Report Overview

The 2025 U.S. tariff policies introduce profound uncertainty into the global economic landscape.

They refer to gloves manufactured without the addition of talcum powder or other powder-retaining agents. Instead, they achieve easy wear and low dust residue through chlorine washing, polymer coating, or polymer cross-linking. Their surface powder residue is ≤2 mg/glove, meeting medical standards such as GB 10213, EN 455, and ASTM D3578/D6319. They prevent powder irritation and cross-contamination of wounds and the respiratory tract, and are listed as the preferred choice for medical applications by the WHO and regulations in various countries.The raw materials for powderless inspection gloves are mainly natural rubber latex, nitrile rubber latex (NBR), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). While latex offers good elasticity, it carries a risk of protein allergies; nitrile rubber is chemically resistant and non-allergenic; and PVC is low-cost but offers slightly less protection. Auxiliary materials include vulcanizing agents, zinc oxide, accelerators, and antioxidants. Raw materials account for 55%–65% of the ex-factory cost, and this cost fluctuates dramatically with the petroleum-to-natural rubber price ratio. In the past three years, the price of nitrile rubber latex has fluctuated by 55%–60%.
