Market Trends of Global Nonwoven Disposable Gloves Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Nonwoven Disposable Gloves Market according to our research experts:
Wetlaid technology is Expected to Grow Faster and dominate the market over the forecast period
The wet-laid technology is a technology designed to fabricate short fibers dispersed in a liquid, which are subsequently layered. The wet-laid method is specifically suitable for the large-scale production of disposable products, aprons, gloves, napkins, and surgical gauze. Wetlaid technology segment is expected to see the fastest growth rate over the forecast period when compared to other technologies with its properties such as anti-bacterial, liquid repellent, and breathable & soft fabric. Wetlaid technology manufacturing process of wet nonwoven fabric open the fibrous raw material in the aqueous medium into single fibers, in the meantime, it forms a fibrous suspension slurry by mixing different fiber raw materials, then take this suspended slurry into a mesh-forming mechanism, and the fibers are laid in a wet state to form a cloth. On the basis of the products produced by this method offers anti-bacterial, liquid propellent, and breathable & soft fabric properties, thus, it is expected that the Wetlaid technology segment will augment over the forecast period.
North America Dominates the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period
North America is expected to be the dominant region in the overall Nonwoven Disposable Gloves Market. The studied market would continue to grow at a steady rate due to the well-established healthcare sector in the North American region.
