In 2019, the U.K. construction market was valued at USD 270.9 millions. It is expected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR), of 5.9% between 2020 and 2027. Market growth is expected to be driven by increased awareness of industry participants about the importance of worker safety at work and security due to the strict regulations and high cost associated with workplace hazards.
Personal Protective Equipment are made with many inherent properties, such as heat and ultraviolet tolerance, flexibility and wear resistance. They also have aesthetic appeal due to their wide range of applications. Protective equipment is a top choice for the construction industry due to its flame retardancy and better breathability.
The U.K.'s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is a government agency that aims to increase safety awareness in workplaces for workers in various industries. Initiatives like "Raising The Bar", which involves Highways England and its supply chain, to identify existing safety and health practices and to implement safety norms on all major construction projects, are expected to propel the market.
Personal protective equipment is expected to increase in demand due to rising safety and environmental concerns. Construction firms are focusing on personal protective equipment and worker protection due to high costs.
A shortage of personal protective equipment in the UK has resulted from rising demand and a ban on exporting products to China. NHS England confirmed that there is sufficient supply at the national level. BMA reports that doctors visit building sites in order to obtain masks due to a shortage of personal protective equipment of medical grade.
PPE manufacturers are involved in the design and supply of products for different industries. This is done by using innovative and unique technologies. The majority of manufacturers either license their technology from another industry participant or have their own proprietary technology.
The U.K. PPE In Construction segment had the largest revenue share at over 25% in 2019, with the protective clothing segment holding the highest revenue share. Due to the steady demand for the product, the segment will continue to hold the top revenue share throughout the forecast period. The most popular head protection gear for construction is the hard hat. They protect the head against falling objects, the sides of the neck, eyes and head from any bumps or electrical exposures. It is more expensive to treat an injury on a construction site than it is to provide hard hats. This has led to companies investing heavily in headgear.
Face protection is expected to see a 4.8% CAGR between 2020 and 2027 due to its ability to protect against chemical, radiological, or mechanical irritants. Every year, thousands of workers in the U.K. are blinded by workplace accidents. This could result in medical expenses exceeding USD 300 million annually, lost production time, and worker compensation.
Construction companies must ensure visibility while outside on busy roads and motorways. According to the Health and Safety Executive, more than 90 workers are seriously injured each year by mobile vehicles or plant on construction sites. These accidents could have been avoided, according to the agency.
A lot of dust is generated by construction activities like grinding, crushing, cutting and sanding. Non-fibrous silica and fibrous dust are the most hazardous types of dust. Due to increasing concerns about the protection of workers' respiratory systems, the share of respirator protective equipment was 7.7% in 2019.
To maintain a competitive edge on the market, the industry is focused on R&D activities that develop new technologies to manufacture products and integrate across various stages of the value-chain. The market players are actively involved in the development of innovative products that provide superior protection for workers who perform a variety of construction tasks.
