The synthetic segment held a 65.1% share in 2024, supported by demand for latex-free gloves that minimize allergy risks while offering chemical resistance and durability. Synthetic options such as neoprene, nitrile, and polyisoprene are increasingly chosen for complex, long-duration surgeries due to their superior puncture protection and durability.
The nitrile gloves segment generated USD 428.2 million in 2024, establishing dominance with its strength in chemical resistance, hypoallergenic properties, and effectiveness against bloodborne pathogens and cytotoxic agents. Nitrile gloves are widely preferred over latex because of occupational health concerns, with growing use in high-risk surgical fields, including orthopedic and oncology procedures.
U.S. Surgical Gloves Market was valued at USD 252.7 million in 2024, driven by advanced medical infrastructure, rising surgical demand, and a growing shift toward nitrile and sustainable glove options. The presence of established manufacturers actively investing in product development and innovation continues to strengthen the domestic market outlook.
