Rubber Gloves Market Size To Reach $21.67 Billion By 2030

Rubber Gloves Market Growth & Trends

The global rubber gloves market size is expected to reach USD 21.67 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc, expanding at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2025 to 2030. Rising government spending on healthcare in countries, such as Germany, Italy, India, Australia, and the U.K., is likely to boost industry expansion over the forecasted period. The global COVID-19 pandemic augmented the need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as gowns, gloves, face shields, and masks. Governments from across the world are coordinating with rubber glove makers to ensure enough supply in the market and avoid future virus spread.

Rising product usage in industries, such as automotive, oil & gas, construction, clean room, metal & equipment, and chemicals, is driving the industry growth. This is due to the presence of strong rules governing worker safety in numerous nations, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as well as the high expenses associated with workplace dangers. The product demand is predicted to increase as more food & beverage sector operators, such as bakeries, packaged goods, and restaurants, focus on making their products free of direct touch. This can be related to increased consumer awareness about food hygiene and the prevention of illnesses caused by food deterioration and misuse.

Increasing awareness among industry participants regarding the importance of worker safety and security at workplaces, on account of the stringent regulations and high costs associated with workplace hazards, is anticipated to drive industry growth. The importance of worker safety has significantly increased owing to the growing employment in industries across the Asia Pacific and the Middle East regions. Manufacturers in the market are seeking collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to expand their product lines and increase production capacity. They are also focusing on increasing their manufacturing facilities to accommodate rising demand from critical end-use industries, such as oil & gas, healthcare, and pharmaceutical.
