Hazmat suits are also known as chemical suits, biohazard suits, and anti-radiation suits. They are personal protective equipment which provides protection against chemical and biological hazards. The rising cases of Ebola are one of the key factors driving the hazmat suits market. In August 2018, as per data by M?decins Sans Fronti?res, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faced by far the country's largest-ever Ebola outbreak with the number of cases passing 2,700. It is also the second-biggest Ebola epidemic ever recorded, behind the West Africa outbreak of 2014?2016. Various other factors such as the rising number of nuclear power plants across the globe and increased work safety are also expected to propel the growth of the market.
