Such health conditions frequently require surgical interventions. As safety is of utmost essence for healthcare professionals, the demand for medical disposable gloves is growing in proportion to rising surgical procedures, thereby, significantly driving the growth of the market.
- For instance, according to the report published by the National Library of Medicine in 2020, each year there are approximately 40-50 million surgeries performed in the USA and 20 million surgeries in Europe.
Disposable medical gloves find extensive application across diverse healthcare settings, encompassing hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and laboratories. They are commonly manufactured using materials such as latex, nitrile, or vinyl. Healthcare professionals highly utilize these gloves to uphold cleanliness standards and effectively curtail the transmission of infections. Their importance becomes particularly pronounced in medical examinations, surgical interventions, and wound care procedures, which include direct contact with patients or potentially contaminated materials.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the global medical disposable gloves market. The outbreak of COVID-19 has increased awareness regarding personal hygiene. This led to a surge in the need for disposable gloves in healthcare settings and in other industries, such as food handling and sanitation, which boosted the market growth.
Medical Disposable Gloves Market Dynamics

Medical Disposable Gloves Market Segment Insights
Material Segment Analysis
Based on material, the medical disposable gloves market is divided into latex, nitrile, vinyl, and others. The latex segment is estimated to hold a major revenue share of the market during the forecast period, due to its excellent barrier properties and strong tensile strength. Latex offers a snug and comfortable fit, which allows healthcare professionals to perform delicate tasks for a long time. This material provides a high level of protection against chemical and biohazards.
The nitrile segment is anticipated to expand at a robust growth rate in the coming years, owing to its durability, puncture resistance, and superior barrier protection properties. The advantage of nitrile material, including its hypoallergenic nature, makes it an excellent alternative for individuals with latex allergies.
This contributes to the increasing adoption of nitrile gloves, as they offer a safe and comfortable option. Furthermore, manufacturers are using advanced eco-friendly materials to produce nitrile medical gloves, which is fuelling their demand in the market.
- For instance, Cranberry, a global supplier of nitrile gloves, announced the launch of new biodegradable nitrile gloves to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly medical products. These gloves contain a unique additive that causes microbial activity to break them down up to 90% in 1.5 years after being disposed of, while still exceeding standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials for tensile strength and force at break.
Application Segment Analysis
On the basis of application, the market is classified as examination, surgical, and others. The examination segment is expected to hold a large market share during the forecast period, due to the high adoption of medical gloves in routine medical examinations and other procedures.
Disposable gloves are important in examination procedures in medical settings, such as hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, and ambulatory surgical services. The need to avoid transmission of viruses and pathogens between patients and medical professionals is further likely to fuel the segment in the coming years.
The surgical segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR in the coming years, owing to the rising demand for surgical gloves in surgical procedures to minimize the occurrence of contamination or infection. These gloves create strong barrier protection and ensure the safety of medical professionals. High puncture resistance and elasticity associated with surgical disposable gloves further contribute to segment growth.
- For instance, on October 15, 2020, Mölnlycke, a global medical solution provider, announced the launch of its new innovative Biogel PI UltraTouch S surgical glove. These skin-friendly gloves are designed to reduce the risks of allergic contact dermatitis, which often occurs among surgeons and nurses working in surgical rooms.
