The global industrial safety glove market was valued at USD 12 billion in 2016 and is predictable to surpass USD 15 billion by 2021, says Technavio.
Technavio has announced its latest market research report on the global industrial safety glove market, under its new research areas portfolio. This market analysis discourses the major drivers and key emerging trends and offers an analysis of key vendors like Honeywell, Ansell, and Top Glove.
According to Sarah Haque, a lead analyst for new research areas research at Technavio, “The rising focus on occupational safety measures is driving the growth in the industrial safety glove market. The various industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and construction are ensuring the safety of the workers from any occupational operation hazards by using safety gloves. Moreover, the implementation of various laws that support the safety of the workforce will increase the adoption of these products in the global market.”
These gloves are designed to protect the workers from serious hazards such as cuts, abrasions, heat, and impact while working in factories or production sites. The use of disposable gloves is being mandated to ensure the environment around the workforce is aseptic and hygienic. The establishment of OSHA helped in the introduction of standards for the workforce in various industries for workers’ safety.

Antimicrobial technology (AMT)
The introduction of antimicrobial technology will revolutionize the industrial safety glove market during the forecast period. The new technology uses PVC films in the manufacturing of gloves, which significantly resists the fungal and bacterial growth on the gloves. ATM is a highly cost effective and successful solution in killing and preventing future growth of bacteria and harmful fungi in these gloves. Moreover, the vendors are introducing a powder-free surgical glove that uses AMT, which helps to address the problem of surgical site infection (SSI) and reduces the risk of microbial transmission.
Use of green and recyclable material
The growing emphasize on green manufacturing processes, technologies, and sustainability is encouraging vendors to use green and recyclable materials to produce industrial safety gloves. The manufacturers are using post-consumer recycled (PCR) material that includes recycled soda and water bottles for the manufacturing of these gloves. Some of the other material used in the disposable gloves include fibers such as biopolymers based on starch, cellulose, and polylactic acid (PLA).
