“Yeah. I don’t know which segments to target.”
3 Keys for Selling More Gloves: Top Market Segments for Growing Your Sales
Disposable Glove Market Less Likely to Feel Impact of Recession
Second of two parts
Most economists are in agreement on one word to describe what 2023 holds for the U.S. economy: uncertainty. The divergence of views on what will happen is as large as it has been in many years.
A steady drumbeat of “recession is coming” rattled around the public consciousness for the last half of 2022. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates seven times last year in an effort to throttle inflation. Underperforming stock markets have not helped matters.
What Would a Recession Mean for the Disposable Glove Market?
Is there a recession ahead? Some doomsayers believe there is.
Economist Nouriel Roubini, who correctly predicted the 2008 financial crisis, sees a “long and ugly” recession occurring in the U.S. and globally at the end of 2022 that could last all of 2023. (He also has a new book to sell, so keep that in mind.)
Industrial Disposable Glove Market Is Poised to Continue Decades-Long Growth
The industrial disposable glove market has seen consistent double-digit growth over the last 40 years. Glove use for applications from plumbing to electrical to mechanical has increased annually.
There was a time that few if any workers in industrial settings wore disposable gloves. Many workers of a certain vintage still don’t, with a common complaint being that gloves restrict their range of motion and just don’t “feel right.”
Latex Gloves Still Have a Strong Following Despite Challenges
It may have the distinction of being the original disposable glove material, but natural rubber latex often gets a bad rap.
The primary concern is about latex allergies. About 4% of the world’s population has some form of latex allergy. It is more problematic for health care workers, especially dentists and surgeons, because of repeat exposure to exam-grade latex gloves.
