Global Low and Medium Voltage Electrician Gloves Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Electrician gloves are commonly used safety tools and important insulation protective equipment in power operation, maintenance and overhaul tests. Electrician gloves are one of the most important personal protective equipment for electricians. To be effective, electrical safety gloves must have high dielectric and physical strength, as well as flexibility and durability. There are many grades of electrician gloves, from 0 to 4. The rated value of low and medium voltage electrician gloves is 0-2, and the rated value of high voltage gloves is higher.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Low and Medium Voltage Electrician Gloves market finds that the global Low and Medium Voltage Electrician Gloves market reached a value of USD 263.56 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 323.8 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.49% during the forecast period.

Safety performance continues to improve

Electrician gloves are different from safety gloves for general labor protection. They require good insulation properties, abrasion resistance, mechanical properties, high temperature aging resistance and corrosion resistance. With the development of the electric power industry and the promotion of live working technology, as well as the increase in demand from downstream application industries, more stringent requirements will be put forward on the safety performance of low- and medium-voltage electrician gloves. Therefore, technological development and product innovation are also expected to provide lucrative opportunities for manufacturers of low- and medium-voltage electrician gloves in the near future.

Improved comfort and flexibility

For protective tools, once the safety requirements are met, comfort is another feature that needs to be considered. Fitted gloves that can effectively use both hands will be favored by workers. The best low- and medium-voltage electrician gloves can provide the necessary insulation, shock and cut protection, while improving user comfort, flexibility and overall productivity. Therefore, leading glove manufacturers will pay more attention to the improvement of glove comfort and flexibility.

Increased safety awareness

People are increasingly aware of protecting the workforce from accidents in the workplace, which drives the demand for protective gloves. This safety awareness involves not only usage requirements, but also how to choose suitable rubber insulation equipment to protect workers and employers from injury, lost time, costly damage, legal liabilities, increased insurance premiums, and huge regulatory fines. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has established certain safety regulations to ensure the safety and performance of electrical safety gloves. The U.S. Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have also implemented a bill to protect the health and safety of workers in the United States. Therefore, the increased awareness of worker safety and safety is driving the demand for low- and medium-voltage electrician gloves.

Complexity of use and storage

Low and medium voltage electrician gloves should be checked carefully before use every day. Users should look for signs of ozone breakdown, texture changes, swelling, hardening or softening. After any incident that may cause damage during the working day, the gloves should also be checked immediately. To help minimize the chance of product degradation, low and medium voltage electrician gloves must also be stored properly. Gloves should be stored in a controlled environment that is neither too hot nor too cold. Likewise, gloves should not be stored in direct sunlight or near abrasive chemicals that may cause damage. The complexity of use and storage may have some adverse effects on the user experience, thereby posing challenges to market development.
