MENA Disposable Gloves Market Growth & Trends

The Middle East and North Africa disposable gloves market size is anticipated to reach USD 868.9 million by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to register 14.3% CAGR during the forecast period. The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in demand for disposable gloves in the medical and healthcare sectors in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Disposable gloves have observed a significant demand in the healthcare sector owing to the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases and viral outbreaks. The growing awareness about safety and health measures associated with the patient treatments and emergency response incidents is anticipated to propel the demand for disposable medical gloves in the healthcare sector.

According to the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), UAE would require an additional 8,000 hospital beds by 2025, thereby opening avenues for private investments. Furthermore, patients from several countries travel to the UAE for medical treatment due to the low cost. This is expected to boost the demand for medical gloves over the forecast period.

The presence of glove manufacturing companies in the MENA region is low owing to limited raw material availability. Instability in the glove manufacturing countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, such as natural disasters and a ban on exports as a containment measure to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to pose a challenge to the market growth.
