Investment in infrastructure is pivotal for enhancing workers safety across industries like mining, construction, oil & energy, and manufacturing. These sectors require customized solutions in gloves with varying resistance levels, grip patterns, and coatings to protect against metal cuts, chemical burns, and high-temperature resources. The global cut resistant gloves market responds with butyl, aluminized, and cryogenic options, offering reusable gloves that mitigate skin allergies and prevent cross contamination from particulate matters. As safety remains paramount, advancements in materials and designs ensure gloves meet diverse sizes and occupational hazards, supporting workforce efficiency and health in hazardous environments.
The risk of physical injuries in labour-intensive industries is driving the market growth. There is increasing demand from industries such as automotive, construction, manufacturing, chemicals, and food processing due to them being labour-intensive. Due to this, workers face risks of impact-related hand injuries such as abrasion cuts, slicing cuts, and impact cuts. Accidents can cause cuts and chemical burns which might result in lacerations or even amputations.
For instance, the average cost of treating hand injuries may exceed 5,000 and may require at least 6-10 days off from work. Depending on the severity of the injury, treatment costs can vary from USD 2,000 to USD 10,000. 70% of workers who sustain hand injuries do not wear gloves while performing tasks, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hence, the rising prevalence of impact-related hand injuries during industrial activities and costs associated with treatment are resulting in employers mandating the usage of protective hand equipment by their employees. Hence such factors will boost market growth during the forecast period.
The adoption of modular cleanrooms is a key trend in the market. Modular cleanrooms are portable, standalone cleanroom structures primarily used in the production processes of components in industries such as aerospace, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and optics. It offers a space devoid of dust and other contaminants and has advantages such as design flexibility and quicker assembly than conventional cleanrooms. Hence increasing usage of modular cleanrooms by industries will also result in rising demand for cut-resistant gloves. These gloves made from polyethylene and polyurethane have good chemical resistance, low moisture sensitivity, and provide a good grip.
Moreover, the polyurethane coating allows protection against several chemicals and liquids while ensuring a good grip. chemicals and liquids while ensuring a good grip. Superior Gloves, a major company, offers products such as the Superior Touch 13-gauge seamless knit gloves, which ensure a great grip due to polyurethane palm coating. Moreover, it also offers touchscreen compatibility. Hence such innovative products offered by companies that comply with modular cleanroom standards will boost market growth during the forecast period.
The fluctuating prices of raw materials are challenging market growth. Latex is the primary raw material and it is derived from natural and synthetic rubber. Synthetic latex is produced by processing rubber, while natural latex is directly available in nature. Due to limited latex availability in certain countries, the prices of cut-resistant gloves will be more in countries with reduced latex supply.
Moreover, supply-demand dynamics also result in the price volatility of synthetic latex. The manufacturing process associated with the production of synthetic latex used to make cut-resistant gloves can end up costing a lot. Moreover, systemic imbalances will significantly impact the price of rubber and reduce the profit margins of cut-resistant gloves due to them incurring more costs. Hence such factors will hinder market growth during the forecast period.
