Favorable government-backed policies across the GCC countries for the expansion of the healthcare sector will continue fueling the growth of the industry over the assessment period. Moreover, patients from the West are traveling to Gulf countries due to ever-rising costs of medical procedures like dental, dermatology, orthopedic, and others in Europe and America.
In terms of raw material, the latex material is used for making more than 80% of the total medical gloves available in the Gulf Cooperation Council region. With improving trade relations of the regional countries the import of latex is expected to increase from South Asian countries resulting in the strengthening of the GCC latex glove industry.
The rise in allergic reactions due to the use of latex material used in gloves is compelling manufacturers to introduce new materials for better safety. As a substitute for natural latex, applications of nitrile gloves have increased and are expected to create new opportunities for growth for industry players in GCC countries.
