Polythene disposable glove market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period. The key driving factor is the increasing stringency of safety and hygiene regulations across industries like healthcare, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. Regulatory bodies, such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada, have mandated the use of disposable gloves to maintain hygiene standards and prevent contamination. Compliance with these regulations is fueling the demand for polythene disposable gloves in the market. For instance, in March 2020, the US FDA enforced the guidance for industry and FDA staff under relevant sections of the FD&C Act.
Segmental Outlook
The global polythene disposable glove market is segmented based on the product type, application and distribution channel. Based on the product type, the market is sub-segmented into polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC or Vinyl), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and other (polystyrene, polypropylene). Based on the application, medical industry, food industry, chemical industry, manufacturing, and other (household). Based on distribution channel, the market is sub-segmented into wholesaling and direct selling, medical store, and online store. Among the product type, the Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC or Vinyl sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market, owing to its flexible plastic, lightweight, durable, and versatile characteristics.
The Manufacturing Industry Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Prominent Share in the Global Polythene Disposable Glove Market
Among the application, the manufacturing industry sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market, owing to the rising focus on occupational safety and hand protection drives the demand for the gloves in the manufacturing industry. The manufacturing industry involves various activities that pose risks to worker’s hands, such as handling sharp objects, chemicals, or abrasive materials. The increasing number of work injuries, propel the demand for hand gloves in the manufacturing industry. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, n 2021, there were 5,190 fatal work injuries recorded in the US, an 8.9% increase from 4,764 in 2020. Polythene disposable gloves provide a protective barrier, helping to prevent injuries and minimize the risk of exposure to hazardous substances.
Regional Outlook
The global polythene disposable glove market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, the Europe regional market is expected to grow over the forecast period, owing to the increasing emphasis on hygiene creating a surge in the demand for disposable gloves in the medical industry.
