Personal Protective Equipment for Infection Control Market Size
The global personal protective equipment for infection control market size was valued at USD 21 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at 3.7% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. The personal protective equipment market for infection control covers the protective gear aimed at preventing the spread of infectious diseases, particularly in high-risk environments such as hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and industrial settings.
The ongoing and growing demand for personal protective equipment to shield patients and healthcare practitioners is owing to their rising incidences of COVID-19, influenza, and even other infectious diseases. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that there are around a billion cases of seasonal influenza every year, with 3 to 5 million of those ending in severe illness. This illustrates the importance of PPE and the reason for healthcare workers needing endless access to it during disease outbreaks.
Moreover, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the WHO are examples of bodies tasked with setting infection control measures that must be adhered to the use of PPE in the healthcare system. For instance, the CDC’s infection prevention guidelines for the year 2023 makes specific provision on the use of some PPE such as N95 respirators for aerosol generating procedures and protective eyewear for splash risk situations. These regulations make sure that all healthcare facilities provide the same level of protection.
Moreover, antimicrobial textiles and advanced ergonomic features in PPE materials and configuration makes protective equipment more comfortable and effective, thus fuelling the uptake for these products. For instance, Brookhaven National Laboratory's January 2023 article stated that researchers have made antimicrobial cottons by embedding copper (Cu) ions into the molecular structure of cotton fiber. The approach uses Cu ions that have strong bonds with cellulose molecules. The resultant textiles are antiviral, antibacterial, durable for wearing, and washable. These improvements in technology are greatly increasing the wearer's overall comfort while still providing the necessary level of protection during prolonged usage.
