The report gives a detailed analysis of the following key players in the global nitrile gloves market, covering their competitive landscape and the latest developments like mergers, acquisitions, investments and expansion plans.
The demand for powder-free nitrile gloves has been on the rise due to its increasing preference in various industries as they help reduce the incidences of allergies and skin irritation unlike powdered gloves. Additionally, many governments worldwide have implemented strict regulations on powdered gloves usage.
The surging demand for powder-free nitrile gloves in the healthcare sector has significantly impacted the global nitrile gloves market expansion. This can be attributed to the gloves’ powder-free properties and their ability to not leave any residue, making them more suitable for use in healthcare settings.
Powder-free gloves are produced through a process called chlorination or by adding polymer coatings such as silicones, acrylics, and hydrogels. These processes allow the manufacturing of gloves that are less form-fitting than their latex counterparts.
Furthermore, powder-free nitrile gloves are becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry due to their residue-free nature.
