"The rising concerns about hygiene and safety regarding HAIs is notably driving the nitrile medical gloves market growth."

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

Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The rising concerns on hygiene and safety from HAIs is notably driving the medical disposable gloves market growth, although factors such as intense competition leading to pricing pressure among key vendors 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 medical disposable gloves industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Medical Disposable Gloves Market Driver

One of the key factors driving growth in the medical disposable 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. Hand hygiene is the most important tool to avoid the transmission of infectious agents and prevent HAIs. To implement best hand hygiene practices in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, medical disposable gloves are classified and regulated by the FDA under Class I. 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. People have become more conscious about cleanliness and hygiene and are keeping themselves and their environment germ-free. To maintain an adequate level of hygiene and safety in healthcare facilities, various healthcare supplies, including medical disposable gloves, are in high demand. These factors will fuel the global medical disposable gloves market growth rate.

Key Medical Disposable Gloves Market Trend

The increasing preference for powder-free gloves is a medical disposable gloves market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. The preference toward powder-free 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. After wearing powdered gloves, healthcare workers (HCW) are supposed to wash their hands instead of using an alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR). Washing hands takes longer than using ABHR, and the use of powdered gloves may be an obstacle to hand-hygiene compliance. Hence, manufacturers are focused on developing powder-free gloves by removing the residual powder from powdered gloves. This process reduces the surface tackiness of NRL, allowing the gloves to slide over the hands without sticking to the skin. The benefits associated with powder-free gloves are expected to fuel the growth of the global medical disposable gloves market over the forecast period.

Key Medical Disposable Gloves Market Challenge

The intense competition leading to pricing pressure among key vendors will be a major challenge for the medical disposable gloves market during the forecast period. The global medical disposable gloves market is dynamic and characterized by intense competition due to the presence of several established and small vendors. The market is dominated by a limited number of established vendors that enjoy brand loyalty. The manufacturers and suppliers of medical disposable gloves sell their products at competitive prices to increase their profit margins. Aggressive product pricing creates intense competition between vendors and decreases their profit potential. Undifferentiated product purchases and low switching costs for consumers also have an adverse impact on the market. In developing countries, local manufacturers offer medical disposable gloves at a price lower than the products offered by established vendors, which causes price wars based on design and cost. Therefore, leading vendors are focusing on the development and sales of advanced medical disposable gloves at a low cost to ensure high sales volume. However, this may result in low-profit margins for the vendors. It also adversely impacts their R and D spending, which affects the development of innovative products.

This medical disposable gloves market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
