India Disposable Gloves Market Overveiw:
Disposable gloves are primarily used in the healthcare and food industry, as a protection measure to avoid cross infection between caregivers and patients. Over the past few years, various variants of disposable gloves have been developed, such as natural rubber, nitrile, vinyl, neoprene, and others. Each of the variants renders a unique benefit over conventional gloves; which in turn increases its applications in various food service, clean room, industrial application, and other industries. For instance, nitrile gloves are more puncture-resistant, frictionless, and offer longer shelf life than latex gloves. India disposable gloves market generated $303 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $760 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2018 to 2025. In terms of volume, the market is growing at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2018 to 2025.
The Indian healthcare industry is witnessing considerable growth due to growth in health awareness among the population. Therefore, increasing the scope for developing disposable gloves manufacturing sites across the country, mainly in the southern zone. However, the glove manufacturers need to invest extensively to increase production capacity due to increase in the demand for disposable gloves. Moreover, India mainly depends on the import of disposable gloves due to less production capacity. For instance, the demand for disposable surgical gloves is high among the surgical team members due to the constant change of gloves during surgery, as use of single gloves for longer time is unsafe, owing to the fear of contamination, long exposure to external environment, and carelessness. Therefore, these factors are expected to fuel the growth of the market, and India is anticipated to be one of the fastest growing disposable gloves markets in Asia in the near future.
The major factors that drive the growth of the India disposable gloves market include rise in concerns for safety and hygiene and growth in number of end users. In addition, technological advancements are anticipated to propel the market growth. However, less production capacity and toxic reaction to certain gloves are expected to hamper the market growth. On the contrary, growth in healthcare sector is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the India disposable glove manufacturers in the near future.
