Nitrile medical gloves refer to medical gloves made primarily from nitrile rubber through special processing techniques. Nitrile rubber is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent chemical resistance, high elasticity, and heat resistance, capable of withstanding the erosion of various chemicals while offering superior abrasion resistance and anti-static properties. Nitrile medical gloves provide effective protection and comfort, making them widely used in industries such as healthcare, laboratories, nursing, and beauty. Depending on the application scenario, nitrile medical gloves can be categorized into different types, including sterile nitrile gloves, non-sterile nitrile gloves, penetration-resistant nitrile gloves, conductive nitrile gloves, and reinforced nitrile gloves.

Nitrile medical glove industry advantages

Chemical resistance: Nitrile gloves have good chemical resistance and can withstand the erosion of various chemicals.

High elasticity: Nitrile gloves have excellent elasticity, which can适应各种手型，提供更好的手感和舒适度。 Note: The last part of the sentence was not properly translated in the original request. Here is the full correct translation: High elasticity: Nitrile gloves have excellent elasticity, which can adapt to various hand shapes, providing better feel and comfort.

High Temperature Resistance: Nitrile gloves can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for use in environments that require working in high-temperature conditions.

Dexterity: Nitrile gloves offer good dexterity, allowing for easy movement and precise handling of objects. (Note: There seems to be a mismatch between the instruction and the provided Chinese text. The translated text is based on the provided Chinese text but does not match the initial instruction about '防渗透' which means 'resistance to penetration.' The correct translation for the given Chinese text is provided instead.) For the correct translation focusing on "防渗透": Nitrile gloves exhibit excellent resistance to penetration, effectively preventing liquid ingress.

Anti-static: Nitrile gloves have good anti-static properties, effectively preventing static accumulation.

Disadvantages of the nitrile medical glove industry

Cold resistance: Nitrile gloves have poor cold resistance and are not suitable for use in low-temperature environments.

Wear Resistance: Nitrile gloves have poor wear resistance and are not suitable for applications that require frequent friction.

Allergenicity: Nitrile gloves have low allergenicity, but some people are still allergic to nitrile, so it is important to choose the right gloves for yourself.

Nitrile medical glove industry upstream, midstream, and downstream

The main raw material for nitrile medical gloves is nitrile rubber, a type of synthetic rubber that has good chemical resistance, high elasticity, and high-temperature resistance. Nitrile medical gloves are mainly used in medical, laboratory, nursing, and beauty industries, providing effective protection and comfort, making them very popular among users.

The global nitrile glove market share is relatively concentrated, with major players including泰科 (Top Glove), 3M, Top Glove, among others, where泰科 (Top Glove) has the largest market share, accounting for approximately 30%. With the increase in market demand, many nitrile glove manufacturers have recently increased their capacity expansion efforts. For example, Blue Sail Medical announced at the end of 2020 that it would invest 10 billion RMB in Shandong to build a nitrile glove production base with an annual capacity of 10 billion gloves. To enhance product competitiveness, many nitrile glove manufacturers have also increased research and development investments. For instance, in 2020, Yingke Medical's R&D investment was 185 million RMB, a year-on-year increase of 62.5%.
