Personal protective equipment, or "PPE," is equipment worn to reduce exposure to risks that might result in significant workplace diseases and injuries. Contact with chemical, radioactive, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other job hazards may cause these wounds and illnesses. Items like gloves, safety goggles, shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard hats, respirators, or coveralls, vests, and full-body suits are examples of personal protection equipment.

PPE may also guard against exposure to substances or possibly infectious material brought in by visitors and healthcare personnel for patients who are at high risk of getting infections during surgery or who have a medical condition like immunodeficiency. It reduces the transfer of infection from one person to another when used correctly and in conjunction with other infection control techniques including hand washing, using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and covering coughs and sneezes. In order to effectively use PPE and avoid exposing the user and others to infection, soiled PPE must be removed and properly disposed of.

PPE with a guarantee of quality is still in high demand. UNICEF still plays a significant part in the distribution and purchase of PPE. In fact, as part of the COVID-19 response, UNICEF has sent more than 653.4 million PPE pieces to 140 countries since the pandemic started. This is made possible by funds earned from organisations like UNICEF's Humanitarian Action for Children Appeal and a gift given to the ACT-A Supplies Financing Facility by the Danish government (ACT-A SFF).

US Personal Protective Equipment Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
