Global Nitrile Medical Glove Market Professional Survey by Types, Applications, and Players, with Regional Growth Rate Analysis and Development Situation, from 2023 to 2028
According to the latest research, the global Nitrile Medical Glove market size was valued at USD 4453.49 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 13.21% during the forecast period, reaching USD 9376.12 million by 2028.
Nitrile is highly elastic, water and oil resistant, and most importantly, chemical resistant to a wide range of common chemicals and substances. Nitrile gloves can be flexibly fitted to both hands, providing a sensitive touch for fine handling. Coupled with its high puncture resistance and chemical protection function, it is often used in the medical industry. Medical nitrile gloves can be usually divided into powder gloves and non-powder gloves, which are used in hospitals and related places.
In the nitrile medical glove industry, on the one hand, the production of nitrile rubber, the core upstream raw material, has been shut down due to the epidemic, and the lack of labor has led to a reduction in the production of nitrile rubber, and the transportation of raw materials has also declined due to the epidemic blockade and insufficient transportation personnel. This constitutes a double negative impact on the upstream supply chain of nitrile medical gloves. On the other hand, the number of labor force producing nitrile medical gloves in the midstream has also decreased due to the epidemic infection, and the labor capacity has declined. After the production is completed, the transnational supply chain of nitrile medical gloves is facing a sharp decline in efficiency due to the epidemic blockade measures and insufficient transportation capacity, while the demand for products from front-line medical staff has soared, which poses a huge challenge to the resilience of the supply chain.
The spread of the epidemic in the world has posed a challenge to the global medical system. Medical resources were once scarce, and the demand for medical devices increased rapidly. Nitrile medical gloves are indispensable for medical work, and have the characteristics of easy consumption, which makes its demand increase sharply and become an important driving force for the rapid growth of the market.
In recent years, nitrile medical glove market has developed well. Although the industry has certain barriers to entry, new companies are still entering. With the increase in the number of companies in the industry, competition among manufacturers has become increasingly fierce, and the phenomenon of product homogeneity has gradually emerged. This leads to the proliferation of sub-standard or duplicate products which then hampers the competitive scenario in the market as established nitrile medical glove manufacturers are compelled to lower the price of their products, which ultimately impacts their profit margins and sales volumes.
