Quality Improvements to Safeguard the Interests of the Chinese Personal Protective Equipment Market
BEIJING--(Business Wire)--
The Chinese Government is increasingly emphasizing working safety
issues and strictly enforcing safety laws, compelling enterprises to
offer personal protection equipment (PPE) to their employees. Rising
safety concerns as well as workers' awareness of their rights to a
safe working environment and self-protection is catalyzing this trend.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan
(http://www.materials.frost.com), Chinese Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) Markets, finds that the market earned revenues of
$7,909.4 million in 2007 and estimates this to reach $23,137.0 million
in 2014.

"With self-protection education, public campaigns, and media
advocacy, the awareness of self-protection has improved among
workers," says Frost & Sullivan Consulting Analyst Vivian Chen.
"Increased penetration of enhanced protective clothing and gloves
further aids the growth of this market."
PPE manufacturers can attract more end users by improving their
existing products and introducing new ones through sustained research
and development. They have to offer high-quality and trouble-free
products to ensure that neither workers' safety is compromised nor the
enterprise's reputation is diminished.
"Quality assurance is important and this process should be
implemented in the entire production line and supply network," notes
Chen. "Customers should also be informed of the replacement of overdue
PPE products in the market to maintain sustained demand."
Currently, the highly fragmented and competitive Chinese PPE
market is experiencing an influx of foreign companies, which are keen
to participate in the high-end segment. PPE participants are offering
lower prices and differentiating their products to win more customers,
especially in the high-end market.
Although manufacturers are facing stiff challenges from issues
such as inferior products, price sensitivity, and inefficient
revisions of regulations and laws, the introduction of sophisticated
technology is expected to significantly boost the market.
It is suggested that manufacturers announce the improvements for
high-end product among potential customers if they want to enhance the
utilization ratio. At present, most low-end enterprises show low
compliance with health and safety laws, while the inadequate safety
consciousness of the poorly educated laborers in the mining, heavy
metal, and chemical industries serves as another deterrent.
"The Chinese PPE users need to be informed of the correct
application of PPE through education and public campaigns," remarks
Chen. "It is essential that market participants devise a method to
make them realize the requirement for PPE to push up sales revenue."
