INDUSTRIAL HAND PROTECTION GLOVES MARKET ANALYSIS

Workers and industries are increasingly opting for low-cost substitutes which do not offer the same level of protection and safety as specialized industrial gloves.

Several countries have very lenient or ineffective labor laws which do not enforce strict usage of protective hand gear in hazardous work environments. This has led to proliferation of basic rubber or cloth gloves which are imported in bulk from other Asian nations at highly competitive prices. While they serve the purpose of covering hands, they do little to prevent lacerations, burns or exposure to harmful chemicals which specialized gloves made of materials like nitrile, PVC, and leather.

Market Opportunities: Development Of Advanced Material-Based Gloves

One such area which can drive strong market opportunities is the development and use of advanced material-based gloves.

Gloves made from advanced materials like kevlar, carbon nanotubes, and newer synthetic fibers offer much improved durability, cut and heat resistance compared to traditional leather and fabric gloves. As industrial applications become more complex involving higher risks, sophisticated robotic technologies and varied environmental hazards, the needs for robust hand protection is increasing. Advanced material gloves can withstand harsh conditions like extreme temperatures, abrasive surfaces, chemical exposures, and impacts much better than conventional gloves. This makes them suitable for a wide range of industries like automotive, manufacturing, construction, energy, and utilities.
