Technological innovation, coupled with shifting consumer preference towards protective equipment which combines fashion with safety is further estimated to drive market expansion. Executive management in industrial firms has been becoming proactive regarding employee health & safety. The stringent regulatory framework in economies such as the U.S. and the UK has been forcing companies to follow strict safety norms to avoid occupational hazards.

Safety gloves dominated the global PPE demand accounting for over 23% of total revenue in 2015. According to OSHA, over 40% of the industrial fatalities and accidents are related to hand injuries. An increasing number of hand cuts, arm injuries, and abrasions in the workplace may be attributed to the high demand of this segment.

Hand protection products such as durable & disposable gloves find application in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, construction, and chemicals, to safeguard the risk of hand injuries in the shop floor. Rising instances of hand injuries including severe abrasions, punctures, chemical & thermal burns, and cuts at the workplace are expected to fuel product demand in near future.
