1. Basic situation of China’s special protective workwear market.

Labor protection work clothes refer to work clothes that can protect the wearer from possible damage caused by the presence of certain dangerous materials, dangerous elements, dangerous events, dangerous processes and other factors in the living or working place.

Protective work clothes are divided into two categories: general protective clothing and special protective clothing according to their purpose and protective performance.

Calculated based on the average unit price of RMB 80 per set, the total amount is approximately RMB 15 billion. The annual demand for special protective clothing accounts for about 35% of all protective work clothes, approximately more than 63 million sets. Among them, anti-static clothing is the largest, accounting for about 40% of the annual demand for special protective clothing, about 25 million sets; followed by acid-base chemical protective clothing, the annual demand for special protective clothing is 35% of the total demand %, about 22 million sets; the annual demand for fire-resistant clothing is about 20% of the total demand for special protective clothing, about 13 million sets; the smaller amount is anti-static wool knitted clothing, the annual demand is about It is about 500,000 units.

China is a market with a large demand for special protective clothing and is also a country that produces a large number of special protective clothing. According to incomplete statistics, China has obtained a national industrial product production license. There are nearly 200 companies that can produce fire-proof clothing, acid-base chemical protective clothing, anti-static clothing, and anti-static woolen knitted clothing, distributed in 21 countries across the country.This will further enhance the technical content of domestic special protective clothing and achieve the alliance goal of common progress in R&D, production and sales.

4. Special protective clothing with high technological content will continue to lead the protective clothing market

Protective clothing and protective fibers from international giants such as DuPont and Lakeland in the United States, such as NOMEX fire-resistant fabrics and PROTERA arc-proof fabrics, have fire protection, heat insulation or protection against molten metal splashing Newspaper and other varieties will be promoted and applied in the market. Protective clothing made of functional fibers will become the mainstream of development because it does not affect the protective performance after repeated washing. Special protective clothing made with post-processing treatment will also continue to be welcomed by the market

5. The marketing of special protective clothing will be a continuous direct sales and agency model

The marketing model of special protective clothing will continue to be direct sales to end users and sales through commercial distribution channels. However, the share through commercial circulation sales channels will expand. Special protective clothing manufacturers should constantly adjust their marketing models according to changes in market consumer groups during the marketing process, but such adjustments should maintain the normal order of market competition and not harm the interests of other companies and users.

6. Strengthening cooperation with international brands is a win-win move to enhance China’s national brand and quality

As the international economy recovers, the export volume of protective clothing produced in China will also increase along with the economic recovery. Through cooperation with international brands, whether it is purchasing their advanced fabrics or finishing their work clothes, the quality management, marketing, user guidance and other aspects of the company will be improved through cooperation, allowing the company to make further progress.

7. Actively participate in the formulation (revision) of national standards for special protective clothing

Special protective clothing enterprises must continue to implement existing national standards and combine with international standard requirements to put forward new inspection and testing requirements, constantly improve and supplement the deficiencies of existing standards and the requirements for those that have not yet been listed. Propose labeling recommendations for special protective clothing and formulate group standards based on the national standardization reform plan.

8. Strengthen market supervision of special protective clothing, ban and crack down on the inflow of unlicensed products into the market

Special protective clothing production and operation enterprises must make full use of legal weapons and report the illegal sales of unlicensed enterprise products to government authorities. Industry associations will appeal to government authorities through various forms to create an orderly market for special protective clothing for enterprises as much as possible.
