Global Personal Protective Gloves Market by Product (Disposable, Durable), by End Use (Manufacturing, Chemical, Oil & Gas) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Industry Insights

Global personal protective gloves market was valued at USD 9.52 Billion in 2016. It is expected to grow at 6.5% CAGR over the forecast period. The growth is expected to be driven by increasing awareness about employee safety and health, as well as rising industrial deaths in emerging economies due to the absence of personal protective products.

Due to seasonal factors like the emergence of viral diseases or emergency responses in areas affected by natural disasters, there has been a surge in global demand. Market growth has also been influenced by growing concerns about the risk of hand injuries in construction and manufacturing industries.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (USBoLS), 40% of all hand injuries cases were caused by the manufacturing sector in 2014. The highest prevalence of hand injuries and illnesses was found in the upper body. Employers in this sector have been urged to take strict measures against employees not adhering to safety regulations.

Due to seasonal factors like the occurrence of infectious diseases and viral outbreaks, there has been a significant increase in market demand. The healthcare sector has seen a significant increase in demand for medical personal protective gloves due to increased awareness about safety and health measures related to patient treatment and emergency response.

Additionally, the risks of transferring germs or bloodborne pathogens on the job are expected to increase the demand for disposable hands at healthcare and medical facilities. The market is expected to grow over the forecast period due to increased awareness about disease prevention and consumer wellbeing in the healthcare sector.

Weather conditions are a major factor in product demand. The market for personal protective gloves in these regions will grow due to the rising demand for protection from low temperatures and cuts in colder climates. In tropical areas, low temperature is a seasonal issue. However, it is an important factor driving demand for personal protective gloves in Polar Regions that are exposed to colder climates for more than four months a year.

Product Insights

In 2016, durable gloves accounted for 57% of the total market share. They are expected to see moderate growth in the future. A wide variety of gloves are available depending on the product characteristics and the nature and work of the end-use application.

The forecast shows that personal protective gloves will be in high demand due to increased concern about occupational injuries and the need for durable, chemically resistant personal protective wear for high-risk activities in many industries like oil and gas, metal fabrication, construction, and manufacturing.

Disposable gloves are expected to be the fastest-growing segment, with a revenue share of USD 6.93 billion in 2024. Natural rubber, vinyl, neoprene and nitrile are the main materials used in product manufacturing. The growth is likely to be driven by growing concerns about product contamination in electronics, medical examination and food processing industries.

The product is expected to have many advantages over its competitors, including nitrile gloves. They are also puncture-resistant and frictionless. Additionally, they have a longer shelf time than latex gloves. The market is expected to grow due to the increasing incidence of pandemic diseases such as H1N1 (swine flu), and the increased need for infection control.

Raw Material Insights

The market is segmented based on raw materials. These include natural rubber, latex, neoprene and vinyl. The raw materials can also be transformed into application-specific fabrics such as flame retardants and chemical and mechanical abrasion resistant fabrics.

The personal protective gloves market is dominated by leather gloves. Its protection in cold environments and its ability to prevent splinters can explain this high demand. The product will see increased demand from people who use sharp tools and work with volatile chemicals, such as woodwork and construction.

Due to increased adoption in the medical, chemical, laboratory and oil sectors, nitrile gloves will be the fastest-growing product category. This is due to its superior resistance to chemical and puncture as compared with vinyl and latex. The segment is forecast to grow at a CAGR 8% during the forecast period.

Through a variety of distribution channels, product manufacturers can access the processed natural latex or nitrile rubbers. Distributors are available to Aramid and leather producers. Transilwrap Co., Inc., Tekra Corp., and JG Train and Company Ltd. are some of the fiber distributors in this industry.

End-use Insights

The market is segmented by end-use into medical and healthcare and food and drink, chemical, manufacturing and construction, oil and natural gas and mining. General engineering and law enforcement are also end-use industries. Market growth is expected to be aided by safety standards set forth by regulatory agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Manufacturing was the largest use for personal protective gloves. It is expected that the segment will grow at 6.7% CAGR over the forecast period. Employees may be injured by various primary and ancillary manufacturing processes, such as grinding, welding, and torch cutting. Product demand will rise due to growing concerns about employee safety.

Due to rising concerns about disease spread and illnesses in the tropical regions of South America, Africa and Central America, medical and healthcare are expected to see high growth during the forecast period. The forecast period will also see a rise in medical innovation and recertification. This is expected to drive the demand for protective gloves.

In the coming years, the demand for gloves will increase due to rising numbers of injuries at work, such as arm and hand cuts. Employers in various industries such as chemical, manufacturing and mining have been urged to use gloves in their operations due to rising costs for lost time injuries.

Regional Insights

Europe held the largest market share, with over 32% revenue, in 2016. The product demand is expected to grow due to the growing demand for protective gloves in various industries, including oil and gas, construction, healthcare, food processing and mining.

In the coming years, regional product demand will be driven by strict workplace safety and health regulations. Personal protective gloves will be adopted in many industries, including mining and construction, due to growing concerns about life-threatening accidents and stringent regulatory norms concerning asbestos and silica.

North America will see a 6.4% CAGR over the forecast period. This is due to strict regulatory norms in the mining, construction and healthcare industries. The growth will also be influenced by the increasing demand for products with multi-tasking functionality.
