The rising burden of healthcare-associated infection is the major factor driving the growth of the North America disposable gloves market. Healthcare-associated infections are the most frequent and adverse occurrence during delivering healthcare services. Millions of patients get affected by such infections every year, which results in high mortality rate and financial losses for healthcare systems. These infections are one of the major causes of morbidity among patients. According to the study, ‘Nosocomial Pneumonia’, ~90% of hospital-acquired pneumonia is caused to patients who are mechanically ventilated.

Gloves are personal protective wear that creates a barrier between germs and the human body, and it prevents the spread of disease-causing germs in hospitals. Gloves help keep hands clean and reduce the chance of spreading germs that can make patients or healthcare professionals unhealthy. Healthcare professionals should wear gloves while touching blood, bodily fluids, bodily tissues, mucous membranes, or broken skin, even if a patient seems healthy and has no signs of infection. Therefore, gloves plays a major role in avoiding infections among patients and healthcare workers, which is expected to boost the demand for surgical gloves in the healthcare sector.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the North America disposable gloves market at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
