Global Cleanroom Gloves Market: Restraint

Increasing risk of allergic reactions

The major factors that hinder growth of the global cleanroom gloves market include allergic reaction associated with latex gloves. The Latex material used in manufacturing of cleanroom gloves causes allergic reaction. Increasing risk of allergic reaction is compelling manufacturer to introduce new material for better safety. Natural Latex contains proteins which causes serious anaphylactic reactions apart from skins discomfort.
