Importance of personal protective equipment market

Major stakeholders in the area of textile industry, protective equipment manufacture as well as users of PPE products and public procurement experts in the field have contributed providing data for a detailed market description and suggestions to support the development of the market. There is general agreement among consulted stakeholders that this is an area presenting a significant potential for global market leadership of European companies based on important scientific and technological development. Industry, academia and research stakeholders agree on the need to stimulate cooperation between companies as well as with purchasers and users, on the importance of reliable technical information to drive purchase decisions and on the leverage effect of public procurement on market demand for innovative goods. Public authorities, purchasers and users participated in January 2007 at a conference organised by the European Commission on the textiles & clothing sector and public procurement. The event devoted a session to public procurement and innovation, where users and innovative companies presented their views and previous experience. EU textile and clothing industry, together with the research community and academia, have actively contributed to the analysis of LMI and proposed future activities. Industry recognises the project of LMI as a progression towards stimulating more sophisticated market demand where EU industry would be in a privileged position, developing a competitive advantage with potential for expanding these innovations to large spill-over markets.
