Hand injuries are among the most common workplace injuries, and they can be prevented by using personal protection equipment (PPE), such as gloves. Increasing awareness about safety at workplaces is creating demand for different PPE types, including gloves. The enforcement of various rules and regulations for ensuring safety at workplaces is propelling the use of safety equipment, including gloves, in different industries. In the food industry, gloves are among the most widely used personal protection items. In food processing plants and other areas where food is handled, safety gloves are essential to avoid direct contact of skin with food products, which might lead to contamination of foodstuffs. In chemical industries, gloves are used for protection against chemicals and other hazardous liquids. Temperature resistance gloves are extensively used in welding, metal processing, forging, and related operations as these gloves provide excellent insulation against high temperatures. Further, workers in the glass cutting, metal stamping, construction, carpentry, and forestry industries, among others, have a high demand for cut-resistant gloves. Gloves manufacturers are also providing task-specific gloves to meet new levels of safety for users from various industries. Hence, a growing focus on ensuring adherence to safety procedures, coupled with the advantages of gloves, is resulting in increased use of gloves in the food, chemicals, construction, and manufacturing industries, eventually boosting the industrial gloves market.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can enlarge their customer base and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe industrial gloves market at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
