Healthcare Industry Demand for Disposable Gloves to Stay Strong

“A large number of functions in the healthcare industry require the medical personnel to wear disposable gloves. Surgeries, sterilization procedures, and examinations form the bulk of medical responsibilities where disposable gloves are a must. Additionally, with the more recent outbreaks of diseases such as Zika, swine and avian flu, SARS, and Ebola, it has become even more important for medical personnel to wear protective clothes and disposable gloves to prevent the spread of these diseases,” states a TMR analyst.

There are also several non-medical applications of disposable gloves that are showing a greater demand for them due to improvements in hygiene and safety standards. These include the food and beverage industry and the automotive industry.

This is a severe setback for the manufacturers of disposable gloves, as there is a growing amount of dissatisfaction over the use of natural rubber latex gloves.

“A solution for the U.K. manufacturers of disposable gloves to keep themselves ahead of the curve is to quickly adopt the means to manufacture disposable gloves made of synthetic materials,” adds the analyst.
