Hand hygiene is a simple and effective method of infection prevention. Cleaning of hands can help keep germs at bay, especially those that are antibiotic resistant and are increasingly challenging, if not unlikely, to treat. As per the CDC, healthcare professionals wash their hands a little under half as often as they should. One in every 31 patients in the hospital has at least yet another healthcare-associated infection on any given day.
The worldwide pandemic has led the medical gloves market to a boon in the future. For instance, The World Health Organization declared the novel Covid-19 outbreak a pandemic and a public health emergency that has spread globally. People are in desperate need of protective medical supplies such as masks, suits, gloves, and respirators, and supplies are running low.
Malaysian rubber glove manufacturers pledged to donate 18 million pairs of gloves to Wuhan city in early February, and the world needs other manufacturers to join them. In any case, the healthcare industry has attracted a steady demand for protective medical supplies. Increasing output to meet current demand may help the industry sustain rising demand in the long run.
An increase in government initiatives, providing safe and quality healthcare to the people will mark a steady growth in the given forecast period.
The global nitrile gloves market is thus likely to show high growth over the coming years a CAGR of 21.6% and reach a global market size of US$ 47.3 Billion by 2033.
“Increase of Adoption of Nitrile Gloves in Various Verticals”
Nitrile glove is made of a synthetic rubber substance that is popularly used for disposable gloves. Nitrile has been around for a long time, but it has in recent times become much more cost-effective, which explains why it is gaining popularity in the health - care, food, and cleaning industries. Nitrile is the most puncture-resistant glove material. Nitrile gloves are also more resistant to chemicals than latex or vinyl gloves.
In addition, over the forecast period, various product variations and technological advancements will be major growth drivers. Demand will grow significantly as the utility of nitrile gloves expands across various business verticals. Oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, medical and tending, and automotive are some of the industry sectors that may be large consumers of those gloves.
Hygiene is gaining prominence in the healthcare, beauty and food care industries, particularly as people around the world become more aware of viral and bacterial infections. It's worth noting here that the expenditure of nitrile gloves contributes significantly to their reliability and benefit. This factor would provide players with several opportunities for growth over the forecast period.
“Pressure to Provide Cost-effective Products with Safety Compliance”
The year 2021 began with some unusual challenges that put a burden on the glove manufacturing supply chain. Specifically, there is a high demand for nitrile gloves while this extremely important personal protective equipment is scarce. this has resulted in a slew of issues affecting end-users, glove manufacturing suppliers, and everyone else in between.
In addition, in the United States, only a few companies manufacture nitrile gloves. This was never an issue before, but due to the sudden rise in demand for nitrile protective gloves, many distributors who previously ordered locally were compelled to search out international manufacturers.
Because there is a high market demand for nitrile gloves while there is also a shortage, price increases are unavoidable. Distributors have been heavily impacted by higher costs because there aren't enough manufacturers who might keep pace with demand, in addition to the scarcity of raw materials and everything in between. It thus, in turn, affects end users, who now pay a higher price.
Therefore, compromising on the quality and increasing in price may hamper the market growth in the given forecast period.
Why is the U.S. Nitrile Gloves Market Booming?
“Increasing U.S. FDA Safety Initiatives and Programs”
The U.S. accounted for around 89.4% market share in the North American nitrile gloves market in 2022, and a similar trend is expected over the forecast period.
In the United States, very few companies manufacture nitrile gloves. This has created wide opportunity for the players in the U.S which has led the U.S. manufacturers to invest and produce more nitrile gloves to avoid abrupt situations. The focus on setting up manufacturing plants and FDA standards in the U.S. will boost the U.S. nitrile gloves market in the given forecasted period.
Will Germany Be a Lucrative Market for Nitrile Gloves Market?
“Increase in Infectious Disease Propelling Novel Personal Protective Measures”
Germany held around 15.0% market share of the Europe nitrile gloves market in 2022.
The demand for medical technologies is being driven by a rise in the size of disease states in population and demographics. Other factors influencing the use of medical devices and technologies in Germany include an aging society, an increase in chronic illness prevalence, global health insurance, an advanced healthcare system with highly qualified workers, and significant health spending. Over the last decade, there has been a significant increase in healthcare spending.
Nitrile gloves act as a barrier between healthcare professionals and contagious or highly infectious diseases. Rising demand in the medical and healthcare sectors as a consequence of the COVID-19 outbreak, stringent government regulations regarding workplace safety and security, rising adoption in various sectors, preserving product quality, mounting popularity of customised disposable gloves, and a growing industrial landscape as a result of globalisation and vendor competition will drive the nitrile gloves market in Germany.
How is China Emerging as a Prominent Market for Nitrile Gloves?
“Improvements in Quality Standards will Boost the Nitrile Gloves Market in China”

Even though China was not among the top producer of nitrile gloves at the time, capacity and production have since increased. China is not yet a major supplier of nitrile gloves to the United States, but its share of the market has been increasing since the outbreak began, rising from 13% of US imported products by quantity in July 2020 to 19% in February 2021.
Furthermore, the quality of nitrile gloves produced in china is quite not up to the market as compared to Malaysian gloves which lead to buying the gloves at a higher price. The opportunity for the china market to boost its production with improvement in its quality material and sustainability will boost the market in the given forecasted period.
