Cases of the new coronavirus disease continue to mount, and rapidly increasing demands of the pandemic are threatening the health systems globally. In recent times, the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) comprising of protective gowns, face shields, surgical masks, protective goggles, and disposable gloves is witnessing a significant increase as the disease spreads beyond China – the epicenter of COVID-19 outbreak. Moreover, strong governments’ focus on stockpiling of PPE and about a hundredfold [surge in demand are early warning](https://www.financedigest.com/chinese-fret-over-elderly-as-who-warns-of-holiday-covid-surge.html "Chinese fret over elderly as WHO warns of holiday COVID surge") signs of product shortage that may be on the horizon.

**Health Organizations Provide Guidelines on Rational Use of PPE to Bridge Demand-Supply Gap**

Recognizing the widespread use of [personal protective equipment](https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/personal-protective-equipment-market) outside patient care by common citizens to safeguard themselves from COVID-19, stakeholders in the supply chain are leveraging this opportunity to raise the competitive price of their products. Despite significant efforts to increase production capacities, supplies are stagnating and the market situation has become severe, mainly due to prolonged closure of factories in China. Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) has [warned severe and plunging disruptions to the global](https://www.financedigest.com/global-economic-crisis-strangling-progress-for-poor-warns-u-n-development-chief.html "Global economic crisis strangling progress for poor, warns U.N. development chief") supply of PPE – driven by misusing, panic buying, and stockpiling – is putting lives at risks of both healthcare workers and patients.

As the inappropriate use and supply shortage of PPE continues, the WHO has put forth several strategies to facilitate optimal PPE availability and normalize the supply chain. Using telemedicine to evaluate suspected [cases of COVID-19 and physical barriers to reduce exposure and restricting healthcare workers](https://www.financedigest.com/amazon-loses-bid-to-throw-out-case-by-uk-drivers-seeking-worker-rights.html "Amazon loses bid to throw out case by UK drivers seeking worker rights") who are not involved in direct care from coming in contact with COVID-19 patients are likely to minimize the need for PPE. The rationalized use and distribution of PPE along with rapid response to curb the spread of disease is thus expected to bridge the widening gap between supply and demand for PPE.

North America and Europe remained key [markets for personal protective](https://www.financedigest.com/eus-planned-reforms-aim-to-better-protect-power-bills-from-market-swings.html "EU’s planned reforms aim to better protect power bills from market swings") equipment for both medical and industrial applications with major players expanding their presence in developing Asian Pacific countries such as China and India. Rapid industrialization, low operation cost and cheap labor in these countries have been securing a [steady supply chain for global market](https://www.financedigest.com/the-non-invasive-ventilation-masks-and-circuits-market-to-show-innovation-based-steadiness.html "The Non-invasive Ventilation Masks and Circuits Market to show innovation-based steadiness") stakeholders. However, the scenario is drastically changing amidst the [outbreak of coronavirus and subsequent lockdown of factories](https://www.financedigest.com/nestle-closes-french-buitoni-factory-hit-by-e-coli-outbreak.html "Nestle closes French Buitoni factory hit by E.coli outbreak"). As the U.S. is facing a historic surge in patients seeking care of COVID-19, the government is using federal powers to force local companies to manufacture, urging other countries to accelerate the production of PPE, and seeking to purchase any quantities major PPE-producing countries can spare.

China’s new restrictions on coronavirus-related [medical supplies including personal protective equipment](https://www.financedigest.com/philips-subsidiary-to-pay-over-24-million-for-alleged-false-claims-for-medical-equipment.html "Philips subsidiary to pay over million for alleged false claims for medical equipment") – that allows only those manufacturers with accreditation to sell their products with China to export to other countries – came amid growing concerns about quality of various Chinese medical products. However, the country promises to [lift](https://www.financedigest.com/u-s-cdc-lifts-covid-do-not-travel-recommendations-on-about-90-countries.html "U.S. CDC lifts COVID ‘Do Not Travel’ recommendations on about 90 countries") the restrictions as several countries are still battling COVID-19 with massive shortfall of essential medical supplies. This, in turn, is expected to influence the [growth prospects of the global personal protective equipment market](https://www.financedigest.com/refurbished-dental-equipment-maintenance-market-study-offering-deep-insight-related-to-growth-trends-until-2031.html " Refurbished Dental Equipment & Maintenance Market Study Offering Deep Insight Related to Growth Trends Until 2031").

**COVID-19 Redirects the Application Scope of Personal Protective Equipment**

Governments and health organizations worldwide are increasingly collaborating with manufacturers and suppliers to meet the PPE supply-demand gap. However, these manufacturers are facing significant hurdles due to unavailability of raw materials and outbound logistics amidst expansive lockdown of airlines and restrictions on export activities. In addition to taking critical decisions to normalize the situation, manufacturers are [currently stopping the production of industrial](https://www.financedigest.com/olefinic-thermoplastic-elastomers-2022-outlook-current-and-future-industry-landscape-analysis-2025.html "Olefinic Thermoplastic Elastomers  2022 Outlook, Current and Future Industry Landscape Analysis 2025") PPE such as industrial safety, chemical resistant gloves, and welding helmets and focusing on products for medical applications.

Post supply chain normalization, the demand for PPE will [continue to grow in line with increasing mining activities and infrastructural development](https://www.financedigest.com/southampton-development-continues-to-excite-local-investors.html "SOUTHAMPTON DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO EXCITE LOCAL INVESTORS").
