The top three emerging trends driving the global foodservice gloves market according to Technavio research analysts are:

  • Focus on providing anti-microbial technology
  • Advancement in manufacturing technologies
  • Use of recyclable material

Focus on providing anti-microbial technology

The increased focus on food safety has influenced foodservice gloves vendors to introduce new improved features, which can address the requirements of the foodservice establishments around the world.

“Some of the market players have come up with anti-microbial gloves, which can significantly reduce the transfer of microbes from the gloves to food items. This helps to increase the shelf life of the food,” says Manu.

For instance, Omni International has introduced their new Anti-Microbial Solutions (AMS) technology for foodservice gloves, which significantly resists the fungal and bacterial growth on the gloves. This technology will minimize the risk of transfer of microbes from the gloves to the food items. Similarly, Emerald Latex Gloves Company also provides foodservice vinyl gloves, which are built with anti-microbial properties. These gloves prevent the cross contamination and resist the growth of the bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli.

Advancement in manufacturing technologies

The foodservice glove vendors are improvising their manufacturing technologies to improve the quality of foodservice gloves. The vendors are primarily focusing on providing, better material composition, increased durability, and enhanced tactile sensitivity to improve the overall efficiency of the users in the foodservice industry.

Many market players are also focusing on providing polymer coating on the inside surface of the gloves so that the users can slip in and slip out the gloves with ease. Some of the vendors are using hydrogels, silicones, and polyurethane coatings on the inner surface of the gloves as these materials have lesser surface friction than the glove material.

Use of recyclable material

Many manufacturers across the globe are increasing their focus on the use of eco-friendly raw materials for manufacturing foodservice gloves to minimize the carbon footprint. Some of the vendors are looking to provide foodservice protection solutions that are recyclable in nature. For instance, vegware, is providing foodservice disposable gloves which are made up of plant-based PLA (polylactic acid). These gloves can be easily recycled as they are made up of plant fiber. The nitrile gloves also can be recycled, and many foodservice gloves vendors such as AMMEX and FoodHandler are providing the nitrile gloves for the foodservice industry.
