Sales in the medical gloves in GCC grew at a 1.9% CAGR between 2019 and 2023. The overall industry value increased from US$ 152.1 million in 2019 to US$ 167.1 million in 2023.
A lower growth rate during this period is associated with growing concerns regarding supply restrictions including limited manufacturer capacity, prolonged plant construction times, and a shrinking workforce. However, increasing awareness regarding the health & safety advantages of medical devices among common people is expected to drive sales through 2034.

Favorable government-backed policies across the GCC countries for the expansion of the healthcare sector will continue fueling the growth of the industry over the assessment period. Moreover, patients from the West are traveling to Gulf countries due to ever-rising costs of medical procedures like dental, dermatology, orthopedic, and others in Europe and America.
In terms of raw material, the latex material is used for making more than 80% of the total medical gloves available in the Gulf Cooperation Council region. With improving trade relations of the regional countries the import of latex is expected to increase from South Asian countries resulting in the strengthening of the GCC latex glove industry.
The rise in allergic reactions due to the use of latex material used in gloves is compelling manufacturers to introduce new materials for better safety. As a substitute for natural latex, applications of nitrile gloves have increased and are expected to create new opportunities for growth for industry players in GCC countries.

Recent Developments in the GCC Medical Glove Industry
In January 2021, Medline Industries announced a strategic partnership with the University of California, Davis / UC Davis. Students returning to the campus were provided custom PPE kits to be worn to avoid the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This way awareness and education among the peers were spread to reduce the strain on healthcare professionals.
Kimberly-Clark Corporation introduced the Kimtech Opal Nitrile Gloves in February 2022, with the purpose of guarding against microbiological and chemical splash dangers. These innovative gloves don't include latex or vulcanizing chemicals, which reduces the possibility of skin responses related to Type I and Type IV allergies
