UAE Protective Clothing Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Type (Flame Retardant Apparel, Chemical Defending Garment, Cleanroom Clothing, Mechanical Protective Clothing, Limited General-Use Clothing), And By End-User Industry (Oil And Gas, Chemical, Pharmaceuticals, Aerospace And Defense, Healthcare, Government) - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

UAE protective clothing market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 3.26% over the forecast period to attain a market size of US$96.541 million in 2027, from US$77.116 million in 2020.  

The market is poised to grow on account of the rising manufacturing sector of the country. The UAE economy is growing, led by the growth of non-oil activities. The government continuously extends support to the local manufacturers without making the domestic trading environment uncompetitive. Significant growth in the manufacturing sector has resulted from the “Made in UAE” initiative, leading to the credibility of the country’s manufacturing sector. Thus, a significant increase in manufacturing activities is expected to ramp up the industrial activities throughout the country and thereby positively impact the market growth in the coming years.

Also, the dominant oil and gas sector and growing manufacturing industries, which include mining, construction, and power industries, are expected to positively impact the demand for these types of clothing in the country and add up to the market growth significantly. Furthermore, the growing oil and gas sector of the country also provides numerous opportunities for manufacturers to invest in the country and thus boost the market growth. According to the International Trade Administration, the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and its operating companies are planning to expand the crude oil output to 3.5 million barrels per day (bpd) by the end of 2020. The country further aims to maintain it until 2027. All these factors are anticipated to collectively contribute to the protective clothing market growth in the United Arab Emirates during the next forecast period and beyond.

COVID-19 SCENARIO

The government has been forced to create effective measures to stop the spread of the infection due to COVID-19's increasing prevalence across the nation. For instance, the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) used self-driving cars to deliver PPE kits, which included gloves, hand sanitizer, and masks, to the occupants and employees of a residential complex in Sharjah. Additionally, in partnership with Dubai Police, the 3D printing business Proto21 from Dubai produced 1,000 reusable 3D-printed face masks for the force's front-line officers. As a result, the market for protective clothing market in the UAE is booming.
