Projections of Demand and Estimates of Global Production of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Equipment
This report focusses on the global supply and demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract
This report focusses on the global supply and demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes current production of PPE and projections of demand over the next few years. Findings from this review show that the demand for PPE in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic far outstrips supply and that there is a huge need for escalating global production as COVID-19 evolves and has spread across the world.
This report was prepared for the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and its partners in support of pro-poor programmes
