U.K. PPE In Construction Market Growth & Trends

The U.K. PPE in construction market size is expected to reach USD 571.4 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030. The rising awareness regarding employee safety and health, coupled with increasing fatalities at workplace on account of lack of protection, is expected to drive the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE).

The construction companies in U.K. are focusing on worker safety as well as establishing safety guidelines to minimize workplace hazards that unfavorably affect the operational costs. In addition, increasing government investments in energy and infrastructure projects and rising awareness about employee safety is anticipated to augment the demand for PPE in construction.

The PPE market witnessed a change in the health and safety regulations in Europe. In 2016, the new regulation (EU) 2016/425 was replaced with the 25-year-old directive. The revised regulations include modern methods of marketing PPE and the changes in terms of production techniques as well as the technologies implemented.

The growing blue-collar workforce and decreasing PPE prices in U.K. are anticipated to augment the product demand in the country. Furthermore, increasing efforts by manufacturers to develop products with advanced technologies such as protective clothing for construction workers that provide high visibility, as well as SPF protection, is expected to complement growth.
