The rising burden of healthcare-associated infection and increasing usage of nitrile gloves for industrial use are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.
Healthcare-associated infections are the most frequent and adverse event in health-care delivery worldwide. Millions of patients get affected by healthcare-associated infections every year, which can increase the mortality rate and financial losses for healthcare systems. According to estimates by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, ~4544,100 episodes of healthcare-associated infection affect 4131,000 patients per year in Europe.
A recent European multicenter study reports that 51% of the infected patients are admitted to intensive care unit, in which ~30% of patients in ICUs are affected by at least one episode of healthcare-associated infection. The longer patients live in ICU, the more likely they become to get an infection. The median rate of infection in high-risk adult patients, on average, is 17.0 episodes per 1000 patient days. The use of invasive devices, such as central lines, urinary catheters, and ventilators is linked to the high frequency of infection.
Hospital-associated infections are one of the major causes of morbidity among patients. According to the study, ‘Nosocomial Pneumonia’, about 90% of hospital-acquired pneumonia is caused to the patients who are mechanically ventilated.
Gloves are personal protective wear that creates a barrier between germs and human body and prevents the spread of disease-causing germs in the hospitals. Gloves help keep hands clean and reduce the chance of germ spread that can make patients or healthcare professionals sick. Healthcare professionals should 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 an important role in avoiding infections among patients as well as health care workers, which is expected to drive the demand for surgical gloves in healthcare sector.
