contributions of €141.8 million, €124.3 million, and €106.5% million, respectively, in 2019.
• The top 3 manufacturers hold a 48.5% market share by revenue. 3M leads the market with a share of 21-23%, followed by Honeywell with a
14-17% share and Uvex with and 9-11% revenue share. Investments into R&D to develop innovative products, coupled with strategic
acquisitions, remain a key driver for market growth in the forecast period.
• Partnerships are the way forward in the competitive market. For example, Schuberth entered into a partnership with 3M in 2016 to develop
head protection PPE. Similarly, Hex Armour entered into partnership with Uvex in 2017.
• Few notable M&As include 3M’s acquisition of Scott Safety in 2017, and Globus Group’s acquisition of ENHA Gmbh in 2017 and Alpha
