World Market Outlook for the Disposable Gloves and Materials Markets 2020-2025: The World Health Organization Estimates Manufacturing Should be Increased by 40% to Meet Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic spreading across countries and regions has caused a huge impact on people’s lives. Starting as a health crisis, it also poses serious threats to the global economy. The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to a surge in demand for disposable gloves worldwide. The pandemic has spurred a rush for protective equipment including gloves, with stores running out of them. With the increased infrequent visits to hospitals and other medical organizations, the healthcare sector is witnessing higher usage of disposable gloves than ever in the past. The coronavirus has slowly spread from China to worldwide, with the U.S. and Europe being the hotspots.
There was a shortage in supply, as the demand surpassed the production for disposable gloves and hospitals were running out of gloves. As the pandemic began, many consumers panic ordered, leading to the deficit. Frontline doctors and nurses had to face shortages to an extent that they had to re-use disposable gloves, risking the lives of patients and themselves.
Surging demand, partially joined with panic buying, hoarding, and misuse of gloves amid the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global supplies. The rise in gloves demand has depleted stockpiles, triggered significant price increases, and led to production backlogs of many months in fulfilling orders.
WHO (The World Health Organization) shipped millions of examination gloves to various countries. However, supplies are depleting rapidly owing to increasing COVID-19 cases. To meet rising global demand, the WHO estimates that the industry must increase manufacturing by 40% and urges governments to act quickly to boost supply. WHO suggests that governments should develop incentives for the industry to ramp up production of gloves.
Malaysia, which is the world’s largest glove manufacturer, reported a surge in orders from all over the world, especially from the U.S. and Europe. Many disposable manufacturers increased their production capacity, and few are in the process of expansions to cater to the increasing demand. From February 2020 to June 2020, manufacturers worked at full capacity but still were not able to meet the need.
Disposable gloves are used in varied applications, including medical, cleanrooms, food and beverage, and industrial and chemical. A cleanroom includes manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, integrated circuits, CRT, LCD, OLED, and micro-LED displays, among others. In these environments, extremely low levels of particulates must be maintained.
My name is Tony Locke and I am aligned with the seller directly. I am not the seller mandate, but I can communicate directly with the seller title holder when necessary. On the IMFPA Tony Locke is listed as a seller intermediary along with his team. The buyer intermediary box is wide open and you as the broker would be in that space all by yourself, plus your team and those brokers between you and the buyer mandate.
Commissions are negotiable.
- Your buyer can approach the factory with a 10% traditional commission for the whole order covering the OTG stock available today and all monthly fulfillment plus any rolls and extensions after the order is fulfilled.
- Your buyer can offer a 75 cent or a 50 cent per box commission split 50/50 between seller and buyer groups. In that model the seller/buyer mandates take care of the seller/buyer intermediaries.
- Your buyer can offer one of the models above and then request a diminished commission for all rolls and extensions.
The chart offers prices based on MOQ or minimum order quantity. If the MOQ is 400 million then over a period of months the order must total 400 million. The MOQ is not the amount of each months order, but the MOQ is the total quantity when the order is at the end of fulfillment.
