Industrial glove providers are investing in the development of new products to meet the high demand prevailing in different countries across the MEA. Users prefer gloves with improved features relating to longevity, health, dexterity, grip, and comfort. In line with this, market players are designing and testing gloves for safety, comfort, and endurance. They are offering such gloves that provide maximum protection to hands along with durability in the most physically challenging work conditions. For instance, in 2018, Aurelia Gloves announced the launch of new heavy-duty nitrile gloves made for automotive, emergency medical, and manufacturing applications. Ignite gloves are extra thick to withstand the toughest of workday challenges. They feature enhanced tactile sensitivity and proprietary "Max-Grip" texture technology, so the user maintains maximum finger dexterity without sacrificing protection. Ignite gloves are made from a customized formulation to adapt seamlessly to how users' hands move throughout the workday, making them quite comfortable for daily wear. Further, in November 2021, Owens & Minor, a provider of protective medical supplies and products, launched its new Safeskin Nitrile gloves. Safeskin Nitrile gloves in Pop-N-Go packs offer task-focused and high-quality protection. They offer a choice of three levels of task-related protection: light, medium, or heavy-duty. The gloves are color-coded to aid in selecting suitable gloves for the job. Hence, market players' growing efforts to launch safe, comfortable, and innovative industrial gloves are likely to boost the industrial gloves market in the MEA during the forecast period.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the weather monitoring system market. The MEA industrial gloves market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
