North America
2020-2027
Disposable nitrile gloves market size was valued at USD 2,115.48 million in 2020 and is projected to be worth USD 5,294.71million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 14.11% during the forecast period.
Market Overview:
Nitrile is the material of choice for manufacturing disposable medical gloves and other industrial-grade gloves used in risky work environments where different types of sharp objects are used. Nitrile gloves protect from cuts, bruises, piercings, and other physical injuries.Disposable nitrile gloves are made of synthetic rubber that resembles latex yet will have better resistance to punctures. Nitrile comes in powdered form, sterile, non-sterile, and offered at different lengths from wrist to forearm.Disposable nitrile gloves are used at workplaces across several industries, ranging from the food processing industry to the aerospace and defense industries. Over the past few years, the preference for disposable nitrile gloves has increased compared to latex and vinyl gloves. This increase in preference can be attributed to their superior protection level offered by disposable nitrile gloves against several oil-based chemicals, high puncture resistance, versatility, and robustness. These attributes make them more suitable for sustaining wear while working in high-risk environments which involve contact with abrasive or hazardous materials.
The growth of the global disposable nitrile gloves market is expected to be driven by key factors such as increasing preference for the use of these gloves at workplaces across several industries and growing awareness on preventing healthcare-associated infections. Additionally, the growing number of patients suffering from infectious diseases and the increasing number of surgeries globally are supporting the growth of the disposable nitrile gloves market. However, factors such as increased counterfeiting of products are expected to restrict the disposable nitrile gloves marketgrowth.
COVID-19 Analysis:
The emergence of COVID-19 has badly affected almost all the industry verticals across the globe. The supply chain is the key to fulfilling customer demands. Due to COVID-19, several countries put on certain restrictions on imports and exports. Due to the dependency of most of the disposable nitrile gloves markets on imports from manufacturers based in Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, the disposable nitrile gloves industry has been badly affected. These manufacturers are abiding by the COVID-19 corporate guidelines, which have either halted their operations or are compelled to operate at partial capacity. Moreover, the import restrictions have led to a shortage of disposable nitrile gloves, which resulted in increased counterfeiting activities, thereby negatively impacting the manufacturers and the market itself.
Market Dynamics:
Drivers
Disposable nitrile gloves help protect the workers against skin irritation, decrease the risk of cuts, burns, andabrasions, and prevent infection. In addition, disposable nitrile gloves are also safe for electronics and materials made of glass and metal that the workers handle or encounter while working.
Surgical site infections and infections associated with procedures using catheters and ventilators are common.Several factors are responsible for the prevalence of such infections, among which inadequate hygienic conditions and waste disposal are some of the major causes of such infections.
Restraints
Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand are the key manufacturing countries in the disposable nitrile gloves industry. About 70 billion gloves manufactured in these countries are imported annually by the US.
Opportunities
The companies producing disposable nitrile gloves can collaborate or partner with regional players in Asia to lower the cost of sourcing raw materials. Similarly, outsourcing the production process or making supply agreements for recurring revenue generation are some of the strategic decisions manufacturers and distributors can opt for.

Value Chain Analysis / Technology Analysis / Regulatory Implications
The supply chain for the global disposable nitrile gloves market is categorized into four levels, design & development, procurement of raw materials, manufacturing, sales & distribution, and post-sales monitoring.The manufacturing process of disposable nitrile gloves starts with the dipping of clean glove forms in a nitrate resolution, followed by coagulation of the resolution on the glove form. The resolution coagulant is then left to dry uniformly on the glove form.
Segment Overview
The global disposable nitrile gloves market has been divided based on typeand application.
By Type
On the basis of type, the market is bifurcated into powder-free and powdered.The powdered segmentis expected to register a CAGR of 12.90% from 2021 to 2027.
Powder-free disposable nitrile gloves offer more versatility and provide higher resistance against oil, water, and chemicals. Also, the powder-free design makes them ideal for the foodservice industry as the contamination risk is much lower than powdered gloves.
Powdered disposable nitrile gloves are easy to wear and remove, owing to the corn-starch—which acts as a lubricant—added to them during manufacturing. However, when worn for a long duration, the corn-starch can cause allergic reactions or sensitivity issues.
By Application
On the basis of application, the market is bifurcated into medical and non-medical.The medical segment accounts for the largest share and is anticipated to reach USD4,110.81 million by 2027.
The disposable nitrile gloves used for medical purposes include various applications. The applications include end users such as hospitals, clinics, surgical centers, rehab centers, analytical laboratories, diagnostic laboratories, and research institutes.
These include disposable nitrile gloves used in industries besides the healthcare sector. Their superior protection level against several oil-based chemicals, high puncture resistance, versatility, and robustness make them useful for a range of industries, including manufacturing, food service, and electronics.
Global Disposable Nitrile Gloves Market Share (%), by Region, 2020
Source: MRFR Analysis
Regional Analysis
Based on region, the global disposable nitrile gloves market is studied across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa.
The Americas accounted for a market share of 42.58% in 2020 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12.93% during the forecast period. Thishigh proportion of the market share of the Americas can be attributed to an increase in imports of disposable nitrile gloves and an increasing number of healthcare-related infections over the past decade.
According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the average prevalence of HAIsis estimated to be 7.1% in European countries. Among factors resulting in the prevalence of such infections, inadequate hygienic conditions and waste disposal are primarily responsible. Therefore, it can be implied that disposable nitrile gloves play an important role in risk management, particularly in healthcare facilities. Thus, the European disposable nitrile gloves market is expected to have a considerable CAGR of14.36%.
Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing region for the global disposable nitrile gloves market. This is attributed to the rising prevalence of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and measles, the growing risk of HAIs &associated risk awareness programs, and healthcare development assistance & foreign aid to low-income countries.
Middle East & Africa:
The Middle East & Africa disposable nitrile gloves market is bifurcated into the Middle East and Africa. The growth of the food manufacturing and service industries in the region is expected to have a positive impact on the demand for disposable nitrile gloves.
Competitive Landscape
The global disposable nitrile gloves market is expected to grow significantly in the forecastyear due to increasing preference fornitrile gloves at workplaces across several industries and growing awareness on the prevention of healthcare-associated infection (HAI).
The leading playerssuch as Ansell (Australia), Medline Industries (US), and Paul Hartmann (Germany) are dominating the market due to their advanced product offerings, high industry experience, and regional reach. These players may establish their presence worldwide through strategic partnerships and acquisitions during the forecast period. Players with access to better technologies can develop unique and innovative products, which could render the competitors' offerings obsolete.For instance, in September 2018, Ansell (US) launched Microflex 93-850, a disposable nitrile glove that offers a higher level of protection for workers in demanding environments.Therefore, the competitive environment in the market is likely to intensify due to the rising number of product launches, contracts, and geographic expansions.
