Latex Medical Gloves Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The rising concerns on hygiene and safety from HAIs is notably driving the latex medical gloves market growth, although factors such as the adverse impacts of latex medical gloves may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the latex medical gloves industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Latex Medical Gloves Market Driver

• One of the key factors driving growth in the latex medical gloves market is the rising concerns on hygiene and safety from HAIs.
• HAIs occur in hospitals, long-term care, home care, and ambulatory care due to various factors, such as the increasing number of morbidities and mortality rates, the transmission of drug-resistant bacteria, prolonged duration of hospital stays, disease outbreaks, and prevalence of poor infection-control practices.
• To avoid HAIs, the implementation and adoption of infection-control programs and practices in healthcare settings are recommended.
• Hand hygiene is most important to avoid the transmission of infectious agents and prevent HAIs.
• The demand for personal hygiene is expected to rise further in the coming days due to the growing awareness among individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. These factors will fuel the growth of the global latex medical gloves market.

Key Latex Medical Gloves Market Trend

• The increasing preference for non-powdered latex gloves is a latex medical gloves market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years.
• The preference toward powder-free latex gloves is increasing among end-users, such as hospitals, clinics, and diagnostics, as the use of powdered gloves is associated with risks such as exposure to starch powder, which can cause granulomas, pleuritis, myocarditis, irritation of the central nervous system (CNS), or even carcinoma or tuberculosis misdiagnosis.
• Manufacturers are focused on developing powder-free latex gloves by removing the residual powder from powdered gloves.
• The residual powder from gloves can be removed through the application of a polymer coating using various types of polymers, such as silicones, acrylics, and hydrogels.
• The polymer coating is applied to the interior surface of the gloves to facilitate donning on either damp or dry hands. Thus, the benefits associated with powder-free latex gloves are expected to fuel the growth of the global latex medical gloves market.

Key Latex Medical Gloves Market Challenge

• The adverse impacts of latex medical gloves will be a major challenge for the latex medical gloves market during the forecast period.
• Some limitations associated with the use of medical disposable gloves include permeation of organic solvents through gloves, chemical spillage onto the skin from gloves, irritation, maceration, allergies, irritant dermatitis, and the lack of comfort.
• The use of latex medical disposable gloves can cause rashes and allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening for both caregivers and patients.
• Allergic reactions can occur when healthcare professionals wear latex gloves or inhale the cornstarch powder bound to the latex proteins. The use of powdered latex gloves poses an unreasonable and substantial risk of illness or injury, including severe airway inflammation, wound inflammation, and post-surgical adhesions in both patients and caregivers. Thus, the limitations and risks associated with the use of medical latex gloves may hinder the growth of the market in focus.
