概要

使い捨て手袋の世界市場規模は2024年に181億米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARC Groupは、市場は2033年までに423億米ドルに達し、2025年から2033年にかけて9.37%の成長率（CAGR）を示すと予測しています。ヘルスケア分野からの需要の増加、コロナウイルス感染症（COVID-19）の大流行による厳しい安全規制、衛生・清潔意識の高まり、eコマースプラットフォームの拡大などが市場を後押しする主な要因となっています。

使い捨て手袋は、二次汚染を防ぎ衛生基準を維持するために手に着用する単回使用の防護衣です。一般的にラテックス、ニトリル、ビニール、ポリエチレン製で、有害物質、化学物質、病原体に対するバリアとして機能し、着用者と環境を保護します。使い捨てであるため、ある作業から別の作業へ、あるいはある人から別の人への感染のリスクを防ぎ、細菌の拡散を防ぐために無菌環境を維持するのに役立ちます。さらに、安全プロトコルの不可欠な一部であり、多様な専門的環境において安心と保護を提供します。現在、使い捨て手袋は、ヘルスケア、食品取り扱い、クリーニング、製造など、様々な業界で広く採用されています。

市場を牽引しているのは、主に感染症に関する意識の高まりと、衛生基準を維持することの重要性です。また、ヘルスケア、食品加工、ホスピタリティなど様々な分野での使い捨て手袋に対する需要の高まりが、市場の成長に影響を与えています。さらに、病院、診療所、ヘルスケア施設の増加により、ヘルスケア分野の医療従事者や患者を保護するための使い捨て手袋の需要が加速していることも、大きな成長促進要因となっています。このほか、コロナウイルス感染症（COVID-19）のパンデミックが最近発生したことで、感染の拡大を防ぐための使い捨て手袋の市場成長が加速し、業界全体や一般市民の間で需要が急増しました。これに伴い、いくつかの政府は様々な産業で保護具の使用に関する厳しいガイドラインを実施しており、使い捨て手袋の需要をさらに促進しています。さらに、手袋の素材や製造工程におけるいくつかの技術的改良により、手袋はより快適で、耐久性があり、費用対効果が高くなり、世界中のさまざまな用途で採用が拡大しています。

使い捨て手袋市場の動向と促進要因：

ヘルスケアセクターからの製品需要の増加

ヘルスケア施設における感染制御と予防への注目の高まりは、感染、病原体、汚染物質の伝播に対するバリアとして機能し、医療従事者と患者間の二次汚染のリスクを最小限に抑える使い捨て手袋の需要をエスカレートさせており、市場成長に影響を与えています。さらに、COVID-19パンデミックの最近の発生は、ヘルスケア環境における製品需要をさらに加速させ、もう一つの大きな成長誘発要因となっています。これとともに、医師、看護師、介護士を含むヘルスケア専門家は、ウイルスやその他の感染性物質への潜在的な暴露から自分自身と患者を守るためにこれらの手袋を使用しており、市場の成長を増大させています。これに加えて、ヘルスケア業界における厳しい規制や安全基準は、医療処置、手術、検査、患者ケアの際に使い捨て手袋を含む個人用保護具（PPE）の使用を義務付けており、市場の成長を促進しています。

新たな技術的進歩

使い捨て手袋に対する需要の高まりと、これらの必要不可欠な保護製品の機能性、安全性、快適性の向上が、市場の成長に影響を与えています。また、メーカーは研究開発（R&D）に投資して革新的な素材や製造技術を導入し、使い捨て手袋業界を変革しているため、市場の成長を後押ししています。さらに、ニトリル手袋の開発は、従来のラテックス手袋に比べて優れた耐薬品性、耐突き刺し性、触覚感度を提供し、もう一つの主要な成長誘発要因となっています。これに加えて、ニトリル手袋はラテックスフリーであるため、患者や医療従事者のアレルギー反応のリスクを低減し、ヘルスケア現場で絶大な支持を得ており、市場成長を加速させています。これとともに、パウダーフリー手袋の導入や、パウダー入り手袋は着用を助けるために採用されているが、パウダーは個人によっては呼吸器系の問題を引き起こす可能性があり、市場成長を促進しています。これとは別に、手袋表面の細菌や病原体の増殖を抑制する特殊コーティングを組み込んだ抗菌性使い捨て手袋が誕生し、前向きな市場展望を提供しています。さらに、モノのインターネット（IoT）の登場や、手の動き、温度、その他の重要なデータを監視するセンサーを組み込んだスマート手袋の継続的な開発が、市場の成長に寄与しています。

拡大するeコマース分野

同市場は主に、世界中でオンライン・ショッピングが便利で簡単になったことが牽引しています。さらに、使い捨て手袋を購入するためのeコマース・プラットフォームの広範な採用が市場成長に影響を与えています。顧客は、自宅やモバイル機器に居ながらにして、複数のグローブ・オプションを閲覧し、価格を比較し、レビューを読むことができ、これが市場成長を増大させています。さらに、COVID-19パンデミックは、消費者が物理的な接触を最小限に抑え、公共スペースへの露出を減らすにつれて、オンラインショッピングへのシフトを加速させ、もう一つの主要な成長誘発要因となっています。これとともに、パンデミック時の使い捨て手袋に対する需要の高まりがeコマース市場をさらに後押しし、顧客が手袋に迅速かつ効率的にアクセスすることを可能にしています。また、eコマースプラットフォームの普及により、世界中の顧客が使い捨て手袋にアクセスしやすくなったため、メーカーやサプライヤーは新しい市場を開発し、地元以外の顧客層を拡大することができ、市場の成長にプラスに働いています。さらに、eコマース・プラットフォームが提供する大量注文の容易さとシームレスなサプライチェーン管理は、市場の前向きな見通しを生み出しています。
