The United States continued to heavily rely on imports for personal protective equipment in 2024, with top suppliers including China, Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Despite a moderate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.9% from 2020 to 2024, the market saw a notable growth rate of 4.2% from 2023 to 2024. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a market concentration among these key exporting countries, emphasizing the importance of diversifying supply chains for PPE to ensure resilience and stability in the face of global disruptions.

The United States Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Market is estimated to register a healthy CAGR of 8.90% during the forecast period (2026–2032). The country’s PPE market size was valued at USD 12,758.6 million and is projected to reach USD 18,945.4 million by 2025. Growing awareness about workplace safety due to stringent regulations imposed on employers, along with rising demand from various end-use industries including construction, healthcare, manufacturing, and oil & gas, are some of the major factors driving the growth of the US PPE market over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing investments in research and development activities aimed at developing advanced protective technology products with enhanced comfort levels have further contributed to market growth in recent years. However, the availability of counterfeit products from several low-cost manufacturers could hinder market growth across the North America region during the 2026–2032 outlook period.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
