Scope of Global Nitrile Gloves Market Report:

Nitrile is a synthetic copolymer made by combining acrylonitrile and butadiene and is contains no latex protein. This synthetic material produces gloves that are up to three times more puncture resistance than latex. And this is why it is widely used in many industries. Nitrile gloves were developed in the 1980s by two guys, Neil Tillitson and Luc DeBecker. In 1990, the final manufacturing formula and technique were finalized. The Tillitson Corporation received the patent for the Nitrile glove formula and manufacturing process in the late 1990s. Nitrile gloves are powdered and powder-free with a number of types, thicknesses, and ranges of colors, which can aid in sizing differentiation and cross-contamination prevention. Nitrile gloves are puncture resistance, latex-free and chemical resistance, which is a result of the acrylonitrile monomer. Mineral oils, vegetable oils, grease, gasoline, diesel fuel, and many acids are all resistant to Nitrile.

This is why these gloves are popular in medical, automotive, food processing, janitorial, manufacturing, and industrial applications for safety purposes. Nitrile is a flexible rubber that provides optimum tactile sensitivity to its users. Furthermore, when Nitrile gloves warm up from body heat, they adhere to the shape of the hands. This attribute provides exceptional dexterity, which is especially necessary for medical professionals or people who work with small parts or equipment. Dentists prefer this material because of its strength and durability, which is important when working with sharp tools. Dentists and hygienists can better maintain a protective barrier between themselves and their patients by wearing Nitrile gloves.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, careful steps taken by governments in several countries resulted in the temporary suspension of the manufacturing sector, as well as a serious disruption of the supply chain. The market for nitrile gloves has harmed as a result of the shutdown. But the pandemic, had a positive impact on the nitrile gloves market as it pushed the demand for gloves to an extraordinary level. As gloves are an essential item to the healthcare industry for preventing the spread of Covid-19 and keeping medical and lab staff safe.

Increasing Use of Nitrile Gloves in the Industrial and Manufacturing Sectors, and Increasing Worker Safety Awareness, as well as Raising Concerns about Latex Allergies, are contributing to the Market Growth

Applications of nitrile gloves are increasing in many industries including medical, food processing, chemical as well as in automotive sector because of its various benefits such as nitrile gloves are puncture resistance, chemical resistance and its durability. India has a higher percentage of industrial workers than any other country, with China topping the list. Labor in India is employment in the Indian economy. By 2020, India had about 501 million workers, the second largest after China. Out of which, agro-industry comprises 41.19 percent, industrial sector comprises 26.18 percent and service sector comprises 32.33 percent of the total labor force.

More than 94 percent of these work in unorganized, unorganized industries, from pushcart vendors to domestic diamond and gem polishing operations. The organized sector consists of workers employed by the government, state-owned enterprises, and private sector enterprises. In 2008, 27.5 million workers were employed in the organized sector, of which 17.3 million were working for the government or state-owned enterprises. This huge number of workers in the industrial and agricultural industries indicates that a number of safety devices are required for industrial workers. In the last few years, many governments have changed their employee safety rules. So many industries are now focusing on worker safety. Therefore, the demand for nitrile gloves is increasing in the market. According to the Brandessence research of plastic surgeons, annual plastic surgery procedural statistics, about 17.5 million surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic operations were performed in the U.S. in 2017; it increased by 2% from 2016. For conducting these surgeries the doctors and medical staff are advised to use gloves to avoid infection and cross-contamination.

Furthermore, increasing incidences of chronic wounds are also supplementing the demand for nitrile gloves. About 1% to 2 % of the population in developed countries experiences a chronic wound during their lifetime. Infections including cellulitis and infective venous eczema, as well as gangrene, hemorrhage, and lower-extremity amputations, are all common complications of chronic wounds. So to avoid infections doctors advised to use gloves. As a result, the need for nitrile gloves is growing. The increasing awareness regarding safety of workers is driving the growth of market. Raising concern regarding hygiene and latex allergy are further boosting the demand for nitrile gloves.

However, synthetic nitrile rubber polymer is more expensive to manufacture as compared to the others and nitrile gloves are made up of polymer which pollutes the land and water in significant amounts and the government has imposed strict regulations on polymer products. This factor may hamper the growth of global nitrile gloves market. In spite of that, nitrile gloves give extra protection than other gloves and they are latex-free which a great option is for individuals sensitive to latex allergy. This can offer more opportunities for the further growth of the global nitrile gloves market.

North America is Expected to Dominate the Global Nitrile Gloves Market

North America region is expected to dominate the global nitrile gloves market. The rising concern regarding latex allergy and increasing healthcare expenditure are the major driving factors for the nitrile gloves market in North America. Nitrile gloves contain no latex, they are latex-free and safe for people suffering from a latex allergy and for doctors who serve patients with latex allergies. For instance; according to the Journal of Occupational Health 2016; about 4.3 percent of the general population has a latex allergy. Latex allergy is more common in certain occupations; approximately 9.7 percent of health care workers have a latex allergy.

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, National healthcare expenditure increased by 4.6 percent to USD 3.8 trillion in 2019, or USD 11,582 per person, and accounted for 17.7percent of GDP. Private businesses accounted for 19.1 percent of overall healthcare spending, state and local governments for 16.1 percent, and other private revenues for 7.5 percent. Other industrial workers and construction workers' numbers are also high in North America. That's why the demand for nitrile gloves is high in North America.

Also, Asia Pacific is the next growth market for nitrile gloves due to the increasing industrialization and increasing awareness about the benefits of nitrile gloves is driving the market. According to the United Nations of Industrial Development Organization; the manufacturing output of China in the second quarter of 2020 has increased by 2.8 percent in a year-over-year comparison. This is also benefiting for the nitrile gloves market in this region.
