Driving Factors

Healthcare personnel are shielded from contagious illnesses by disposable gloves. Surgeons, medical staff, and patients all run the risk of contracting an infection during operations. Medical gloves help guard against cross-contamination for doctors and other healthcare professionals. Disposable medical gloves are sold through both direct and indirect channels, including shops and distributors, as well as online sales and social media marketing. Manufacturers use multi-brand merchants, exclusive distributors, and independent distributors to distribute their goods. The increase in cases of infectious diseases, which is also being accompanied by an increase in surgical procedures, is the main factor driving this market's growth. Another reason that is projected to raise the demand for latex medical gloves in healthcare institutions is the risk of spreading germs and blood-borne illnesses.

Restraining Factors

To minimise further expenditures, a few businesses, however, distribute the products directly to businesses, hospitals, commercial organisations, and individuals. The production of disposable medical gloves requires a disproportionate amount of capital due to the high costs of raw materials and the intricate manufacturing processes. The industry's major raw material suppliers have merged along the value chain to create disposable medical gloves, boosting competitiveness. As initial capital investments are likely to represent a major entry barrier for new market participants, the threat of new entrants is anticipated to remain low.

Market Segmentation

• In 2021, the Natural Rubber Material segment holds the largest market share over the forecast period.

On the basis of material, the global disposable gloves market is segmented into Natural Rubber, Nitrile. Among these, the Natural Rubber Material segment holds the largest market share over the forecast period. Natural rubber or latex disposable medical gloves are employed in applications like surgery and medical procedures because they are tactile. They are also comfortable to wear and flexible, which makes them ideal for working with biological or water-based materials. Over the projection period, all of these factors are anticipated to increase their demand. Vinyl disposable gloves are constructed of polyvinyl chloride and plasticizers and are devoid of latex. Where frequent glove changes are necessary or for short-term jobs where comfort is not a priority, vinyl gloves are the perfect answer. Over the projection period, it is anticipated that rising demand for antimicrobial and FDA-approved gloves will propel segment expansion.

• In 2021, the Examination segment accounted the largest market share over the forecast period.

Based on the application, the global disposable gloves market is segmented into Examination, Surgical. Among these, the Examination segment accounted the largest market share over the forecast period. Industry growth is anticipated to be fueled by rising demand for these products in the medical sector due to increased demand in hospitals, dental applications for routine exams, and patient visits. Exam gloves are used by doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals during non-invasive physical examinations to prevent patient and staff cross-contamination. The COVID-19's return is anticipated to increase demand for the examination gloves that frontline healthcare workers use for testing and examination reasons, accelerating the industry's growth.

• In 2021, the Hospital segment holds the highest market share over the forecast period.

On the basis of end use, the global disposable gloves market is segmented into Hospital, Home Healthcare. Among these, the Hospital segment holds the highest market share over the forecast period. The market for these goods is projected to increase because to the rapidly expanding geriatric population, particularly in industrialised nations, as well as the increased prevalence of hospital-acquired and other illnesses, including hepatitis and AIDS. The demand for products in the hospital end-use segment is projected to be driven by the rising incidence of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs), such as surgical site infection, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and bloodstream infection. Additionally, it is anticipated that the ageing population and an increase in chronic health issues will fuel industry expansion.
