Cleanroom Disposable Gloves Market Size Expected to Reach $3.2 billion by 2030

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Cleanroom Disposable Gloves Market by Material Type and End Use: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030,"

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.

Cleanroom disposable gloves are used to maintain a sterile environment in various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, medical devices, disk drives, flat panel displays, semiconductors, and aerospace. Such sterile or controlled environmental conditions are maintained by establishing a separate and isolated clean room. Disposable clean room gloves are used to prevent cross-contamination between different products manufactured in the laboratory. Clean room disposable gloves are made from variety of materials such as natural rubber/latex, neoprene, nitrile, and vinyl, depending on intended use. These gloves have unique features and uses. For example, natural rubber gloves have higher elasticity and strength compared to nitrile, vinyl, or neoprene gloves, while nitrile disposable clean room gloves have better puncture and abrasion resistance than latex gloves. 

The global clean room disposable gloves market is growing at a considerable pace, driven by factor such as increase in demand from a large customer base. In addition, stringent government regulations on safety measures drives the growth of the cleanroom disposable gloves market. As a result, the demand for disposable gloves for clean rooms increases as variety of products from electronic industry and pharmaceutical industry that meet specific safety requirements rises. However, increase in use of robots in the semiconductor industry hinders the growth of the clean room disposable gloves market. Conversely, the growth of the pharmaceutical industry may offer favorable opportunities for market participants in the future.

The spread of COVID-19 increased the demand for cleanroom disposable gloves from the pharmaceutical & medical devices sector and hospitals. Multinational companies faced 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 impacted the healthcare system and health expenditure. This 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
