The Americas dominated the global market for hazmat suits owing to the increase in the number of nuclear plants, and growth in the number of pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries. According to the World Nuclear Association, the US is the world's largest producer of nuclear power, accounting for more than 30% of worldwide nuclear generation of electricity. Moreover, according to the US Energy Information Administration, as of June 18, 2019, there are 59 commercially operating nuclear power plants with 97 nuclear reactors in 29 of the US states. Additionally, increasing initiatives taken by the US-based manufacturers to develop effective chemical protective suits. For instance, DuPont has introduced ProShield FR, which has been designed as a disposable suit that helps protect primary flame-resistant clothing worn underneath.

In 2018, it was estimated that Europe stood second in the Hazmat Suits Market. Increasing safety awareness among people and strict government guidelines are driving the growth of the market in European region. Germany commanded the largest share in the European market for hazmat suits due to the increasing need for protection against both the chemical and biological hazardous waste materials.

Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to represent the fastest growth in hazmat suits throughout the forecast period due to an increase in the end use applications of hazmat suits and an increase in the economic activities in this region. Countries in Asia-Pacific are adopting advanced waste management practices; this in turn fuels the market growth in this region. Moreover, China is a hub for the manufacturing companies of Level C and D type of hazmat suits. This is expected to have a positive impact on market growth.

On the other hand, the Middle East & Africa holds the least share in the Hazmat Suits Market due to the low economic development, especially within the African region.
