Driving Factors

Over the projection period, wash gloves demand in developed economies is anticipated to be driven by their application in spas and other hospitality-related settings. In the United States, the healthcare application segment held the highest share in 2022 because of strong product penetration in the healthcare industry to reduce pathogen and germ transmission in healthcare facilities. Over the projection period, the U.S. market will be driven by the increasing demand for hypoallergenic, alcohol, and paraben-free wash gloves that are also hypoallergenic and dermatologically verified. Since more than 50% of people in the area have sensitive skin and have tested positive for one or more allergies, simple cleaning with non-soaped wash gloves is no longer sufficient. Also, the development of improved medical care goods and technology as well as the adoption of new practices in the healthcare and medical sectors are anticipated to have a favorable effect on the usage of medical services throughout the world. Additionally, the growing disposable income in emerging nations is anticipated to enable consumers to access sophisticated healthcare services and use upgraded goods, which is anticipated to increase spending in the healthcare sector.

Restraining Factors

The cost of raw materials used in the production of disposable non-woven products, such as petroleum-based polymers, can be subject to significant fluctuations. Volatile raw material prices can impact the profitability of manufacturers and affect the overall affordability of disposable non-woven items for consumers. Economic downturns or uncertain economic conditions can influence consumer spending patterns. During times of economic instability, consumers may prioritize essential needs over disposable non-woven products, leading to restrict demand and market growth.

Market Segmentation

• In 2022 the pre-soaped product segment is influencing the market with the largest market share during the forecast period.

Based on the product, the global disposable non-woven market is segmented into non-soaped and pre-soaped. Among these segments, the pre-soaped product segment is dominating the market with the largest revenue share during the forecast period. Soft nonwoven disposable gloves that are pre-soaped or unsoaped are commonly used in medical settings for thorough cleaning of body parts. Additionally, pre-soaped nonwoven disposable gloves are frequently utilized in healthcare settings, where there is a significant danger of cross-contamination and hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Pre-soaped wash gloves are used as warm and cold items that may be heated in a microwave or chilled in a refrigerator. Over the projected period, the sector is likely to be driven by rising demand for pre-soaped gloves used to clean extra-sensitive skin during radiation therapy.

• In 2022, the spunlace technology segment is dominating the largest market share over the forecast period.

On the basis of technology, the global disposable non-woven market is classified into spunlace and needle-punched. Among this spunlace technology, the segment is dominating the market. This method gives nonwoven materials a superior absorbency, a high strength-to-weight ratio, a soft, uniform surface, and outstanding processability. Additionally, it provides disposable lint-free nonwoven gloves at reduced processing costs. It has a considerable market share because of its affordable prices and green manufacturing process. In 2022, a sizeable portion of sales came from the wetland technology area. It has a high production rate and a low cost of manufacture. Utilizing a series of opening and mixing procedures, web creation, and adhesive or thermal bonding procedures, the method is used to create nonwoven fabric from staple fibers.

• In 2022, the laboratory segment is leading the market with the largest market share during the forecast period.

Based on the end user, the global disposable non-woven market is segmented into healthcare, laboratory, janitorial, salons, & others. Among these segments, the laboratory segment is dominating the market with the largest revenue share during the forecast period. In laboratories, nonwoven disposable gloves are frequently used to avoid chemical, sharp-edged items, and other cold or hot material catastrophes. As they are only intended to be used as a temporary physical barrier against chemical contact, these gloves are removed and thrown away as soon as they get contaminated. In 2022, the healthcare end-use category also accounted for a sizeable portion of revenue. Nonwoven disposable gloves are utilized in several goods in nursing homes and hospitals in addition to filtering clean air and preventing infection on a personal level.
