Analysts’ Viewpoint on Market Scenario
Growth in awareness about workplace safety and hygiene, led by the introduction of favorable governmental initiatives to protect industrial workers, is expected to drive the North America retail work gloves market size during the forecast period. Rapid industrialization has also encouraged the usage of safety equipment in workplaces. Wide acceptance of work gloves in the chemical industry for welding, metalworking, forging, and related operations is likely to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion. Additionally, rise in usage of disposable gloves that prevent the transmission of infections is boosting market progress.
Rapid advancement in the manufacturing process of industrial safety gloves, such as construction work gloves and heavy duty work gloves, to enhance their puncture resistance is augmenting market dynamics. Key players are striving to develop new designs to meet customer needs and increase their North America retail work gloves market share.
Modern day industrial environment is highly developed; however, it still presents a high risk of occupational accidents. Work gloves belong to a broad category of personal protective equipment (PPE) that cover a diverse range of product types, materials, and functions. Gloves protect workers from heat, corrosive liquids, and sharp objects in manufacturing plants, assembly plants, chemical plants, and healthcare facilities.
Retail work gloves are cut resistant, durable, and offer a firm grip. These gloves ensure hand protection to increase user safety, and product preservation or general cleanliness and hygiene. Safety gloves are made of plastic, rubber, or synthetic material. They are usually worn while cleaning or working with oils, solvents, or chemicals. They are also employed during the welding process to protect against cuts and abrasion.
According to the retail work gloves market analysis, demand for latex gloves is gaining traction in North America, as these gloves offer protection from dirt, dust, infection, and contamination. On the other hand, demand for medical gloves and disposable gloves is high in the healthcare industry, as these gloves offer protection against viral outbreaks and infectious diseases.
Hand injuries continue to be one of the most commonly reported occupational injuries. These injuries can be prevented if correct gloves are used. Guidelines, rules, and regulations for glove usage have only recently become available for safety professionals through the efforts of various standard setting organizations.
Manufacturing companies in the U.S. and Canada need to adhere to strict regulatory standards to prevent workplace hazards. Leading companies in these countries are focusing on implementing innovative retail work gloves market strategies in order to come up with advanced products that help prevent workplace accidents.
Workers in manufacturing industries are increasingly becoming aware about workplace safety measures. Therefore, adoption of work gloves is rising among this group of people. This is augmenting market growth.
The healthcare industry is a notable user of disposable gloves due to the prevalence of viral outbreaks and infectious diseases. High demand for disposable gloves in the healthcare sector is expected to boost the North America disposable medical gloves market revenue in the near future.
Health and safety precautions associated with patient treatment and emergencies play an important role in driving the demand for disposable gloves in the healthcare industry. Most of the gloves, including surgical gloves, medical gloves, and examination gloves, are regulated by the FDA.
Surgical gloves are subject to the strict medical standards of the Medical Devices Directive (MDD). The National Safety Council (NSC) and the U.S. Department of Labor have encouraged the use of protective measures in high health risk segments to prevent accidental health damage.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), about one-quarter of workplace injuries involve fingers and hands. As per OSHA, approximately 70% of workers who suffer hand injuries do not wear protective gloves during work hours. It reported that wearing the correct protective gloves is one of the most effective hand protection safety programs that reduces the risk of hand injuries by 27%. Thus, rise in usage of safety gloves in the healthcare sector is likely to boost the retail work gloves market in the upcoming years.
Over the years, companies have been investing significantly in occupational safety equipment and awareness programs to protect people working in hazardous environments. This is driving the demand for retail work gloves in key geographic markets.
Various workplaces in the U.S. emphasize the importance of retail gloves in tasks such as landscaping, gardening, and food processing. Furthermore, work gloves are crucial for hand protection and disinfection in the service sector. For instance, they are used significantly in salons and grocery retail stores.
Work protective gloves provide comfort and protection from heat, injury, cold environment, and contamination, while performing tasks such as handling chemicals, gardening, cleaning, and cutting vegetables. Waterproof gloves made of soft and flexible materials are widely preferred by the people for moderate to heavy gardening tasks such as digging, watering, and pruning.
The food industry involves a wide range of risks that must be properly assessed and considered to ensure worker safety. These include high temperatures for bakery products to low temperatures for frozen and chilled products. Protective gloves used in production and processing of food must be manufactured in such a way that released substances do not pose any risk to human health.
The work glove industry continues to advance in terms of technology and materials used to make cut- and impact-resistant gloves and sleeves. Adoption of new technologies is leading to the development of more comfortable, flexible, and lighter work gloves. This is creating lucrative business opportunities for retail work gloves.
The U.S. is anticipated to account for major share of the market during the forecast period. ANSI/ISEA 105 (American National Standard for Hand Protection) rates protective gloves according to a uniform numerical structure for thermal, mechanical, chemical, and other types of gloves. These regulations are mandatory in key industries to avoid occupational accidents. This is driving the safety gloves market in the region.
Rise in occurrence of pandemics such as Coronavirus, Ebola, and swine flu has prompted the usage of disposable protective work gloves in North America.
