Expansion of Healthcare Infrastructure
India’s rapidly expanding healthcare infrastructure, including hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and diagnostic centers, has contributed to the India medical gloves market growth. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Government of India is set to launch a credit incentive scheme valued at Rs. 50,000 crore (US$ 6.8 billion) to enhance the nation’s healthcare infrastructure. The Indian healthcare industry is experiencing unparalleled expansion, as private equity and venture capital funding exceeded US$ 1 billion in the initial five months of 2024, representing a 220% rise compared to the prior year. Government initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat and private investments have led to the establishment of more healthcare facilities, especially in semi-urban and rural areas. With the rise in surgeries, outpatient visits, and diagnostic procedures, the need for examination and surgical gloves has grown substantially, creating a positive India medical gloves market outlook. In addition, the booming telemedicine and home healthcare segments have widened the use of gloves beyond conventional settings, creating a more diversified and sustained demand across the healthcare system.
Infection Control and Regulatory Compliance
Stringent infection control protocols and regulations from health authorities like the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, along with international standards from WHO and CDC, have made glove usage mandatory in most medical procedures. Hospitals and labs are required to follow safety guidelines to prevent cross-contamination, especially in high-risk environments like ICUs and operation theatres. Regular audits and inspections ensure compliance, further boosting the India medical gloves market share. The pandemic further reinforced these norms, embedding gloves as a non-negotiable part of personal protective equipment (PPE) kits in both government and private healthcare setups. For instance, in March 2024, the government is expected to include surgical gloves and disposable medical examination gloves in the Quality Control Order (QCO) to regulate the import of substandard products and improve the standards for domestic manufacturing. The action aligns with requests from local glove manufacturers who stated that insufficient regulation is causing the import of inferior gloves, rejected elsewhere, into India.
