Rising Demand for Occupational Safety
Occupational safety and health at work are vital components of decent work. According to the Istituto nazionale per l'assicurazione contro gli infortuni sul lavoro, the number of work accidents in Italy in 2021 was estimated to be 564 thousand. Data show that over 480 thousand work-related incidents occurred on the job itself, while approximately 84 thousand occurrences occurred on the way to or from work. To reduce the number of such instances, employers in various industries across the world have been focused on enhancing their employees' safety by providing better safety equipment, such as industrial safety gloves or footwear, among other such equipment. This factor has helped propel the sales of industrial safety gloves worldwide over the past few years. Thus, the prevalence of fatal occupational injuries, especially in industries such as construction, mining, utilities, and manufacturing, among others, has led to the increased use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including industrial safety gloves, thereby, driving the growth of the market studied over the review period
Asia-Pacific to Witness the Fastest Growth Rate
The rising presence of various service and manufacturing industries and stringent government rules and regulations on industrial safety are driving the market in Asia-Pacific. For instance, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) offers information on worker protection for functioning in various industrial settings by imposing rules and regulations. Every manufacturing company has a quality department to check the quality of industrial gloves and ensure that the procured gloves are up to the mark in real-time operations. Such factors are influencing the demand for high-quality safety gloves in the region. In Asia-Pacific, rising industrialization and growth in the number of workers are expected to support the demand for industrial safety gloves, especially in China and India. According to industrial sources, there are currently 5,384 disposable glove-related enterprises in China, 2,779 companies registered in 2020, and 235 companies registered in January 2021.
