Overview of Disposable Surgical Gloves Market Report Findings

Rising Number of Surgical Procedures: According to the National Institute of Health 2025 report, 313 million surgical procedures were performed globally in 2025, and 6% of these procedures were performed in low- and middle-income countries. As the number of surgeries increases, the need for strict hygiene protocols has grown, leading to a higher demand for disposable surgical gloves. These gloves are essential in preventing cross-contamination and healthcare-associated infections. With surgical procedures becoming more complex and a greater emphasis on patient safety within the healthcare industry, hospitals and surgical centers are now following stricter regulations that require the use of disposable gloves. This practice is crucial in preventing the transmission of pathogens between patients and healthcare providers. Thus, the surging number of surgical procedures is driving the disposable surgical gloves market.
Increasing Chronic Infectious Diseases: As infectious disease outbreaks and global health threats persist into 2025, including both ongoing and emerging viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases, there is an increasing demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) among healthcare workers and caregivers. Disposable surgical gloves serve as a crucial barrier against cross-contamination and the transmission of pathogens between patients and healthcare personnel.
Geographical Insights: In 2023, North America led the market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and APAC. Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Conclusion

The growing prevalence of infectious diseases and the rising number of surgical procedures drive the disposable surgical gloves market growth. The ongoing prevalence of infectious diseases like malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, and drug-resistant bacterial infections calls for rigorous infection control practices in both treatment facilities and community health programs. Healthcare systems that are continually challenged by these infectious diseases highlight the importance of strict hygiene and protective measures to manage risks during patient care, especially when dealing with highly contagious or drug-resistant pathogens. Thus, rising simulation-based training programs for healthcare professionals drive the disposable surgical gloves market.

Furthermore, the single-use nature of disposable surgical gloves significantly lowers the chance of transferring pathogens. During a surgery utilization of multiple layers of protective gloves has led to a marked increase in glove consumption across healthcare institutions such as hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers, influencing procurement strategies and inventory management within hospital operations.
