Global Law Enforcement Personal Protective Equipment Market by Product (Respiratory Protection, Protective Clothing, Hand Protection) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global law enforcement personal protective equipment market was worth USD 2.55 billion in 2019. It is projected to grow at a 9.0% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2020 and 2027. The increase in asymmetric warfare and the increasing emphasis on police survivability are expected to drive demand for personal protection equipment (PPE), over the forecast period. The Global Peace Index shows that civil unrest has increased by more than two-fold in the last decade, due to upcoming issues such as police brutality and economic hardship. Riots have increased worldwide by more than 280% over the past ten years. Tensions are likely to rise further as the coronavirus epidemic will adversely impact civil rights, violence, conflict and political stability.

Many law enforcement agencies, unions and membership organizations have stepped forward to meet the needs of police in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The International Association of Chiefs of Police has developed a searchable database of COVID-19 resources that will allow them to track the PPE stockpile and analyze the impact of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for PPE by law enforcement agencies. This includes gloves, coveralls and respirator masks. The limited supply of these products has caused a disruption in the supply chain, leading to PPE shortages. This has created opportunities for domestic businesses to increase their manufacturing capabilities.

The PPE value chain was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes the removal of government controls to ensure uninterrupted supply, increased production capacity, and control over exports. The long-term effects of the pandemic include strategic stockpiling, significant growth of manufacturing capabilities of different players, as well as an increase in mergers & acquisitions, new entrants, and increased supply.

Lack of raw material supply, labor shortages, lockdowns, and limited capacity expansion in PPE production have all contributed to an increase in the demand-supply gap for products such as respirators and masks. Export bans in countries like China, Thailand, Canada and Malaysia have also contributed to a worsening of PPE shortages such as face masks.

Product Insights

Protective clothing accounted for 49.9% of global revenue in 2019, accounting for the largest share of law enforcement PPE market. The demand for body armor is expected to rise due to technological advancements and the introduction of new products such as magnetic fluids and sheer thickening fluids in . The product demand is also expected to rise due to rising demand for nanocomposite fibres, which are around 15 times stronger than steel and 74% stronger that aramid fibers.

In recent years, there has been a rise in demand for combat helmets due to the increasing number of officers who have been killed by IED explosions or firearms in the last decade. The demand for head protection gears is expected to rise due to the increasing efforts of governments around the world to produce lightweight, advanced combat helmets.

Due to the increasing number of new coronavirus cases and the shortage of N95 masks in the United States, the respiratory protection segment will expand at a CAGR 10.8% between 2020-2027. Honeywell International, Inc. and 3M are among the many manufacturers that have partnered with government agencies to increase production to address the problem of scarcity.

Nike is one of the companies that manufactures powered air-purifying respirators, (PAPR), and face shields to protect frontline workers against the COVID-19 pandemic. Several universities and associations such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Surrey, Purdue University and Defense Research and Development Organization, India are also involved in PPE production.

Regional Insights

North America was the dominant market, accounting for 31.6% of global revenue in 2019. The market is expected to grow due to the current state and federal occupational safety and health protocols and an increase in education campaigns about the proper use and dispensing of PPE in the U.S. The regional market will also be boosted by fundraising campaigns such as #gotyoucovered or #GetUsPPE.

Mexico's growth rate is 8.4% between 2020 and 2027 due to the declaration by the government of a health emergency in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. The country's main focus is to provide enough PPE and medical equipment for frontline workers in order to fight coronavirus.

The restraint on goods and services transport and people's movement has had a negative impact on the rest of the world, as well as containment measures such factory shut downs in China. This has led to a shortage in non-woven fabrics that are used in the manufacture of protective clothing and face masks.

Due to economic hardships and unemployment in Europe, political instability is expected to lead to more general strikes and riots. According to the International Monetary Fund in 2020, the EU27 economy will contract by 8.3%. This will lead to worsening labor conditions and increasing civil unrest.
