Competitive Landscape for the GCC Medical Glove Industry Participants:

The medical glove industry in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is moderately competitive. However, with the advancements in material science and manufacturing techniques, a rise in local medical glove manufacturers can be witnessed these days. Meanwhile, the established players are adopting new product designs to stay competitive in the present time. For instance, the curved finger shape and contoured palm of Ansell’s Solvex® nitrile gloves provide a stable wet grip.

The GCC nations’ governments have imposed stringent regulations and have increased investment in healthcare equipment industries to foster a safety-conscious culture. The inclusion of overseas companies is also encouraged by different national governments to assist the growth of the health industry,” – says a lead analyst at FMI
