Major importers include healthcare providers, industrial companies, and emergency services globally, particularly in North America and Europe. Exporters are typically countries with strong manufacturing capabilities for technical textiles and garment production, such as China, India, and parts of Southeast Asia. Key aspects of trade involve adherence to safety and hygiene standards, especially for medical applications, and the ability to produce cost-effective, high-volume items.
