New forecast of the world’s personal protective equipment (PPE) market has identified sector growth potential in the Middle East over the next three years.

Research and consulting group Grand View Research says the moderate sector growth through to 2022 will follow increasing regulation of workplace safety, an uptick in workforce safety awareness and expansion within the region’s oil & gas sector. And the report says the market will take a major leap forward in the type of PPE being adopted with wearable technology making significant inroads.
