India Protective Clothing Market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.99% over the forecast period to attain a market size of US$341.312 million in 2027, from US$242.716 million in 2020.
Rising concerns regarding workers’ safety in various industries with hazardous work environments are boosting the demand for protective clothing in the country. The country’s increasing investment in industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals to ramp up domestic production is also contributing to the increasing demand for protective clothing in the country. For instance, in 2018, Asian Paints invested Rs 4,000 crore to expand the capacity at its Mysuru and Vishakhapatnam facilities. With an increasing number of investors coming forward to invest in the ever-growing sector, including pharma and biotechnology, supported by the positive measures taken up by the central and state governments, the country’s cleanroom industry is booming, which, in turn, is also fuelling the demand for protective clothing in India.
The recent COVID-19 global pandemic outbreak has also severely affected India. With a surging number of people with coronavirus and the need to treat them while preventing the spread is also augmenting the demand for protective clothing in the country. The Indian government is actively collaborating with protective clothing manufacturers to keep up the supply of required medical protective gear and medical equipment, including masks and ventilators. For example, the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has collaborated with local companies to manufacture 20,000 N99 masks per day.
The Indian Protective Clothing market has been segmented based on type and end-user industry. By type, the market has been segmented as flame retardant apparel, chemical defensive garments, cleanroom clothing, mechanical protective clothing, and limited general-use clothing. By the end-user industry, the Indian protective clothing market has been classified into oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, aerospace and defense, healthcare, and government.
