Global Disposable Gloves Market Overview

The main function of disposable gloves is to protect both consumers and service providers from infections. The gloves prevent cross-contamination, reduce the risk of contact with pathogens, and mitigates contamination caused by humidity and external agents. Disposable gloves are made up of polyethylene, natural rubber, and nitrile which have anti-tear properties and provide better resistance to chemicals.Because of these advantages, disposable gloves are widely used in medical examinations, surgical procedures, food handling, and chemical processes. The gloves can also be used for cleaning up everyday spills and messes around the house.

Growth Drivers

Offers Protection from Germs and Harmful Pathogens

Disposable gloves are crucial for protecting employees from injuries in many industries, such as construction, automotive, oil and gas, and metal fabrication. A disposable glove provides many benefits, including protection against hot objects, splinters, bodily fluids, sharp edges, vibration, electricity, and extremely cold temperatures. Chemical and petrochemical industries have seen a significant increase in the demand for disposable gloves, owing to their application in laboratories and chemical processes. Furthermore, there have been growing concerns about employee safety, and initiatives to reduce injury rates in manufacturing facilities, which are likely to drive the demand for protective gloves in the coming years.

Rise in Number of Surgeries Driving Demand for Disposable Medical Gloves

One of the reasons contributing to the growth of the disposable gloves market is the rising cases of surgical procedures across the world. Surgery is crucial to the cure of a wide spectrum of diseases and the alleviation of human suffering. Healthcare professionals, doctors, and nurses use medical gloves during surgeries and other health-related activities that are transmissible and can be contagious. Additionally, the number of invasive surgeries has been increased drastically across the world.  The increase in the number of such surgeries is expected to increase the demand for medical disposable gloves across the world in the foreseeable future.

Restraints

Allergic Reactions to Latex May Hamper the Market Growth

The majority of disposable gloves are made from natural latex. Yet, latex allergy continues to be a significant barrier to the use of organic rubber in the medical and food manufacturing industries. Latex allergies can cause itchy skin, hives, or even anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal condition characterized by difficulty breathing and swelling of the throat. Moreover, compared to other products, disposable gloves require a high level of capital due to the high price of raw materials and the complexity of manufacturing processes.

Impact of COVID-19 in the Global Disposable Gloves Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on the global disposable gloves market as disposable gloves have become an integral part of personal protective equipment (PPE) kits.Healthcare professionals involved in collecting specimens have become accustomed to wearing gloves due to the wide spreading of the deadly coronavirus. These are worn to protect against infection. Additionally, the rising incidence of contagious diseases and the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to boost the growth of the disposable gloves market in the near future.

Global Disposable Gloves Market: By Product

Based on products, the global disposable gloves market has been segmented into Powdered, and Powder-free. Among these, the powder-free product segment dominated the global disposable gloves market and accounted for the largest market revenue share in 2020. Several governments worldwide have imposed strict rules and regulations on the use of powdered gloves, which have extensively contributed to the growth of the powder-free glovessegment. Powder-free gloves are preferred by several industries, including chemical, medical, food processing, and others, and this trend will drive the growth of the segment in the coming years.

Global Disposable Gloves Market: By Material

Based on materials, the global disposable gloves market is grouped into Polyethylene, Natural Rubber, and Nitrile. Among these, the Natural Rubber segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020. Natural rubber-based products have been found to perform better and to offer better protection in many applications like pharmaceuticals, medical and dental. However, the allergy caused by the natural latex acts as a restraint in the growth of this segment. This is hindering the penetration of natural rubber products in the medical and food industries.
