Middle East and Africa Disposable Gloves Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Material (Natural Rubber, Nitrile, Neoprene, Polyethylene, and Others), Type (Powdered and Powder Free), Application (Examination and Surgical), and End User (Hospital and Clinics, Diagnostic Centers, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Home Healthcare, and Others)
The disposable gloves market in the MEA is expected to grow from US$ 347.74 million in 2021 to US$ 694.45 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2021 to 2028.
At present, the prevention of transmissible infections in surgical practice environments is becoming increasingly important. The proper usage and selection of medical gloves are key components in infection prevention methods. Powdered gloves are associated with various health complications, such as latex allergies, which lead to the reduced use of these gloves.
Surgeons do not wash powdered gloves before use, which may lead to various complications. Exposure to starch powder from surgical and examination gloves leads to adverse reactions, ranging from well-known allergy symptoms and upper respiratory tract disorders to adhesions, granulomas, pleuritis, myocarditis, central nervous system inflammation. Such conditions lead to an increase in hospitalization time or even involve additional surgery.
Due to the risks associated with gloves powder, in January 2017, the FDA banned powdered gloves (both surgical and patient evaluation gloves) in the public health sector. Hence there is a shift toward powder-free medical gloves as they generally contain low chemicals and endotoxins, which mitigates allergic reactions and skin diseases. Due to the growing demand for powder-free medical gloves, the key market players are launching powder-free medical gloves, which fuels the growth of the market.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the market. The disposable gloves market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
