How is Rising Prevalence of Infectious Diseases Powering Surge in Global Disposable Gloves Market?

The rising prevalence of infectious diseases across the world is one of the key factors fuelling the growing demand for disposable gloves. 

As per the World Health Organization (WHO), 9 million people were diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) and 1.5 million people died due to this disease in 2013. In addition to this, the organization reported that 145,700 people died as a result of measles (a viral infection) in 2013. These factors have resulted in a huge increase in the need for proper equipment that would protect the patients and caregivers from serious infections, thereby pushing the demand for disposable gloves.

Due to the above-mentioned factors, the global disposable gloves market is expected to register huge growth in the coming years. The most widely used types of disposable gloves are neoprene gloves, nitrile gloves, natural rubber or latex gloves, and vinyl gloves. The disposable gloves are used in various medical applications such as surgeries and examinations. These gloves are also commonly used in cleanrooms, food and beverages sector, and various other kinds of non-medical applications.

The biggest rage currently being witnessed in the disposable gloves market is the surging development and utilization of powdered disposable gloves. These gloves have a powder (cornstarch) on the inside that makes them easy to wear and remove and prevents the sticking of latex with the hands. These gloves are ideal for situations which require the gloves to be worn for a long period of time. The powdered gloves are highly resistant to wear and tear as compared to the powder-free disposable gloves.

Globally, North America is expected to observe the highest growth in the demand for disposable gloves in the coming years, on account of the high awareness regarding hand hygiene, high incidence of infectious diseases, and greater patience compliance for surgical treatments in the region. The recommendation of the CDC for the utilization of disposable gloves in medical treatments and procedures will also fuel their adoption in future. Asia-Pacific (APAC) is predicted to register the fastest growth in the demand for disposable gloves in future, owing to the rising healthcare expenditure and improving healthcare expenditure in the region.

Thus, it can be undoubtedly said that the demand for disposable gloves will observe major growth in the coming years, primarily due to the soaring awareness regarding hygiene, increasing prevalence of communicable diseases, and booming healthcare industry across the world.
