As we’ve said about the disposable glove market in our Q1 2025 report over the last month, we can report on the most prominent trends—but the timing of what will happen in 2025 remains uncertain.

AMMEX has been in business for more than 35 years. During that time, except for a few divergences, we have been intensely focused on disposable gloves. We think about them all the time—and not many companies can say that.
As 2024 winds down, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to establish consistent and predictable supply—especially at volume—while keeping costs in check. Along with reliable supply, the benchmarks of quality, compliance, and sustainability continue to become more important in the disposable glove market.
The dangers of fentanyl have been widely reported. The drug, developed in 1959 as an intravenous analgesic and anesthetic, is one of the most abused synthetic opioids in North America and a primary driver of overdose deaths among young people.
The disposable glove market continues to have several unique cost drivers impacting the industry. Factories have reduced the number of production lines from pandemic highs, increasing utilization rates and reducing excess supply. Raw materials, from chemicals to synthetic rubber, are rising in cost. Other drivers, such as labor supply in Southeast Asia, packaging material increases, logistics, and a weakening U.S. dollar, are also playing a role.
Sustainability is getting plenty of attention these days, and rightfully so. It’s not some marketing-driven buzzword foisted upon the public in the last few years; its roots go back to ancient times. Environmental problems like deforestation, soil loss, and salinization were topics of discussion for Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Greeks, and Romans.
