Cleanroom Disposable Gloves Market

The global cleanroom disposable gloves market was valued at $1.5 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $3.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2021 to 2030.

The COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the Global Cleanroom Disposable Gloves market. The spread of COVID-19 increased the demand for cleanroom disposable gloves from the pharmaceutical & medical devices sector and hospitals.

Cleanroom disposable gloves are mainly used in the pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and electronics industries as a protective tool for cleanroom personnel and to prevent cross-contamination of manufactured products. Disposable cleanroom gloves are made from a variety of materials such as natural rubber/latex, nitrile, vinyl, and neoprene. Several variants of disposable cleanroom gloves offer unique advantages over other gloves; for example, nitrile cleanroom gloves are more resistant to puncture and abrasion than rubber gloves. Nitrile gloves provide optimal finger movement for mission-critical cleanroom applications such as the production of vaccines, enzymes, and high & low volume injection products.

In addition, many variations of disposable gloves are available in market , including nitrile, natural rubber, neoprene, and vinyl. Each of these variants offers different advantages over conventional (usually rubber) gloves and offers a wide range of applications in industries such as catering, cleanrooms, and industrial applications. For example, nitrile gloves are frictionless and puncture resistant, having longer life than rubber gloves. Thereafter, tattoo artists, medical & dental professionals, spas & salons, and laboratories use nitrile gloves as they offer high protection & durability being very puncture resistant.

The global disposable cleanroom gloves market is growing at a remarkable rate due to driving factors such as increase in demand from large customer base. In addition, the implementation of government regulation for safety measures and product immutable factors for specific requirements boost the demand for disposable clean room gloves.. However, increase in the use of robots in the semiconductor industry hinders the growth of the disposable cleanroom glove market.

Cleanroom Disposable Gloves Market, By Region

Asia-Pacific occupies the largest part of the cleanroom disposable gloves market and consists of countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and rest of Asia-Pacific. Huge population and the growth in awareness among the industrial workers regarding the industrial safety regulation created the positive impact on the demand for the cleanroom disposable gloves market. China being industrial manufacturing hub of the world and manufacture world 60% of the electronic products fueled the demand for cleanroom disposable gloves. The presence of developing countries and their investment in the pharmaceutical and medical infrastructure provide opportunities for the development of the market in the forecast period.

Cleanroom Disposable Gloves Market, By Material Type

The natural rubber segment dominates the global cleanroom disposable gloves market. Over the past few years, it was observed that latex prices have gradually declined. Rubber prices decreased by 30%; attributed to the fall in demand for the latex gloves. Government departments across many countries ban rubber gloves , owing to allergic reactions caused to the users.

Cleanroom Disposable Gloves Market, By End Use

The semiconductor industry segment dominates the global cleanroom disposable gloves market. Cleanroom disposable gloves are used widely in the semiconductor industry by cleanroom personnel to avoid cross contamination. The cost per pair depends upon the International Organization for Standardization(ISO) class and industry segment. Gloves selection for semiconductors is very important as static charge on the gloves may harm the product and lead to contamination. The natural rubber latex gloves hold on to a charge and release it in an uncontrolled manner, leading to damage; hence, nitrile gloves are majorly employed in semiconductor industries. 

Covid-19 Analysis:

COVID-19 severely impacted the global economy with devastating effects on global trade, which has simultaneously affected households, business, financial institution, industrial establishments, and infrastructure companies. The spread of COVID-19 increased the demand for cleanroom disposable gloves from the pharmaceutical & medical devices sector and hospitals. Multinational companies had to face lockdown restrictions in different countries, hindering manufacturing operations during the pandemic. Procurement of raw materials was challenging, owing to the disruption in logistics. The COVID-19 spread in China and across the globe, impacting the healthcare system and health expenditure. This has positively impacted the demand for cleanroom consumables such as disposable gloves. Preventive practices followed by medical staff such as double gloving and frequent change of gloves caused an increase in the use of gloves.
