Disposable Gloves Market Growth & Trends

The global disposable gloves market size is expected to reach USD 16,772.4 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2023 to 2030. The high prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in North America and Asia Pacific, is projected to augment the demand for disposable gloves. The COVID-19 pandemic had boosted the demand for disposable gloves, which strained the supply chain, thus creating a shortage in the market. Furthermore, disposable glove manufacturers are expanding their production capacities to meet the growing demand, thereby improving the global supply chain over the past few months.

The rising awareness regarding employee health and safety, along with the increasing industrial fatalities in the emerging economies, is projected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. Technological advancement, coupled with the growing consumer need for disposable gloves in medical operations, is anticipated to complement the market growth. Distributors play a vital role in the market as the product manufacturers are dependent on the distributors to get their products to consumers. Globalization and consolidation of gloves manufacturers are anticipated to have a significant impact on the distributors, which is projected to compel them to broaden their horizons and look beyond the traditional boundaries.

Disposable Medical Gloves Market Growth & Trends

The global disposable medical gloves market size is anticipated to reach USD 12.44 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The global market is primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases and viral outbreaks coupled with increasing rising expenditure. Factors, such as growing investments in both public & private sectors, an increasing geriatric population, and a high influx of migrants coupled with the increasing healthcare expenditure are expected to boost the healthcare industry growth, which, in turn, will boost the product demand.

Increasing requirement of hand protective equipment by healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has boosted the demand for nitrile gloves across the globe. Hence, manufacturers such as Top Glove Corporation Bhd and Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd had to increase their manufacturing capacity to match global demand.

Rubber Gloves Market Growth & Trends

The global rubber gloves market size is expected to reach USD 18.28 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc, expanding at a CAGR of 3.9% over the forecast period. Rising government spending on healthcare in countries, such as Germany, Italy, India, Australia, and the U.K., is likely to boost industry expansion over the forecasted period. The global COVID-19 pandemic augmented the need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as gowns, gloves, face shields, and masks. Governments from across the world are coordinating with rubber glove makers to ensure enough supply in the market and avoid future virus spread.

Rising product usage in industries, such as automotive, oil & gas, construction, clean room, metal & equipment, and chemicals, is driving the industry growth. This is due to the presence of strong rules governing worker safety in numerous nations, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as well as the high expenses associated with workplace dangers. The product demand is predicted to increase as more food & beverage sector operators, such as bakeries, packaged goods, and restaurants, focus on making their products free of direct touch. This can be related to increased consumer awareness about food hygiene and the prevention of illnesses caused by food deterioration and misuse.

Increasing awareness among industry participants regarding the importance of worker safety and security at workplaces, on account of the stringent regulations and high costs associated with workplace hazards, is anticipated to drive industry growth. The importance of worker safety has significantly increased owing to the growing employment in industries across the Asia Pacific and the Middle East regions. Manufacturers in the market are seeking collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to expand their product lines and increase production capacity. They are also focusing on increasing their manufacturing facilities to accommodate rising demand from critical end-use industries, such as oil & gas, healthcare, and pharmaceutical.
