Global Disposable Gloves Market to Grow at 6.5% During 2019-2024

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Disposable Gloves Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global disposable gloves market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 6.5% during 2019-2024.  Disposable gloves are single-use gloves that offer hand protection against cross-contamination. They need to meet several industry-specific requirements, including barrier protection, thickness, elasticity, finish, tensile strength and puncture resistance. The manufacturers opt for suitable surface treatment techniques, like surface chlorination and coating or finishing, which affect the grip level of the glove. While purchasing these gloves, consumers consider various factors, such as cost, comfort and fit; glove material and properties; and tasks to be performed. Some of the tasks that require the use of disposable gloves include general-purpose work, like food, automobile and retail handling; exam-grade work including law enforcement and tattoo parlors; and high-risk situations related to patient care activities, chemicals, disinfectants and instrument handling.

Global Disposable Gloves Market Trends:

Over the past few years, single-use gloves have gained immense traction, owing to their lower cost as compared to reusable gloves. Besides, increasing consciousness regarding infection and hygiene, aging population, and rising healthcare spending in the developing economies, like China, is driving the demand for disposable gloves in medical care. Other than this, in the industrial sector, the increasing awareness about the health of workers, escalating number of workplace accidents, and the need for safety against hazardous equipment and chemical handling have provided a boost to the overall requirement for high-quality disposable gloves. However, various microbiological, chemical and physical hazards have been found in disposable glove supply chains as they are not tested for pathogen contamination, chemical composition and raw material toxicity, and cleanliness at the microbial and bioburden levels. Therefore, in recent years, manufacturers have started conducting a selection of tests and certifications to safeguard consumers from product contamination.
