Market Highlights

The Europe Gloves market is accounted to register a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 7,307.1 Million by 2030.

Gloves are specialized products designed to provide protection for hands in various industrial settings. These gloves are engineered to safeguard against specific hazards, such as chemicals, abrasions, cuts, punctures, heat, and other potential risks associated with industrial tasks. The healthcare sector is a major consumer of gloves, including surgical gloves and examination gloves. The ongoing need for medical procedures, surgeries, and patient care requires a steady supply of gloves to maintain hygiene standards and prevent the spread of infections. The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves. Health authorities, businesses, and individuals have adopted enhanced hygiene practices to reduce the risk of virus transmission, contributing to a heightened demand for disposable gloves. The general public's increased awareness of hygiene practices, especially during disease outbreaks, has led to greater glove usage in everyday activities. People were more conscious of preventing the spread of germs, leading to an uptick in the demand for gloves. Increase in medical and surgical procedure in the region is also expected to drive the Europe gloves market growth.

The accelerators in the glove manufacturing process are chemicals that are used to increase the binding speed between sulfur and the glove material. The products are dipped in chemical solutions of calcium carbonate and calcium nitrate. The risk of infection following the use of medical gloves is high. These gloves have been linked to a number of unfavorable skin reactions, such as allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, and contact urticaria. Long-term glove wear also increases the accumulation of moisture, which ultimately raises the risk of fungal infections. Furthermore, these chemicals are hazardous to the manufacturers who make gloves. Extended exposure causes headaches, nausea, appetite loss, and the typical signs and symptoms of weakness. As a result, the chemicals used in the glove-making process have potentially harmful health effects. These factors will impede Europe gloves market growth during the forecast period.
