Market Overview

Surgical gloves are primarily used as a protective barrier to prevent disease transmission between healthcare personnel and patients during surgical procedures. Surgical gloves are used during surgery and are often prepared to a higher quality, with improved precision, size, and sensitivity. Surgical gloves prevent clinicians and patients from cross-contamination during medical examinations. Surgical gloves are constructed of polymers such as polyisoprene, latex, neoprene, and nitrile. These products can function as sterile gloves. Surgical gloves are used in a variety of medical activities, including surgery and dentistry. Surgical gloves are used in crime scene evaluation because of their tight fit and thinness, making them easy to use. Manufacturers are putting more effort into making powder-free gloves by removing any remaining powder from powdered gloves. Furthermore, various legislative measures are contributing to the growth of powder-free nitrile gloves by imposing stricter restrictions and requirements for the use of powdered gloves, which raises safety concerns. As a result, the surgical glove industry is likely to see increased profitability.

Driving Factors
Major market players are investing heavily in R and D to increase their product lines, allowing the market for weight loss products to develop. Furthermore, market players are launching a variety of strategic measures to expand their global footprint, including the introduction of new products, contracts, M and A transactions, increased investment, and collaboration with other businesses. To expand and thrive in an increasingly competitive and dynamic market, the surgical glove sector must offer fairly priced products. In addition, the growing number of surgical procedures performed, such as carotid endarterectomy, appendectomy, cesarean section, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), and circumcision, is predicted to drive up demand for surgical gloves. For example, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services claim that in response to the pandemic's consequences, hospitals quickly established new safety standards, resulting in a large fall in non-essential surgical rates. As a result, the increasing number of surgical procedures is expected to drive the surgical glove market.
 

Restraining Factors

The growing demand for more sustainable alternatives as people become more conscious of environmental issues may have an impact on the market for traditional disposable gloves. This is projected to have a negative impact on the surgical glove market throughout the forecast period.

 Market Segmentation

The global surgical gloves market share is classified into material, usage, and end user.

• The latex gloves segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global surgical gloves market during the forecast period.

Based on the material, the global surgical gloves market is categorized into latex gloves, nitrile gloves, vinyl gloves, and neoprene gloves. Among these, the latex gloves segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global surgical gloves market during the forecast period. They are also extremely durable and tear-resistant because of their natural rubber properties, and they can act as an effective barrier against bacterial and viral illnesses. Latex gloves are still the most popular choice for surgical procedures due to their superior quality and performance, despite the emergence of new materials such as nitrile and vinyl, which have some advantages over latex, such as hypoallergenic and chemical resistance. In reality, latex gloves currently represent the largest market segment for surgical gloves, accounting for a sizable share of total sales.

• The disposable gloves segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the usage, the global surgical gloves market is categorized into disposable gloves and reusable gloves. Among these, the disposable gloves segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Several factors contribute to this, including favorable occupational safety rules, the growing emphasis on workplace safety and security, and rising healthcare costs. Furthermore, surgical gloves protect the body from potentially toxic chemicals such as abrasive items, alcohol, and chemicals, as well as biohazards such as viruses and bacteria, bodily fluids, and so on.

• The powdered gloves segment is predicted to dominate the global surgical gloves market during the forecast period.

Based on the form, the global surgical gloves market is categorized into powder-free gloves and powdered gloves. Among these, the powdered gloves segment is predicted to dominate the global surgical gloves market during the forecast period. Glove powder, which is made up of dry substances such as silicone and cornstarch, is found in powdered gloves, preventing them from adhering together and making them easier to wear.

• The hospital segment is expected to hold a significant share of the global surgical gloves market during the forecast period.

Based on the end user, the global surgical gloves market is categorized into hospital, veterinary, emergency medical service, dental, and others. Among these, the hospital segment is expected to hold a significant share of the global surgical gloves market during the forecast period. This importance is due to several variables, including a fast-growing geriatric population, particularly in affluent countries, and an increase in hospital-acquired illnesses such as hepatitis and AIDS. These factors are expected to considerably contribute to the growing demand for medical gloves. The increasing occurrence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) such as surgical site infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and bloodstream infections is expected to fuel the need for medical gloves in the hospital end-use segment.

Regional Segment Analysis of the Global Surgical Gloves Market

• North America (U.S., Canada, Mexico) 
• Europe (Germany, France, U.K., Italy, Spain, Rest of Europe)
• Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of APAC)
• South America (Brazil and the Rest of South America) 
• The Middle East and Africa (UAE, South Africa, Rest of MEA)

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest share of the global surgical gloves market over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest share of the global surgical gloves market over the forecast period. This is due to the region's increased manufacture of personal protective equipment (PPE), which has been affected by rising healthcare expenditures, rising healthcare penetration, and government measures to improve awareness. Furthermore, the growing senior population, which is predisposed to various chronic illnesses, the increased emphasis on attracting qualified healthcare personnel, and greater health insurance penetration have produced positive conditions for the business environment in APAC countries.

North America is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of the global surgical gloves market during the forecast period. A growing number of hospital admissions, numerous surgical operations, and stringent regulatory requirements. Thus, when hospital admissions and surgical procedures increase, so does the demand for surgical gloves, resulting in regional market expansion.
