" The medical gloves market in 2021 is anticipated to be ~USD 10 billion, and it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of over 8% from 2022 to 2030. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the importance and awareness of health and hospitals, and promoted the demand and use of protective equipment. The increasing prevalence of chronic and acute diseases, infectious diseases, and increasing attention to safety and disinfection will promote the demand for medical gloves. The increase in the number of medical centers in emerging economies and the increase in the frequency of operations are some of the main factors that stimulate market growth.
Medical gloves are a type of personal protective equipment used to protect users and patients from the risk of cross-contamination and infection during medical operations, examinations, and other procedures. They are an integral part of the infection control protocol. These gloves are composed of various types of polymers, such as nitrile rubber, latex, polyvinyl chloride, and neoprene. Medical gloves help reduce the risk of spreading bacteria in the medical environment.
However, the adverse health effects associated with the use of gloves and the extremely competitive prices of local manufacturers may adversely affect the expansion of the medical glove market. There are several reports of allergic reactions, irritation and exposure of medical staff using powdered latex gloves. This is due to the high concentration of protein in latex.
These proteins promote type I (allergic) allergic reactions in healthcare workers wearing these gloves. Inhalation of cornstarch dust present in latex gloves can also cause allergic reactions. Inhalation of cornstarch powder can cause acute asthma attacks and anaphylactic shock in medical staff, and lead to life-threatening complications. In addition, the US FDA has decided to ban powdered gloves because it poses a huge risk of disease or infection to users, which may hinder litigation. Medical gloves are closely monitored by the US FDA and are classified as Class I reserved medical devices.
Therefore, these gloves require a 510 (k) pre-market notification before they go on the market. The FDA regulates these devices to maintain standard performance parameters, including tear resistance, leakage resistance, and biocompatibility. The FDA also requires glove manufacturers to provide appropriate glove labels to reduce the risk of possible allergic reactions. Therefore, strict compliance and time-consuming regulatory documents will limit the development of the industry.
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented health problem worldwide and has had a positive impact on the medical glove market. However, the coronavirus outbreak has disrupted the procurement, distribution and supply chain of raw materials, and imposed travel restrictions that restrict the movement of goods. However, in order to prevent the spread of the virus, the demand for personal protective equipment and medical supplies has been increasing.
The pandemic has changed people’s perceptions of minimal exposure to infection risks, and the use of protective medical supplies has also exploded among the general population. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the European Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) recently issued regulatory compliance.
These compliance recommendations recommend the use of gloves in healthcare environments and communities. According to research by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the demand for medical supplies, especially personal protective equipment, masks and medical gloves. In some countries, the infection rate has doubled, and the increase in hospitalizations and various measures taken to reduce the spread of the coronavirus have led to a sharp increase in the use of medical gloves. Therefore, the pandemic will have a significant impact on the expansion of the industry.
INCREASING AWARENESS OF HYGIENE AND SAFETY IN THE HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT WILL INCREASE MARKET VALUE OF MEDICAL GLOVES:
