Global Rubber Gloves Market Report -----------------------------------------------------2013
View Report Details Executive Summary
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. The report provides an analysis of the global rubber gloves market. It also discusses major trends, growth drivers and potential markets. It also presents the competitive structure of the industry and profiles major players with a discussion of their key business strategies. By combining SPSS Inc.’s data integration and analysis capabilities with our relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the industry. We employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry and created regression models with SPSS Base to determine the future direction of the industry. Before deploying the regression model, the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and the dependent variable was analyzed using standard SPSS output, including charts, tables and tests.
Various types of rubber gloves are used in multiple fields. The major categories are latex or natural rubber (NR) and nitrile or synthetic rubber (SR). .. .. Regional Production and Consumption of Natural Rubber by Volume (2012)
