The global industrial gloves market was valued at $6.9 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $14.8 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2020 to 2027.

Industrial gloves are used as a personal protective equipment in various industries such as automotive, food, and healthcare, to ensure worker's safety and maintain sanitary conditions at work places. These gloves help to avoid cross contamination and exposure to particulate matter during the manufacturing process across various industries. The industrial gloves can be disposable as well as reusable on the basis of requirement of specific work environment. The reusable gloves are generally thicker and are used in harsher work environment, whereas the disposable gloves are usually used in product protection and milder work environment. Due to the harsh work environment the threat of injury to the hands of the workers has been increased significantly, thus creating an impending need for industrial gloves. Industrial gloves including reusable and disposable gloves have addressed this need as they offer hand protection and product protection, respectively.

The increase in awareness about work safety, rise in variety of threats to the personnel, rapid developments in food processing industry, and rise in demand for high dexterity gloves, are some of the key factors that drive the growth of the global industrial gloves market during the forecast period. In addition, the outbreak of epidemics such as swine flu, resulting in increased use of gloves in product protection applications significantly fosters the growth of the industrial gloves market.

However, factors restraining the market growth include availability of local & inexpensive gloves and lack of awareness regarding usage of industrial gloves. The implementation of innovated technologies is expected to offer better growth prospects for the growth of the industrial glove market in the future.
