In terms of value, the North America personal protective equipment market is estimated to grow from USD 24.62 billion in 2025 to USD 31.85 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.28%. The North America Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) market is growing consistently because the region has strict safety controls, and the workplace risk awareness is increasing in the manufacturing, construction, oil & gas, and healthcare industries. The strong culture of worker safety, as well as strict compliance requirements, is also fostering growth by driving the rapid adoption of new high-performance PPE, including smart wearables, ergonomically designed protective clothing, and improved respiratory protection. Additionally, procurement cycles are being reinforced by the reshoring of industrial activity, increased infrastructure spending, and long-term demand from the health and emergency response sectors. The ongoing development of new materials, the incorporation of IoT-based monitoring, and the establishment of a well-developed distribution channel enable manufacturers to achieve maximum output, minimize operational risks, and enhance their presence in the regional PPE market.

The dominant strategies prevailing in the North America personal protective equipment market are new product launches and geographic expansion. Companies such as Radians, Inc.
