Healthcare workers also utilize them to secure themselves and their patients from infection. When safeguarding the skin against chemicals, contaminants, fluids, or infections, single-use or disposable gloves are useful in the healthcare industry, food processing, law enforcement, and dentistry. Since disposable gloves prevent transmitting bacteria and germs, they make everyone safer. Single-use mittens can become contaminated quickly, but their replacement is simple and inexpensive.

Rising Number of Infectious Diseases and HAIs Drive the Global Market
According to Straits Research, “The global disposable gloves market size was valued at USD 9.2 billion in 2022. It is estimated to reach USD 20.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.21% during the forecast period (2023–2031).” Due to factors such as the increasing aging population, the number of people undergoing voluntary surgeries, and more, the target population for glove use is growing dramatically. These procedures require the routine use of gloves by physicians and caregivers. With the rising incidence/prevalence of numerous acute and chronic diseases, the number of surgeries performed to treat these diseases is also rising rapidly around the globe.
In addition, the increasing geriatric population, more minimally invasive surgical options, and technological advancements in surgical procedures significantly contribute to the rising number of surgeries. For example, in the United States alone, outpatient surgical practices generate a substantial demand in the annual number of surgical procedures conducted. Demand for safety materials such as gloves is expected to rise in response to the rising number of surgical procedures worldwide, propelling market expansion over the forecast period.
Increasing Trend of Double Gloving Creates Tremendous Opportunities
Numerous professionals adopted the double-glove policy to protect healthcare employees. Over fifty percent of Australian nurses use double mittens in operating rooms. Due to widespread noncompliance among healthcare employees concerning hand hygiene, professionals are increasingly wearing two pairs of gloves. In addition, recent research has confirmed that when the integrity of a glove is compromised by tearing, slicing, or piercing with a sharp object, there is the potential for pathogens to be transferred in both directions from healthcare workers to anyone or anything with their hands' contact. Many professional organizations also require physicians to begin wearing double mittens. This double-glove trend will increase demand for disposable mittens and create market expansion opportunities.
