UK Protective Clothing & Equipment Market Likely to Remain Fairly Flat at Constant Prices to 2011.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c56769) has announced the addition of Protective Clothing & Equipment Market Report 2006 to their offering. This report values the apparent UK market for protective clothing and equipment (including workwear Noun 1. workwear - heavy-duty clothes for manual or physical work apparel, clothes, wearing apparel, dress - clothing in general; "she was refined in her choice of apparel"; "he always bought his clothes at the same store"; "fastidious about his dress" ) at PS794.3m at manufacturers' selling prices (msp) in 2005. A value of PS807.7m is forecast for 2006. Workwear and protective clothing is the largest sector of the market. The market also includes: head, face, eye and hearing protection; medical and industrial gloves; industrial footwear; respiratory protection and breathing apparatus; and other protective equipment, such as fall-arrest equipment and lifejackets. Much of this market comes under the heading of personal protective equipment (PPE PPE (Brit) n abbr (Univ) (= philosophy, politics, and economics) → Studiengang bestehend aus Philosophie, Politologie und Volkswirtschaft PPE n abbr (BRIT ) (SCOL ), as defined by EU regulations, but the report also includes workwear that is worn mainly for corporate identification. Certain sectors of the market have been boosted by legislation in 2005 and 2006. Since July 2006, for example, cargo ships have been required to carry immersion suits for all people on board. New legislation concerning working at height came into force in April 2005, and it has been estimated that 1.1 million extra workers may now require hearing protection as a result of legislation introduced in April 2006. Over the past decade, the pattern of UK employment has shifted strongly towards the service industries and away from manufacturing. This has caused a decline in demand for traditional workwear. However, there has been growth in sales of protective products and there is substantial, reliable demand from the construction industry, the police and the fire services

Manufacturing of safety and protective footwear and high-volume workwear has, to a large extent, left the UK. Suppliers of these products now either have their own factories in low-cost countries overseas or else outsource the manufacturing of products designed to their specifications. There are plenty of successful UK manufacturers of PPE and protective clothing, but they concentrate on high-tech, specialist and bespoke be·spoke v.

From this position, the UK footwear sector opposed the extension of heavy `anti-dumping' tariffs on Chinese leather footwear, but ultimately it was unsuccessful in this goal. The positive and negative influences on the UK market for protective clothing and equipment are forecast to continue between 2007 and 2011, and the total market is likely to remain fairly flat at constant prices. There will, however, be some growth in sales at current prices.
