The U.S. law enforcement PPE market is expected to reach USD 1.18 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 5.0% in the forecast period. Surging expenditure on protective gear for law enforcement personnel is significantly boosting the market growth.
The use of personal protective equipment is rising to minimize exposure to hazards during active duty. This equipment is designed to offer protection against serious injuries from close contact with chemical, physical, or radiological hazards. The rising importance of on-duty safety precautions and safety gear is likely to propel the market growth in the forecast period.
Additionally, the number of active law enforcement personnel is expected to rise in the forecast period. Due to the increasing rate of violent crimes, assaults, and robberies catapulted by a surge in instability and distress, police and other law enforcement recruitment is expected to rise. This is also expected to facilitate the need for personal protective equipment.
Moreover, continuous increase in the annual budget by the government is expected to facilitate the expenditure on PPE and drive the growth of the market. For instance, for the financial year 2023, the budget provides USD 1.97 billion in funding for state and local enforcement, an increase of 12% over the year 2022.
The COVID-19 outbreak had a positive impact on the spending on personal protective equipment by the country's law enforcement such as local police, tactical forces, and state police. Demand for face shields, masks, protective clothing, hand, and eye protection equipment experienced a significant increase to protect during riot situations and from COVID infection.
Companies in the industry are actively in joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, product innovation, and new product launches to increase market penetration. Most prominently key players are investing in research of lightweight and high-strength materials to produce effective and comfortable gear for tactical work.
