LONDON, March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- This Market
Insight explores the specific impacts of industrial automation on
different PPE markets across select industries and geographical
regions. Industrial automation has an overall negative impact on
PPE markets, which leads to decline in workforce demographics. It
also minimizes occupational hazards. This study assesses the
current and future automation trends across the following 6
industries, which are also the main end users of PPE:
manufacturing, mining, construction, power and utilities, oil and,
gas and transportation and storage. The base year for this research
is 2014.
Key Findings
-Industrial automation is expected to have a low negative impact on
the overall PPE market during the forecast period, which will
increase steadily and have a more visible impact in approximately
years time.
-The degree of impact will vary across regions, industries, and PPE
segments; however, in general, manufacturing is currently the most
automated industrial sector. Transportation and storage remains the
fastest growing area for industrial automation, which is expected
to have a moderate negative impact on PPE usage in this
industry.
-In general, automation in industries of developing economies focus
on improving labor productivity while those in developed economies
aim to improve worker safety.
-Industries of developed economies are characterized by a high
degree of automation, and any possible impact on industry
employment levels remains limited. The focus in these regions is to
make the machines and the work environment safer for employees and
cut down on litigation costs due to workplace-related injuries.
-In developing economies, automation is expected to play a major
role in improving labor productivity and causing a slowdown in
employment growth. This is likely to have a moderate negative
impact on the PPE market in the manufacturing and transportation
and storage industries of these regions.
-Head protection, protective gloves, and protective clothing are
the major PPE segments in which market revenue growth is expected
to be restrained by industrial automation.
-The negative impact of industrial automation is expected to be
offset by increasingly strict regulatory environments, rising
awareness levels, and compliance to PPE, which will continue to
positively influence PPE market revenues across the globe.
