Medical Gloves Market: Future Outlook

The medical gloves market is segmented based on Product (Examination Gloves, Surgical Gloves, Chemotherapy Gloves, Other Medical Gloves), Material (Natural Material, Synthetics Material [Nitrile, Vinyl, Neoprene, Polyethylene, Other Synthetic Materials]), Form (Powdered Gloves, Powder-free Gloves), Usage (Disposable Gloves, Reusable Gloves), Sterility (Sterile Gloves, Non-sterile Gloves), Cuff Type (Beaded, Beadless/Non-beaded), Size (Small, Medium, Large), Distribution Channel (Direct Channel, Retail Channel, Online/E-commerce Platforms), End User (Hospitals & Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Diagnostic Centers, Nursing Centers, Dental Clinics, Other End Users), and Geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.

Based on product, the medical gloves market is segmented into examination gloves, surgical gloves, chemotherapy gloves, and other medical gloves. In 2024, the examination gloves segment is expected to account for the largest share of the medical gloves market. The large market share can be attributed to the increasing cases of healthcare-associated infections coupled with various strategies aimed at controlling HAIs, the increasing number of visits to hospitals and clinics, and the expansion of medical facilities globally.

Based on material, the medical gloves market is segmented into natural material and synthetic material. In 2024, the synthetic material segment is expected to account for the larger share of 62.7% of the medical gloves market. The large market share can be attributed to the benefits offered by medical nitrile gloves, such as cost-effectiveness, excellent protection against germs and viruses, chemical resistance, and wide availability. Additionally, regulatory guidelines suggesting the use of synthetic gloves to avoid the risks of developing latex allergies also drive the demand for synthetic gloves.

Based on sterility, the medical gloves market is segmented into sterile gloves and non–sterile gloves. In 2024, the sterile gloves segment is expected to account for the larger share. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the increasing number of surgeries, the need to maintain the protection of the patients and healthcare professionals from potential cross-contamination and to maintain compliance with standards and regulations. Many regulatory guidelines regulate the use of sterile gloves to ensure patient safety and infection control.

Based on usage, the medical gloves market is segmented into disposable gloves and reusable gloves. In 2024, the disposable gloves segment is expected to account for the larger share of the medical gloves market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the rising concern for precautions for health and safety linked with medical care for patients and emergency response occurrences, in addition to concerns regarding on-the-job transmission of microorganisms and bloodborne diseases.

Based on end user, the medical gloves market is segmented into hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, diagnostic centers, nursing centers, dental clinics, and other end users. In 2024, the hospitals & clinics segment is expected to account for the largest share of 39.0% of the medical gloves market. Hospitals and clinics are the primary healthcare settings patients visit for medical counseling. Medical gloves are highly essential for in-patient examinations to eliminate the chances of cross-contamination. Thus, a large number of patient visits to hospitals and clinics coupled with expansions of medical facilities are driving the segment’s largest share.
