Stringent government regulations governing quality control procedures related to production process is one major challenge faced by players operating in this sector. Moreover, environmental concerns associated with disposal of used disposable gloves post use also add up cost burden on manufacturers thereby restraining their profit margins which can act as a major deterrent for new entrants into this segment over coming years.
