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

The rising concerns about hygiene and safety regarding HAIs is notably driving the nitrile medical gloves market growth, although factors such as volatile raw material prices and currency fluctuations 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 nitrile 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 Nitrile Medical Gloves Market Driver

• One of the key factors driving growth in the nitrile medical gloves market is the rising concerns about hygiene and safety regarding HAIs.
• HAIs occur in hospitals, long-term care, home care, and ambulatory care settings due to various factors, such as the increasing number of co-morbidities, the transmission of drug-resistant bacteria, prolonged hospital stays, frequent disease outbreaks, and the prevalence of poor infection-control practices.
• The implementation and adoption of infection-control programs and practices in the healthcare industry are recommended to prevent HAIs. Also, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, gowns, face masks, protective eyewear, and face shields by healthcare professionals to reduce occupational infection transmission, is essential. 
• Hand hygiene is the most important tool to prevent the transmission of infections and, therefore, HAIs. Such factors will boost the growth of the global nitrile medical gloves market.

Key Nitrile Medical Gloves Market Trend

• The increasing preference for biodegradable and powder-free nitrile medical gloves is a nitrile medical gloves market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years.
• The preference for powder-free nitrile medical gloves is increasing among end-users, such as hospitals, clinics, and diagnostics laboratories, as the use of powdered gloves is associated with risks, such as exposure to starch powder, which can cause granulomas, pleuritis, myocarditis, and skin irritation.
• Healthcare workers are required to wash their hands instead of using an alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) post the usage of powdered gloves.
• Washing hands takes longer than using ABHR, and the use of powdered gloves may be an obstacle to compliance with hand hygiene guidelines. Hence, manufacturers are focusing on developing powder-free gloves by removing the residual powder from powdered gloves.
• The benefits associated with powder-free gloves are expected to fuel the growth of the global nitrile medical gloves market.

Key Nitrile Medical Gloves Market Challenge

• The volatile raw material prices and currency fluctuations will be a major challenge for the nitrile medical gloves market during the forecast period.
• Volatile raw material prices and currency fluctuations threaten to destabilize the supply chains of raw materials for manufacturing nitrile medical gloves and make it tough for manufacturers to manage their sourcing costs.
• Factors such as capacity constraints, stockpiling by users, new regulations, unfavorable environment, foreign exchange rates, seasonal drops and spikes, and economic crisis cause price fluctuation of raw materials.
• The production of nitrile medical gloves requires raw materials such as nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). The considerable shortage in NBR supply due to the shutdown of several production plants in Asia and North America due to the COVID-19 pandemic is the main reason behind the increased price of raw materials for manufacturing nitrile medical gloves.
• Volatile raw material prices and currency fluctuations increase the nitrile medical gloves manufacturers' operating costs as they must invest in the procurement of raw materials.
