The protective gloves market in Hong Kong is driven by the rising awareness of hygiene and safety standards, especially in healthcare, food processing, and manufacturing sectors. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly boosted demand for disposable gloves, and this trend continues as industries prioritize worker protection. Furthermore, advancements in glove materials, such as cut-resistant and chemical-resistant gloves, are driving market demand across various sectors.
The protective gloves market in Hong Kong faces several challenges, particularly the rising cost of raw materials such as latex, nitrile, and neoprene. Global supply chain disruptions and labor shortages in key exporting countries have further exacerbated pricing volatility.
