Market Definition

The global Cleanroom Disposable Gloves Market was valued at USD 1.93 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach USD 3.87 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.3% from 2023 to 2030. Cleanroom disposable gloves are special gloves worn to prevent cross-contamination while working in a cautious environment.

Cleanroom disposable gloves (CDG) have a comfortable and flexible feature for finger movement that helps in cleaning applications. These gloves are made from several materials such as natural rubber, nitrile, vinyl, and neoprene. CDGs are used to maintain hygiene and act as a protective barrier from various harmful substances such as chemicals while working in different industries. It also ensures the security of patients & health workers and safeguards against infections caused due to blood flow and pathogens as well as while performing diagnostic tests.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The rapid development in safety guidelines and regulations for both pharmaceutical and food industries regarding contamination across the globe is driving the growth of the cleanroom disposable gloves market. For instance, in November 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognized the need for personal protective equipment (PPE). This PPT includes medical gloves that can outpace the supply available to healthcare organizations to mitigate the risk of infection during the pandemic.

Also, the growing demand for cleanroom disposable gloves in the semiconductor industry is driving the growth of the market. In the semiconductor industry, it serves as a protective tool for cleanroom personnel and to prevent cross-contamination of manufactured products. For instance, cleanroom disposable gloves are used for monitoring trace levels of ionic contaminants and particulates while manufacturing semiconductors, which is expected to propel the cleanroom disposable gloves market growth.

Moreover, rising awareness among people about the safety standards and hygiene maintenance norms in the manufacturing units such as healthcare, beauty, and food industries among others, are further boosting the demand for cleanroom disposable gloves. 

The high price of raw materials for making CDGs along with the adoption of robots in various industries that reduce manual work are factors that are expected to restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period. On the contrary, various technological advancements and innovative gloves such as gloves containing anti-allergic material, fillers, and additives are expected to create ample growth opportunities for the cleanroom disposable gloves market in the coming years.

Geographical Analysis

Asia-Pacific held the dominant share of the cleanroom disposable gloves market and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing commitment of local manufacturers in terms of expanding their businesses. For instance, in June 2021, Rubberex proposed a private placement of up to 10% of its share capital to raise RM78.65 million. This investment was planned with the intent to acquire 28 double-former nitrile disposable glove production lines as part of the company’s expansion.

Also, the presence of emerging economies such as China and India, which are involved in the manufacturing of semiconductors products propels the growth of the market in this region. According to Semiconductor Industry Associations, in 2020, China's semiconductor sector experienced an extraordinary growth rate of 30.6%, reaching an annual revenue of USD 39.8 billion.

China is also making substantial investments in its semiconductor manufacturing sector, as evidenced by the announcement of 28 new fab construction projects with a combined funding of USD 26 billion in 2021. This kind of advancement in the semiconductor industry is further creating opportunities for the cleanroom disposable gloves market in the region.

North America is expected to show a steady rise in the cleanroom disposable gloves market during the forecast period. This is due to significant growth in the number of manufacturing facilities set up by the semiconductor companies such as Intel Corporation, Nvidia, and Texas Instruments. Also, the growth in demand for cleanroom space and ancillary consumables including PPE, catheters, examination gloves, safety sharps, and others in clinics and healthcare centers is driving the market growth.

Moreover, the presence of prominent players in the region such as Kimberly-Clark, AMMEX Corporation, and Renco Corporation is expected to drive the cleanroom disposable gloves market growth. In February 2022, Kimberly-Clark launched the Kimtech Opal Nitrile Gloves. These gloves guard against contamination by chemical splash and microorganism hazards and deliver seamless protection.

Competitive Landscape

The cleanroom disposable gloves industry comprises various market players such as Premier Inc., Honeywell, Ansell Ltd., Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd., Supermax Corporation Berhad, Top Glove Corporation Berhad, Dynarex Corporation, Cardinal Health, Semperit AG Holding and Adventa Berhad. These market players are adopting various strategies such as collaboration and acquisition across various regions to maintain their dominance in the cleanroom disposable gloves market.

For instance, in July 2021, Premier Inc. announced a collaboration with Honeywell for the expansion of nitrile exam gloves in the US that aimed to enhance their product portfolio. This collaboration enabled the sale of domestically produced gloves to healthcare systems and hospitals to meet the shortage of gloves. Moreover, in January 2021, Ansell Ltd acquired Life Sciences from Primus and further provided an opportunity to accelerate the growth of the Life Sciences business.
