Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are among the most frequent and adverse events in the global healthcare sector. They affect millions of patients every year, resulting in elevated rates of morbidity and mortality as well as a significant financial loss for healthcare systems. According to a survey published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases in September 2019, 1 out of 10 individuals surveyed had at least 1 healthcare-associated infection in Latin America. Hence, the longer the patients stay in ICUs, the more are they likely to get an infection. The average rate of infection among high-risk adult patients is 17.0 episodes per 10,00 patient days.

The use of invasive devices, such as central lines, urinary catheters, and ventilators, is linked to the high frequency of infection. Gloves are personal protective gears that create a barrier between germs and the human body, and prevent the spread of disease-causing germs in hospitals. Gloves help in keeping the hands clean and reduce the chance of germ spread that can make patients or healthcare professionals sick. As a part of good clinical practices (GCP), healthcare professionals must wear gloves while touching blood, bodily fluids, bodily tissues, mucous membranes, or broken skin, even if a patient seems healthy and has no signs of infection. Therefore, gloves play a pivotal role in avoiding infections among patients as well as healthcare staff, which is a prime reason that drives their demand in the healthcare sector.

Market Insights

Managing health conditions such as obstructed labor, malignancy, injuries, infections, and cardiovascular disease requires surgical care. Moreover, hernia repair, hip and knee replacement, and gall bladder removal are among the most common ailments that require surgical procedures for treatment. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reported the higher number of hip and knee replacements surgeries in Chile an in 2019, i.e., ~154.3 per 100,000 surgeries. The continuously growing geriatric population is another major factor leading to a high number of surgical procedures. Disposable gloves are used in surgeries to avoid the direct contact of blood and other body fluids with medical staff as well as other patients, thus reducing the risk of germ spreading to the atmosphere. Thus, an increasing number of surgical procedures is propelling the disposable gloves market in South and Central America.
