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.
