GIA suggests the increasing evidence of the effectiveness of gloves in infection control, the growing focus on improving clinical quality to reduce hospital stays and the rising rate of healthcare-associated infections are all contributing to this surge in disposable glove demand.

Synthetic gloves and nitrite gloves are gaining popularity in the market, as allergies linked to natural rubber latex gloves are shifting the market preference, according to the news release.
