Segments - Global Chemical and Biological Protective Coveralls Market By Type (Durable and Disposable), Protection Level (Type 3, Type 4, Type 5, and Type 6), Application (General Protection, Chemical Protection, Biological Protection, Paint Industry, Military, Industrial Cleaning, Clean Rooms, and Health Care and Pharmaceuticals, Others), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028
The global chemical and biological protective coveralls market was valued at USD 2,871.8 Million in 2020 and is anticipated to reach USD 6,247.5 Million by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period. Chemical and biological protective coveralls refer to clothing that is worn by individuals that engage in activities that may expose them to chemical and biological hazards.
These coveralls ensure protection to the wearers from these hazards. They are used when the chemicals are corrosive, irritant, photosensitizers, skin carcinogens, and the when there is a risk of being prone to harmful biological agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, and parasites.
A key aspect of the sustainability goals of players in the chemical industry, governments, and environmentalists is to steer the wheel towards better management of commercial chemicals. The Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM), a policy framework for the production of chemicals which is backed by large international chemical companies, is taking efforts to promote sharing of hazards and risk information of chemicals.
In addition to this, concerns regarding the worker safety are rising across the globe due to increasing workplace injuries & accidents These factors in combination are anticipated to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Infection diseases (disorders caused by biological agents — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites) were listed as one of the top 10 risks in terms of impact for the next decade as per the Global Risks Report. Rising global population, overcrowding in cities with poor sanitation, and lack of public health infrastructure in certain regions is leading to a rise in infectious diseases. In addition, globally, an estimated 3,20,000 workers die every year from infectious work-related diseases. This is leading to a rise in the prominence of protective coveralls and is projected to boost the growth of the global chemical and biological protective coveralls market during the forecast period.
Strict regulations regarding the safety of individuals prone to hazardous chemicals and biological agents are expected to uplift the demand for chemical & biological protective coveralls. Organizations such as WHO (World Health Organization) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) play a key role in highlighting the safety of individuals at the workplace by implementing & updating standards and promoting safeguards. The intervention of regulatory authorities and bodies is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The chemical industry saw a decline due to the pandemic and contracted by 2.6% in 2020 according to ACC (American Chemistry Council). But it is expected to bounce back in the beginning of the forecast period and grow considerably later on. Countries such as India and China are expected to lead this recovery in terms of the global output of chemicals. This bouncing back of the chemical industry is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Infrastructural development continues to grow in spite of the pandemic. In fact, global infrastructure projects are anticipated to create the bedrock of plans for economic recovery from the pandemic. In 2020, over 2,500 projects were announced, a 5.5% rise from the previous year. As a result, construction activities are growing thereby bolstering the paints industry which in turn, is fueling chemical and biological protective coveralls market.
In addition, though manufacturing activities aren’t at the pre-pandemic level, the manufacturing industry is witnessing a recovery globally with countries such as China already witnessing excellent growth in industrial output near the pre-covid levels. This bouncing back of manufacturing activities across the globe is anticipated to provide multiple opportunities to the market during the forecast period.
