While the medical disposable gloves segment is saturated, certain underserved end-users, such as alternate care, dentistry, and long-term care, offer opportunities for growth. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.chemicals.frost.com), Analysis of the North American Disposable Gloves Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $2.81 billion in 2011 and estimates this to reach $3.22 billion in 2016, boosted by increasing safety regulations and end-user awareness regarding hygiene, risk of contamination and infection.
