Rising Adoption of E-Commerce Sales Channel Fuels the Asia Pacific Industrial PPE Market

The organized global retail sector distribution network has undergone a massive transformation recently. Rise in penetration of smartphones and the internet, easy access to emerging technologies, upsurge in purchasing power, and convenience provided by online retail shopping platforms from anywhere at any time are among the major factors bolstering the adoption of e-commerce worldwide. Manufacturers operating in the industry are constantly partnering with online retailers such as Amazon and Alibaba to deliver bulk industrial products such as personal protective equipment to industries and individual consumers.

The increasing penetration of online shopping has encouraged manufacturers to sell products directly-to-customer (D2C) by launching their own online retail sites, eliminating the need to invest in expensive marketing and distribution infrastructure. Through these websites, manufacturers take bulk orders from end-use industries and sell products to customers. Thus, the consumers' increasing dependency on e-commerce services and the adoption of the D2C strategy by manufacturers are expected to open lucrative opportunities for the industrial personal protective equipment (PPE) market in the coming years.
