Market Overview

The global medical protective clothing market was estimated at USD 398.3 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at a 7.8% CAGR during the forecast period.

Medical protective clothing is personal protective equipment, including garments that provide protection against blood, bodily fluids, and other harmful microorganisms that can transfer infectious diseases. It involves coveralls, surgical gowns, and isolation gowns. They are usually difficult to wear, can be uncomfortable but reduce chances of contamination. According to studies evaluating different types of personal protective equipment (PPE), gowns with gloves attached at the cuff, and modified gowns that are tighter at the neck, can offer protection for people at health risks.

Medical protective clothing plays a significant role in offering adequate protection to medical professionals. These clothing have applications in different working environments that can be hazardous for legs or feet which include chemical spillage, falling object, dampness, abrasive materials, among others. The use of chemical and oil resistant soles on footwear, safety shoes with steel toe caps, gaiters, and leggings are increasingly adopted for protection. Various beneficial properties, such as high durability, non-inflammability, excellent dimensional stability, and high mechanical strength are anticipated to augment market growth in various hazardous work fields.

Factors such as rise in safety concerns for front-line workers in healthcare, growing demand for high-quality patient care, growth in COVID-19 cases, and rise in the number of surgeries globally, are driving the market growth for medical protective clothing treatment. However, high investments in R&D activities and the high cost of quality medical protective clothing are expected to restrain the market growth during the forecast period.
