The significant patient pool suffering from chronic diseases is increasing the number of surgeries in the European region, which is increasing the need for PPE kits and contributing to the growth of the European PPE market. According to an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, an estimated 50 million people in Europe were suffering from more than one chronic disease in Europe in 2017. In European countries, nearly 1.14 million cesarean surgeries were performed in 2020.

Europe is one of the regions affected significantly by COVID-19, and the market for PPE in the European region has seen a spike in market growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The growing usage of PPE in hospitals and clinics across the European region promotes the PPE market in Europe. Due to the coronavirus pandemic recently, most hospitals have taken strict precautions against the spread of the coronavirus by wearing personal protection kits, which include body suits, masks, gloves, goggles, and others. Along with doctors, staff working at hospitals and clinics continued wearing personal protection kits during the peak days of COVID-19.

The growing aging population among European countries is anticipated to contribute to the European PPE market growth. According to Eurostat, 20.8% of the European population aged above 65 years in 2021. Treating older people suffering from chronic wounds needs more hygiene as they are more prone to infections in their surroundings. Additionally, different types of equipment have been designed especially for older people to use while going out with advanced technology to reduce the risk of several infections.

Growing personalized and disposable equipment manufacturing activities is estimated to promote market growth. Disposable equipment is most used by many, which helps reduce infections and rewash processes. However, Rewashing requires different types of solid liquids, which may harm the hands while washing. Along with this, most key players also manufacture the equipment with customization. So, everyone can comfortably use this equipment to avoid risky situations.

However, high costs associated with the PPE kits, lack of awareness regarding the availability of the different types of PPE equipment, and reduction in demand due to decreasing COVID-19 cases are anticipated to hamper the growth rate of the PPE market in the European region.
