Newark, June 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brainy Insights estimates that the USD 4 billion in 2023 global medical nitrile gloves market will reach USD 11.35 billion in 2033. Medical nitrile gloves are integral to personal protective equipment (PPE) used in healthcare environments. The gloves are made of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). It is a synthetic rubber compound noted for its high durability, chemical resistance, and allergen-free nature. Unlike latex gloves, nitrile gloves do not contain latex proteins and are, therefore, suitable for people allergic to latex. The manufacturing method combines raw materials to create the nitrile compound, which is then moulded and vulcanized to increase strength and durability.

Advancement in market
A Vietnamese glove manufacturer hopes to purchase 15 acres in the southeast Arkansas community of Lake Village for a business that will eventually employ up to 300 people. Phu Duc Huy US Inc. has been negotiating the purchase of land. The land will cost approximately $400,000 and will be used to house a nitrile glove manufacturing facility. These are powder-free, non-latex gloves commonly used in the medical industry and by the Department of Defence. Phu Duc Huy will lease and use an existing warehouse on the site for storage.
Market Dynamics
Driver: The expanding healthcare industry.
The COVID-19 epidemic and the rise of the healthcare sector have positively influenced the increasing demand and growth of medical nitrile gloves. The pandemic caused a surge in demand for nitrile gloves to safeguard front-line personnel and patients. The urgent need to implement tight infection control measures and increased public awareness of the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) resulted in a large increase in glove usage. Furthermore, the rapid spread of the infection necessitated extensive use of gloves. The expansion of the healthcare sector, fueled by population growth, ageing demographics, and developments in medical technology, has increased demand for nitrile gloves. The growing demand for healthcare services has necessitated creating and expanding healthcare infrastructure, including hospitals and clinics. As healthcare facilities grow, the demand for dependable and sanitary medical supplies, such as nitrile gloves, becomes critical to patient safety. As a result, the rise of the healthcare industry will boost the worldwide medical nitrile gloves market.
Restraints: The price of medical nitrile gloves.
Nitrile gloves are often more expensive, determined by factors such as raw material costs, production procedures, quality and performance standards, and market dynamics. Nitrile rubber, the major material used in nitrile glove manufacturing, is produced from petroleum. Hence, fluctuations in oil prices can have a direct impact on production costs. Production involves sophisticated manufacturing procedures. The complicated manufacturing procedures required to create nitrile gloves and tight quality control requirements drive increased production costs. Furthermore, market characteristics such as demand changes and supply chain interruptions can impact pricing, causing price volatility and affordability concerns among end users. As a result, the high costs associated with medical nitrile gloves may hinder market expansion.
Opportunities: Technological breakthroughs and strong regulatory framework.
Stringent safety standards and technological improvements drive demand and growth for medical nitrile gloves. Regulatory compliance requires the usage of gloves, especially in healthcare environments, to safeguard the safety of workers and patients. Technological advances in glove manufacture have resulted in the creation of nitrile gloves with improved performance qualities. Material innovations have led to more durable, flexible, and chemically resistant gloves. Furthermore, research and development activities will focus on resolving emerging issues and trends, resulting in the introduction of specialized gloves targeted to certain applications, which will help drive future market expansion. As a result, technical developments and stringent safety requirements would help the market expand and flourish over the forecast period.
Challenges: Disposal concerns.
The environmental impact of medical nitrile gloves stems from their non-biodegradable nature, waste generation, limited recycling options, and potential for littering and pollution. Nitrile gloves do not readily break down in the environment, leading to long-term pollution and habitat degradation when improperly disposed of. The widespread use of nitrile gloves across various industries exacerbates the problem of plastic waste accumulation, contributing to environmental pollution and ecological harm. Additionally, the production of nitrile gloves relies on petroleum-derived raw materials, further depleting finite fossil fuel reserves and exacerbating resource depletion and carbon emissions. Improper disposal of nitrile gloves can result in environmental pollution and harm to wildlife. Therefore, the environmental concerns arising from the non-biodegradable nature and lack of proper disposable will challenge the market's growth.
