Used extensively in technical clothing, industrial protective fabrics protect workers from the workplace and environmental hazards in oil and gas facilities and other high-risk environments. Over the years, the production of oil and gas has gained momentum, especially in North America. Based on BP statistics, oil production in the region rose from 14,345 thousand barrels per day to 23,940 thousand barrels per day from 2011 to 2021. This increasing production capacity will encourage workers to use reliable protective industrial apparel to safeguard from potential dangers.

Despite the upward trajectory, the availability of duplicates and low-quality industrial PPE fabrics may assert a negative influence on product manufacturers. Furthermore, the increased requirement for advanced and quality protective clothing results in high manufacturing costs, thereby creating roadblocks to industry expansion. However, consumers are gaining more awareness about the benefits of industrial fabrics, including protection against cuts, chemicals, abrasions, and punctures. The construction of manufacturing facilities and industrial operations will therefore present lucrative growth opportunities for the industrial protective fabrics market over the estimated timeline.

Based on the raw material, industrial protective fabrics market value from the aramid segment is set to depict a 10% CAGR through 2032. The adoption of aramid fabrics is growing due to their low flammability, abrasion resistance, non-conductivity, super fabric integrity at high temperatures, and low weight. Investments of chemicals providers in facility expansion projects are also rising rapidly worldwide. For instance, in July 2022, BASF made a USD 780 million commitment to expanding its Louisiana MDI manufacturing complex. Such factors will stimulate the use of industrial fibers such as aramid in protective gear for chemical plant workers since it can provide superior protection against chemical splashes.

Industrial protective fabrics market size from the fireman suit application segment is expected to be worth over USD 4 billion by 2032. Firemen suit fabrics are designed to offer three-layer protection, and generally include a moisture barrier and outer shell. Their thermal layer also ensures air circulation, moisture resistance, and chemical protection. With the increasing requirement for flame-resistant PEE in the construction, oil and gas, military, mining, and chemical industries, the usage of protective fabrics in firemen suits will thus surge globally.

Healthcare and laboratories segment will depict over 9% CAGR through 2023-2032, on account of the strong demand for PPE in medical labs and other healthcare facilities. Protective clothing is used mainly to safeguard workers against blood splashes, pathogen penetration, and infectious body fluids. The high risk of infectious disease transmission is likely to encourage the consumption of protective fabrics in the design of PPE for healthcare applications.
