Rising concerns regarding employee safety will drive the market for industrial gloves during the given forecast period. Work gloves (industrial gloves) are personal protective equipment worn during work projects and are meant to save the user's hands and fingers from unnecessary wounds such as cuts, blisters, splinters, skin punctures or heat and chemical burns. Industrial gloves protect the skin from harmful environment and help to avoid cross-contamination during the manufacturing process across various industries. Increasing investment in various industries like automotive, construction, food and healthcare widen up the market for industrial gloves.
Work Gloves can be made of cloth, leather, wool, latex, rubber, nitrile rubber, vinyl, neoprene, etc. and are used by many working professionals such as aircrew, barbed wire handlers, butchers, divers, machine operators, woodcutters, police officers, doctors, firemen, food, chemical handlers, gardeners, farmers, military personnel, sportsman etc. Due to the different hazards and conditions encountered by different professionals, there are many different kinds of work gloves. The nature of the task will determine what kind of glove a professional requires.
