• Colombia has more than 23 million active workers and a broad business 
network in high-risk sectors: construction, oil and gas, mining, energy, 
manufacturing, logistics, and agribusiness.

•The PPE market in the country exceeds USD 600 million annually and is 
projected to grow by approximately 6-7% annually, driven by industrial 
modernization and foreign investment.

• Leading international companies already operate in the country, 
demonstrating its attractiveness as a hub for the Andean region.

air and sea connectivity to Central America, the Caribbean, 
and the Andean Region.

• Free trade agreements with the U.S., the European Union, and the 
Pacific Alliance (Mexico, Peru, and Chile) reduce tariff barriers for 
the import and export of PPE.

• Bogotá and Medellín are home to regional logistics hubs, from which 
equipment is distributed to other countries in the region.

• Expansion of the infrastructure and construction 
sectors (5G megaprojects, renewable energy, sustainable mining).

• Increased investment by companies in workplace 
well-being and accident reduction as a competitive advantage.

• Growing interest in technological PPE: wearables, 
smart clothing, and IoT solutions for safety monitoring.
