Abstract:

The occupational safety system covers many areas, one of which is the provision of workers with personal protective equipment (PPE). Increasing requirements for employee safety drive the rapid development of the PPE market, the introduction of innovations and fundamentally new technological solutions, and the integration of digital technologies. This article presents an analysis of the PPE market which made it possible to identify the general directions of innovative development, as well as the pace, scale, and institutional conditions for the implementation of new technologies. The structure of demand, the maturity level of digital infrastructure, the role of regulators and the involvement of the industrial sector in the modernization process, as well as regional specifics, were examined. An analysis of the commodity structure of the global PPE market was carried out. The study also focuses on trends in the development of the Russian PPE market, where demand for digital and 'smart' PPE is growing. General long-term development trends of this market have been identified.
