Summary

Overview
Global Medical Gloves Market reached US$ XX million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2024-2031
Medical gloves are examples of personal protective equipment used to protect the wearer and/or the patient from the spread of micro-organisms that may potentially cause infection or illness during medical procedures and examinations. Medical gloves are one part of an infection-control strategy.
Medical gloves are disposable and include examination gloves, surgical gloves, and medical gloves for handling chemotherapy agents (chemotherapy gloves). Medical gloves are regulated by the FDA as Class I reserved medical devices that require a 510(k) premarket notification.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rise in demand for sustainable and biodegradable medical gloves
Medical gloves, which take decades to degrade, are being replaced by biodegradable alternatives. Manufacturers are focusing on energy-saving, sustainable, protein-free, and natural rubber gloves, which can biodegrade 100 times faster than synthetic rubber. This move aims to create products that are beneficial for both people and the environment.
Nitrile medical gloves are widely used as they have the lowest allergy rate, high chemical resistance, and biohazard protection. They are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, newer BIO-NIT drop-in technology is being integrated into the existing manufacturing process. Adding organic materials will speed up the rate at which gloves break down in landfills with living organisms and anaerobic digesters. Most manufacturers will probably switch to green and eco-friendly gloves in response to the rising demand for biodegradable medical gloves, which will help the market grow.
Furthermore, global medical gloves are also driven by various other factors like a rise in the advancements in the gloves, a rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases, a rise in the number of surgical procedures and others helping the market to grow during the forecast period.
Allergies associated with several types of gloves
Despite the increasing adoption of gloves globally, some factors are responsible for restraining the market growth. Allergies can occur through direct contact with allergic latex proteins in latex gloves. The common symptoms of latex allergies include redness, swelling of the skin, and immediate itching.
As a preventive measure, many hospitals have implemented policies to restrict the use of latex medical gloves. According to the data published by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America in April 2022, around 4.3% of the general population worldwide suffers from latex allergy.
Segment Analysis
The global medical gloves market is segmented based on product type, form type, application, usability, end-user and region.
The nitrile gloves from the product type segment accounted for approximately 42.3% of the medical gloves market share
The nitrile gloves from the product type segment accounted for approximately 42.3%. Nitrile is the most popular disposable glove material because it is durable and chemical resistant. With many colours to choose from and options including powder-free, medical grade, industrial grade, thick and thin where the nitrile glove meets every need.
Nitrile gloves offer comfort, tactility, improved heat dissipation, cost-effectiveness, environmental benefits, and chemical resistance, which are gaining popularity due to advancements in manufacturing techniques, thereby boosting product adoption rates.
For instance, in March 2024, To enable scientists in demanding environments to conduct their work safely and comfortably, Kimberly-Clark Professional introduced Kimtech Polaris Nitrile Gloves. The gloves offer outstanding protection and strength, superior dexterity, comfort and durability.
Moreover, in March 2023, SafeSource Direct stated that its newest American-made PPE product: was a nitrile exam glove designed for maximum feel and sensitivity. The approximately 3.5 mil thick chemo-rated nitrile exam gloves have received FDA 510(k) clearance and offer superior tactile feeling at a price point that meets the needs of busy medical professionals who go through large numbers of gloves daily.
Geographical Analysis
North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period
North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period owing to factors like significant growth due to the improved healthcare infrastructure, novel product launches by key players, the strong foothold of key market players, rising hospitals, and rising initiatives from the market players, among others.
For instance, in April 2023, Medical manufacturing company Armbrust American began production of 100% American-made nitrile gloves, the next product offering in its mission to become the premier source for USA-made medical products.
Moreover, in September 2021, a US medical glove company the only maker of American-made nitrile glove machines – is ramping up production with a major nitrile supplier ensuring continuous stock of nitrile to stabilise the domestic supply of American-made disposable, non-sterile, powder-free nitrile patient examination gloves.
Covid 19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global industries, including healthcare services and medical procedures. The increased disease burden and influx of coronavirus-infected patients have impacted other medical services. Government regulators have revised standard operating procedures, including social distancing norms and PPE kits, which have positively impacted the medical gloves market share. As coronavirus is highly contagious, personal protective equipment (PPE) has been made compulsory for healthcare professionals, including different types of gloves for appropriate procedures.
