On the flip side, long-term exposure to medical gloves may result in skin rashes, irritation, itchiness, and other skin issues, thereby hampering the market in the coming years. Nevertheless, increasing efforts by market players to launch user-friendly disposable gloves made from different materials are likely to create lucrative business opportunities for the market in the coming years.
North America Held Largest Share Backed by Stringent Health & Safety Regulations
Geographically, North America generated USD 2.68 billion in revenue and emerged as the region with the highest disposable medical gloves market share in 2019, followed by Europe. This is attributable to the growing awareness about prevention of healthcare-related infections. The increasing demand for better quality polyisoprene medical gloves for surgical purposes is also giving a boost to the regional market growth.

Companies to Focus on Launching Allergy-free Gloves to Compete for Top Position
The global market for disposable medical gloves is consolidated on account of a few players holding the majority shares. Most of the Malaysian suppliers have a firm grip on the rubber gloves demand and supply chain. Companies such as Hartalega Holdings Bhd., Top Glove Corporation, and others are holding about 63% or more of the rubber gloves supply chain on account of the availability of natural rubber latex in the Malaysian region.
On the other side, Molnlycke Health Care AB, Cardinal Health, and Ansell are the leading players dealing in surgical gloves. These players are engaging in product expansion activities. They are therefore investing heavily in developing allergy-free gloves and alternatives to powdered latex gloves for gaining a competitive position in the market.
Industry Development:
June 2019 – A new medical glove was launched by Top Glove Corporation Bhd called the BioGreen Biodegradable Nitrile Gloves. They are environment-friendly in nature and are powder-free, thereby serving as a safer version of the company's disposable nitrile gloves.
