Nitrile gloves industry share intensifies with increasing PPE demand

Intensifying focus on worker safety across medical, chemical, automotive, and oil & gas sectors is a major reason for the burgeoning nitrile gloves industry, with robust need for critical PPE solutions. Hands are the second-most susceptible to injuries in the workplace, closely following back injuries. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 1 million workers experience severe hand injuries each year, from lacerations, cuts, and punctures, which are the three most common types of hand-related injuries that can impact a worker’s ability to function.
