Nonwoven Disposable Gloves Market Growth & Trends
The global nonwoven disposable gloves market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.72 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.7% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to witness significant growth on account of the rising product demand from the healthcare industry including hospitals, nursing homes, and home healthcare. Furthermore, an increasing geriatric population across the developed nations is expected to drive the demand for healthcare spending over the forecast period, thereby resulting in industry growth. The global demand for these products is driven by increased healthcare spending as well as growing consumer awareness related to the transmission of pathogens through healthcare workers who are in contact with blood and other body fluids.
Pre-soaped and non-soaped, soft nonwoven disposable gloves are primarily used in medical applications for the professional cleaning of body parts. Non-soaped disposable gloves emerged as the leading segment for their applications in household commercial cleaning and spa applications. The main drivers of increased demand for nonwoven disposable gloves are the high incidence of chronic diseases and hospitalization rates. Growingconsumer awarenessabout the seriousness of diseases and environmental issues is another factor driving product demand. The growing geriatric population is also contributing to arise in hospitalizations, which raises the need for hygiene supplies, such as disposable gloves, to prevent infection.
For instance, the United Nations estimates that there were 703 million people worldwide in 2019 who were aged 65 years or older. In 2050, it is expected that there will be 1.5 billion senior people. By 2050, the percentage is expected to increase to 16%, meaning that 1 in 6 individuals worldwide would be 65 years of age or older. To prevent contamination, regulatory organizations like the National Health Service (NHS) and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OHSA) have developed regulations for the use of gloves in medical applications. Every firm is extremely concerned about employee safety at work. During the forecast period, these elements are anticipated to fuel market expansion. To create cutting-edge and original solutions, manufacturers are looking for partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions.
Also, manufacturers are employing a variety of other strategies including geographic expansion and the creation of new goods to broaden their industrypresence and provide services to end-use sectors. For instance, Top Glove Malaysia, a division of Top Glove Corp. Bhd., received permission to resume exporting and selling gloves to the United States of America in September 2021. According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), all ports in the United States will accept disposable gloves made by Top Glove in Malaysia. In Feb 2021, Pastel Glove Sdn. Bhd. was granted a manufacturing license by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry Malaysia (MITI) for the creation of medical-grade nitrile- & natural rubber-based examination gloves.
