Surgical Gloves Market Analysis

Surgical gloves serve as a barrier of protection. During surgical procedures, surgical gloves aim to stop potential disease transmission between patients and medical staff, including doctors, nurses, and surgeons. The primary purpose of surgical gloves is to shield the patient from infection while undergoing invasive procedures. Additionally, it shields the hand from potentially infectious substances. The most often utilized surgical materials are latex, neoprene, polyisoprene, and nitrile. There are two types of materials: latex and synthetic. These gloves come in different sizes and provide precise and accurate surgery. Most of them are offered in sterile form. Most of them are offered in sterile form. There are primarily two varieties of these gloves: powdered and powder-free. The powdered materials used are talc, lycopodium powder, and cornstarch powder. In essence, these powdered ingredients aid in preventing perspiration. Additionally, the powdered materials are used to fully lubricate the gloves, making them extremely helpful for the surgeons. The number of patients with chronic illnesses has increased, contributing to the overall growth, and this trend is anticipated to continue throughout the forecast period.

Surgical Gloves Market Overview

By using disposable medical gloves, masks, or gowns, healthcare workers can reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is therefore essential. Among these, medical gloves were frequently used by the public as a tool for medical personnel and society to prevent infections.  Hands are one of the main ways that infections spread. While hand washing is generally effective in getting rid of most microorganisms, there are situations where exposure warrants the use of an extra layer of protection. These reasons make wearing medical gloves essential when doing invasive procedures or visiting sterile areas.  This leads to increased use of surgical gloves, thereby driving the demand. This, in turn, drives the growth of the market.

Surgical Gloves Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increase in Prevalence of Infectious Diseases to Favor Market

Infection contracted in any healthcare facility, such as a hospital, is termed healthcare-associated infection (HAI). The most common unit where HAI is contracted is the intensive care unit, where healthcare professionals treat serious diseases.

The extent to which healthcare settings can contribute to the spread of infections, harming patients, health workers, and visitors if insufficient attention is paid to infection prevention and control (IPC), has been brought to light by the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent large disease outbreaks. However, a recent World Health Organization (WHO) study demonstrates that 70% of those infections can be avoided where appropriate hand hygiene and other economic measures are used. According to WHO, seven patients from high-income countries and fifteen from low- and middle-income countries will get at least one healthcare-associated infection (HAI) during their hospital stay out of every 100 patients in acute-care hospitals. One in ten afflicted patients will, on average, pass away from their HAI. Thus, the increase in the prevalence of infectious diseases is expected to see exponential growth over the forecast period.

Growing Awareness of Hygiene and Infection Control – An Opportunity in Surgical Gloves Market

In many industries, using personal protective equipment (PPE) to keep workers safe while they do their daily business has become increasingly important in recent years due to the complexity of population health concerns. Gloves are among the most widely used and important types of protection. Health awareness significantly (up to 30%) lowers disease incidence. Thus, profit and non-profit organizations are taking initiatives to enhance hygiene awareness. For instance, the recently released WHO report offers the first-ever global situation analysis, including country and regional focus, of how infection prevention and control (IPC) programs are being implemented globally. The report highlights the harm that healthcare workers and patients suffer from HAIs and antibiotic resistance.
