a well-established manufacturing sector in the region, and expanding industries such as oil and gas, chemical and aerospace, and defense are significantly boosting the overall market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, rising awareness about controlling fatalities and accidents across various industries is anticipated to increase the demand for flame retardant apparel which in turn is projected to drive the overall market growth.
Drivers:
The presence of major regional and global market players in the region is further expected to drive the market. Some of these players include firms like DuPont, Honeywell International Inc, and 3M, to name a few. These market players engage in favorable developments, in response to the growing demand for this type of clothing, which is expected to drive market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic drove the market in the region due to the growing demand for protective equipment that it caused. For instance, EURATEX (European Apparel and Textile Confederation) actively provided resources to the suppliers and producers of this clothing in the region to increase the production of protective masks and gowns in response to the onset of the pandemic.
Key developments.
The market in the region is expected to bolster due to the growing end-user industries, the presence of major market players in the region along with favorable market development.
By end-user industry, Europe’s protective clothing market is segmented into oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, aerospace and defense, healthcare, and government. The oil and gas segment is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. The oil and gas industry in Europe is a burgeoning sector, which is expected to drive the protective clothing market in the region as the workers in this industry require protective clothing in order to shield them from any fire hazards that may happen at their work site. In January 2019, Irkutsk Polymer Plant sealed an agreement with Toyo Engineering Corporation to establish a 650,000 t/y facility in Russia for polyethylene and ethylene production. Thus, such investments in the expansion of petrochemical production in the region are expected to increase employment, thereby driving the demand for protective clothing equipment.
By country, the Europe commercial greenhouse market is divided into Germany, France, the UK, Spain, and others. Germany accounted for a market share. Germany is witnessing positive growth in its industrial sectors such as oil & gas and manufacturing which has boosted the country’s overall industrial productivity. For instance, according to the U.S Energy Information Administration, in August 2022, Germany's crude oil production stood at 42 thousand barrels per day, which represented an increase of 23.5% over 34 thousand barrels produced in 2021 for the same month. Such growing production is expected to boost the demand for protective clothing in Germany’s oil & gas sector to safeguard workers from unfortunate chemical and heat exposures during production hours.
