The global disposable gloves market size was estimated at USD 9.57 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4% from 2024 to 2030.
The market is anticipated to grow over the coming years on account of several factors including favorable occupational safety regulations, increasing importance of safety and security at workplaces, and rising healthcare expenditure. The healthcare sector in major developing economies is anticipated to witness substantial growth on account of several factors, such as increasing investments in both private and public sectors along with rising population, high influx of migrants, and the growing geriatric population. Furthermore, rising healthcare expenditure is projected to drive the growth of the healthcare sector, which, in turn, is estimated to augment the demand for disposable gloves.
The disposable gloves industry in the U.S. is driven by factors such as advanced healthcare infrastructure, higher patient disposable income, and a significant geriatric population. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the demand for disposable gloves, especially in healthcare, to curb further transmission.
In various industries like healthcare, medical, and mining, exposure to harmful chemicals poses a significant risk to workers' health, leading to issues such as skin diseases, rashes, hand cuts, amputation, and exposure to bloodborne pathogens. The implementation of safety regulations is expected to play a crucial role in driving market growth.
