Chemical Protective Gloves Market size is projected to expand at over 8.4% CAGR from 2023-2032 propelled by the expansion of the chemical & petrochemical industries globally. The increasing reliance on chemical and petrochemical sectors for various applications is surging the demand for protective gear, particularly chemical-resistant gloves. With workers facing exposure to a wide range of hazardous substances in these industries, there is rising necessity for specialized gloves to ensure safety.
Furthermore, the strong focus on sustainable and reused materials is leading to advancements in material technology. For instance, in May 2023, Unigloves introduced a new sustainable glove range made from recycled plastics as part of its effort to become a global leader in eco-conscious hand protection products. Additionally, with consumers increasingly prioritizing sustainable practices, the adoption of chemical protective gloves made from recycled and eco-friendly materials is rising, thereby accelerating the industry expansion.
The overall industry is segmented into material, type, glove size, price range, end-use, distribution channel, and region.
Based on material, the PVC chemical protective gloves industry is anticipated to expand at 7.3% CAGR from 2023-2032. This is owing to their widespread preference in industries requiring protection against hazardous substances to render excellent chemical resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the growing focus on worker safety and regulatory compliance is contributing to their rising acceptance across the manufacturing, healthcare, and chemical processing sector, particularly due to their versatility and ability to withstand different chemicals.
In terms of end-use, the chemical protective gloves market from the chemical processing segment is estimated to witness 8.8% growth rate through 2032. The ongoing expansion of the chemical industries globally is surging the need for robust hand protection against hazardous substances. The increasing implementation of stringent safety regulations is further propelling the adoption of advanced and specialized chemical protective gloves resistant to acids, solvents, and other chemicals used in the chemical processing sector.
Regionally, the Asia Pacific chemical protective gloves industry is set to exhibit 8.2% CAGR between 2023 and 2032. Increasing awareness of occupational health and safety standards is fueling the adoption of advanced materials to produce chemical-resistant gloves. For instance, in June 2023, Hayleys Aventura and OCSiAl partnered to establish a local production line for TUBALL LATEX graphene nanotube dispersion to help revolutionize the ESD glove sector and address the growing demand in Europe and South Asia. Moreover, the flourishing chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries in China and India will accelerate the regional market expansion.
