Rubber gloves are protective hand covers that help minimize exposure to dangerous or harmful environments. They safeguard individuals from chemicals, stains, dust, oily substances, and infections. They are manufactured by dipping a ceramic or metal former that mimics the shape of a hand in a liquid compounded latex. At present, there is a surge in the requirement for personal protective equipment (PPE) on account of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. This, in turn, is catalyzing the demand for rubber gloves across the globe.

Rubber Gloves Market Trends:
The increasing awareness among the masses about personal hygiene represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Moreover, there is a prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) around the world. As a result, rubber gloves are increasingly being employed in the healthcare industry as they help protect the hands of medical professionals from coming into contact with bodily fluids, such as blood, urine, feces, and mucous membranes. Besides this, rubber gloves are utilized in gardening as they are water-resistant, cost-effective, and reusable. In addition, they protect hands from harmful chemicals, such as insecticides and herbicides. Apart from this, rubber gloves find extensive applications in battery manufacturing, food processing, graphic arts, and automotive and aircraft assembly. Furthermore, they can be used when handling meat or chopping hot peppers like jalapenos, wherein the spicy oils can be transferred from hands to the face or eyes. Rubber gloves can also be utilized in personal-care activities, such as dyeing hair, as they shield hands from dyes that are not easy to remove. This, coupled with stringent government policies concerning industrial safety, is augmenting the overall sales and profitability.
