A recent study, conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm BlueWeave Consulting, revealed that the India disposable medical gloves market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.1% during the forecast period of 2022-2028. The growth of the India disposable medical gloves market can be attributed to the rising burden of various infectious and chronic diseases across the country, along with the growing demand for various surgical procedures for treatment purposes. Furthermore, a flourishing medical tourism industry in India is anticipated to fuel the demand for disposable medical gloves during the forecast period. As surgical team members constantly change gloves during surgery, disposable medical gloves are witnessing high demand as the use of single gloves for long periods of time is unsafe because of the risks of contamination, and external exposure. Moreover, due to the surge in market demand, medical gloves manufacturers in India are also investing in expanding their production capacity to meet the domestic demand, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the growing penetration of used and defective disposable medical gloves may act as a huge restraining factor for the disposable medical gloves market in India.

Increasing Burden of Infectious Diseases Anticipated to Drive India Disposable Medical Gloves Market

Lack of proper hygiene and sanitation make India vulnerable to infectious diseases. Various infectious diseases are endemic to the rural and urban populations, such as visceral leishmaniasis, dengue fever, malaria, rabies, etc. Therefore, the government and health organizations have issued strict guidelines that require the use of disposable gloves during the medical examination and diagnostic tests of patients to prevent the possibility of cross-contamination among healthcare workers and patients, which is driving the market growth.

Flourishing Medical Tourism Projected to Drive Market Growth During the Forecast Period

India is among the most attractive destinations for medical tourism around the world. Medical tourism in India ranks 6th worldwide, according to a report.
