2. Executive Summary
Over the past few years, there has been a notable rise in the demand of gloves whenever there is an outbreak of flu or viral diseases. During and
after such outbreaks, there is a sudden change in the demand for rubber gloves due to increased hygiene concerns. In addition, the demand for
gloves from food industry and others services as those involved in the provision of spa facilities, manicure, pedicure, tattooing and hair styling
services is also set to increase.
The market for rubber gloves is highly competitive with few large players dominating both global and regional markets. All these companies have
rolled out their production plans to increase their capacities, supply better products and to meet the increasing demand globally. Although the
industry has maintained its growth momentum, the major bottlenecks are foreign exchange risks, threat from pricing competition, sudden upward
movement in raw material prices and competitive threats from neighboring countries.
The key factors driving growth of the global rubber gloves industry include rising number of ageing population, increasing healthcare expenditure,
introduction of new production lines to drive efficiency and earnings, increasing potential of emerging markets and emergence of pandemics.
Some of the noteworthy trends and developments of this industry are shifting demand from natural rubber glove to synthetic rubber glove,
strengthening dollar and falling crude oil prices, no significant cost hike for glove makers in 2015, NBR glove sales expectation to be stronger,
capacity constraints in NBR segment easing, and rubber prices firming up into the wintering period.
