The global medical gloves market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The key factors that drive the market include the benefits offered by medical gloves. Medical gloves are vital in microbial protection, both for medical professionals and patients. As per the CDC, gloves are used by health professionals in order to minimize the risk of microbial transmission from patients to medical personnel, protect patients against the transfer of bacterial flora from medical workers, minimize the contamination of the hands of medical personnel with transient microbial flora which may be transferred from one patient to another. Gloves reduce the likelihood of contamination of the hands with bacterial flora by about 70–80%.
Further, the increased incidences of infectious diseases also encourage the adoption of these gloves amongst the users. Besides, some microorganisms, such as hepatitis B or herpes virus, can pass through the microscopic pores formed during normal use of gloves or be transferred when gloves are removed from the hands in a non-aseptic manner. Thus, for this situation, medical gloves are mandated, which in turn, enhances the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, to ensure that the gloves preserve their protective function, appropriate care should be taken during their handling and use. It is also necessary to remove them from the hands with due care and dispose of them immediately after use, thereby reducing the likelihood of cross-transmission of microorganisms.
