Being a necessity item, especially in the healthcare and food industry, the demand for rubber gloves remained robust in 2012 despite the Euro-zone debt crisis. Other major factors that boosted this demand include growing healthcare awareness, healthcare reforms with more stringent regulations following H1N1 scare and decreasing raw material costs worldwide. The emerging economies offer huge growth potential to the rubber glove manufacturers given the low penetration of gloves in these regions. With the substantial rise in the prices of natural rubber latex over the past 2 years, there has been a shift in the demand towards nitrile gloves. As a result, the majority of gloves manufacturers are either building up new nitrile glove production capacity or switching existing production capacity from natural rubber to nitrile rubber.
Malaysia dominates the global glove market as the largest producer and exporter of rubber gloves. It has the major advantage of raw material availability, infrastructure, R&D, development of supporting industries and support from government agencies over other countries by its side which further solidify its position on the global front. Other leading nations that produce rubber gloves include Thailand and Indonesia.
The four topmost rubber gloves manufacturers include Top Glove, Supermax, Kossan and Hartalega. All these companies have rolled out their production plans to supply better products and to meet the increasing demand globally. Although the industry has maintained its growth momentum, the major bottlenecks are labor shortage, fluctuating NBR prices, imposition of minimum wage by Malaysia, shortage of natural gas and hikes in gas tariffs.
