ELECTRIC GLOVES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global electric gloves market size is predicted to reach USD 3.03 billion by 2034 from USD 1.45 billion in 2025, registering a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2034.

When working near or on live wires, cables, and electrical equipment such as substation switchgear and transformers, electric gloves, also known as insulating gloves, provide workers with personal hand protection against electrical shocks. A risk assessment identifies electrical shock during the jointing of cables or excavating around live cables as a potential cause of accident that can be avoided when appropriate safety precautions and gloves are worn.

The market's growth can be attributed to the rapid industrialization, rising industry demand, and consumer awareness of electric shock safety and protection. Another factor that is anticipated to drive demand for electric gloves during the forecast period is the fact that electric gloves offer significant burn protection in situations such as arc flash, among others. Expanding labor force and rising interest in assembling, development, gadgets, and telecom enterprises attributable to fast industrialization are a few key elements expected to drive market development.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Hampered the Demand for Electric Gloves 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic's imposition of a lockdown, a number of businesses and utilities were temporarily prevented from producing, processing, and importing and exporting goods, which decreased demand from these customers. Numerous nations have imposed travel restrictions in an effort to slow the coronavirus's spread, which has had a significant impact on the industry. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, glove manufacturing and production units are expected to shut down, as are fluctuations in the supply of electrical gloves. Sales of electric gloves were also down as a result of transportation restrictions, the closing of department and specialty stores, and a lack of products. As most of individuals' overall financial status has been seriously influenced by this episode, buyer request has diminished because of individuals' expanded craving to remove superfluous costs from their spending plans. However, the market is anticipated to recover as the respective governing authorities begin to lift these imposed lockdowns.

LATEST TRENDS

Protection Against Health Hazards to Promote Market Growth

Key market players are increasing their investments in R&D as a result of growing awareness of safety and protection when working with electrical components.
