Rising Adoption of Industrial Safety Gloves Across High-Risk Sectors
India's industrial safety gloves market is experiencing a growing demand, mainly from high-risk sectors like construction, automotive, chemicals, manufacturing, and oil & gas. For instance, as per industry reports, Kolkata is a key hub for India's industrial glove industry, contributing over 90% of domestic exports. These industries expose employees to a variety of risks such as cuts, abrasions, chemicals, heat, and electrical hazards, which are leading companies to implement safety practices that minimize workplace injury. Government emphasis on enhancing occupational health and safety laws, along with more stringent labor legislation, has also contributed to the use of protective gear. Additionally, as Indian industries expand rapidly, worker protection has become a top priority, especially in the wake of increased industrialization and global safety standards. The automobile industry, with its intricate assembly lines and machinery, is particularly in need of gloves that provide high protection against sharp edges and chemical exposure. Chemical plants and refineries, on the other hand, need gloves that can resist harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures. This increasing demand for safety gloves specializing in high-risk industries, in addition to mounting emphasis on promoting safety awareness across employees and employers, is an important driver in the Indian market for industrial gloves.
Growing Demand for Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Gloves
Sustainability is becoming an emerging trend in India's industrial safety gloves market. With environmental concerns on the rise, manufacturers as well as consumers are now more inclined toward sustainable alternatives for the conventional synthetic-material-based gloves. Manufacturers are turning their attention to biodegradable or recyclable glove materials that include natural latex, which has a lower environmental footprint than petroleum-based polymers. The move towards environmentally friendly solutions is also being compelled by India's focus on environmental sustainability and green manufacturing practices. For instance, in August 2023, Dow announced a partnership with Ecoplast in India to develop sustainable glove packaging using REVOLOOP™ recycled resins, incorporating 30% post-consumer recycled content, meeting export standards, and promoting circular packaging solutions in the global plastics industry. Additionally, several industries are exploring reusable gloves that can be washed and used multiple times, thus reducing waste generated by disposable options. Moreover, the rise of consumer awareness regarding eco-friendly practices has led to a greater demand for gloves made from renewable resources or recyclable components. Furthermore, this increasing shift towards sustainability is expected to continue driving the market in India, as more industries prioritize reducing their carbon footprints while ensuring worker protection.
