Disposable Gloves Market: By Material, By Product, By End User, and Geography

Disposable Gloves Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Material (Natural Rubber, Nitrile, Vinyl, Neoprene, Polyethylene, and Others), By Product (Powdered and Powder-free), By End User (Healthcare, Construction, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Food, Pharmaceuticals, Transportation, Mining, and Others), and Region

Disposable Gloves Market was valued at US$ 12.4 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at 9.7% CAGR over the forecast years to reach US$ 23.7 billion by 2030. The disposable gloves market is driven by the growing awareness regarding infectious diseases and hygiene, rising demand from the Asia-Pacific region, stringent regulations for maintaining hygiene standards, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the demand for disposable gloves as a crucial tool for preventing the spread of the virus and this trend is expected to continue to some extent even after the pandemic subsides, as people have become more aware of the importance of hygiene practices. The increasing spread of infectious diseases and the growing emphasis on maintaining hygiene standards in various sectors like healthcare, food processing, and hospitality are driving the demand for disposable gloves. Regulatory bodies worldwide are implementing stricter regulations regarding hygiene standards in various industries, including healthcare, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, this is forcing companies to adopt stricter protocols, which necessitates the use of disposable gloves.

Additionally, the Asia-Pacific region, particularly China and India, is experiencing significant economic growth, leading to an increase in disposable income and a growing healthcare sector. This is resulting in a higher demand for disposable gloves in these regions. Development of innovative materials, rising demand from non-medical sectors, and e-commerce growth are the opportunities, and increasing demand for powder-free gloves, rising demand for biodegradable gloves, and focus on comfort and functionality are the trends in the disposable gloves market. Yet the fluctuations in raw material prices, allergies caused by latex gloves, and the environmental impact of disposable gloves are the constraints going to hinder the disposable glove market growth.

Disposable Gloves Market Key Developments:
  • In February 2023, Ansell Ltd. completed the purchase of Careplus (M) Sdn Bhd, a move that expanded its surgical glove manufacturing capabilities.
