Saudi Arabia Personal Protection Equipment Market Overview, 2028

Rising consumer health and safety concerns are a major driver in the Saudi Arabian personal protective equipment (PPE) market. Rising concern about the dangers associated with viral diseases such as COVID is expected to drive demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), propelling the PPE market forward. Mandatory occupational safety regulations for worker safety in various industries are also driving growth. The extreme heat in Saudi Arabia, especially during the summer months, can pose a significant risk to workers who need to wear PPE for extended periods of time. PPE that is too heavy or does not allow for adequate ventilation can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke, which can be life-threatening. To address this issue, PPE manufacturers in Saudi Arabia design their products to be lightweight and breathable while still providing adequate protection. For instance, some PPE may be made from materials that are specially designed to wick moisture away from the skin, such as certain types of polyester or microfiber fabrics. In addition, some PPE may be designed to provide ventilation or airflow to the body, such as clothing with mesh panels or perforations or helmets with built-in fans. Some PPE may also be treated with special coatings or finishes that help to reflect heat and UV rays.

According to the research report "Saudi Arabia Personal Protection Equipment Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the Saudi Arabia personal protection equipment market is projected to reach market size around USD 635 Million by 2028. Saudi Arabia is undergoing rapid industrialization, with major investments being made in sectors such as petrochemicals, mining, and construction. This is driving demand for PPE, as workers in these industries require protection from a wide range of hazards, including chemical exposure, falls, and respiratory hazards. Furthermore, as the importance of workplace safety becomes more widely recognized in Saudi Arabia, there is growing awareness of the importance of PPE. This is leading to increased demand for PPE as employers seek to provide their workers with the protection they need to perform their jobs safely. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for PPE in Saudi Arabia as healthcare workers and the general public seeks to protect themselves from the virus. This has led to shortages and price increases for certain types of PPE, such as masks and gloves.

In Saudi Arabia, by end-user industry, the market is divided into healthcare, manufacturing, construction, oil and gas, firefighting, food, and others. The healthcare industry has the highest CAGR in the personal protection equipment (PPE) market during the forecast period. Healthcare workers use a variety of PPE to protect themselves from infectious diseases and other hazards, including gloves, masks, gowns, and face shields. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for these products significantly. The healthcare industry is subject to strict regulatory requirements when it comes to PPE. Healthcare workers are required to use PPE that meets specific safety standards, and employers are responsible for ensuring that workers have access to the necessary equipment. In addition, based on product type, the market is classified into head protection, protective clothing, respiratory protection, eye and face protection, hearing protection, head protection, fall protection, and others. The hand protection segment accounts for the largest share of the market. Rising worker safety awareness in the mining, construction, equipment manufacturing, and chemical industries will drive demand for industrial safety gloves. The growing demand for safety gloves is expected to drive growth in the hand protection segment. Handling sharp-edged materials in the workplace, such as metal, abrasion, and glass, may increase product adoption. Workers are protected from chemical burns and metal cuts by wearing safety gloves. Furthermore, most safety glove manufacturers are developing acquisition strategies to expand their product portfolios and boost business expansion.

There are several organisations in Saudi Arabia that are involved in the regulation and oversight of personal protective equipment (PPE). For instance, the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO) is responsible for setting standards for PPE and other products in Saudi Arabia. SASO's role is to ensure that products meet safety, health, and environmental standards before they can be sold in the Saudi Arabian market. Furthermore, the Ministry of Labor and Social Development (MLSD) is responsible for enforcing workplace safety regulations in Saudi Arabia, including those related to the use of PPE. The MLSD conducts inspections and enforces penalties for employers who do not comply with safety regulations. Moreover, the Ministry of Health (MOH) is responsible for ensuring that PPE used in healthcare settings meets safety and infection control standards. The MOH sets regulations and guidelines for the use of PPE by healthcare workers and conducts inspections to ensure compliance. In addition, the National Occupational Health and Safety Centre (NOHSC) is responsible for promoting occupational health and safety in Saudi Arabia, including the use of PPE. The NOHSC provides training and education on workplace safety and works to raise awareness of the importance of PPE in preventing workplace injuries and illnesses.
