Information profile @ a Glance
- Look for a stronger demand for Nitrile gloves as more and more
healthcare facilities substitute latex gloves for latex-free alternatives
- The medical glove industry experienced an uncommon surge in demand for
exam gloves due to the outbreak of H1N1 flu virus. As countries worldwide
purchased a larger amount of exam gloves to contain the Swine Flu, there
was a shortage of gloves available causing manufacturers to increase
production to meet the demand. Top Glove, the largest exam glove
manufacturer located in Malaysia, reported running their production at 90%
utilization rate in 2010 (versus est. 70% in 2009)
- The overall demand for medical gloves will steadily grow as demand
within developing countries increase at a higher pace. Although latex
gloves still maintains the highest market share of medical exam gloves,
Nitrile gloves will see the most success as hospitals focus on shifting to
a latex-free environment.
- Nitrile glovemakers are less affected by rising rubber prices as
nitrile price has appreciated more gradually, thereby reducing the time
lag between cost increases and pass-through. This is because unlike
rubber, nitrile is not a traded
commodity and is less affected by speculation.
- Although nitrile is a petroleum derivative, its price is not
directly correlated to crude oil because its raw materials are
by-products of the oil refinery cracking process
