• Increased Use of Latex Gloves in Non-Medical Industries: Towards this, impact-absorbent medical disposable gloves are now worn by other non-medical fields such as the food processing industry, automotive industry, and cleaning services. Due to the improved hygiene and health standards in different industries, latex gloves have become a common element in the prevention of exposure to harmful contaminants as well as to chemicals. In line with this trend, there has been an increase in demand for such gloves beyond the wearable use in the health care sector and this has led to an increase in growth as well as diversification of the latex glove market.
