A glove is a garment covering the whole hand. Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for each finger and the thumb; if there is an opening but no (or a short) covering sheath for each finger they are called fingerless gloves. Fingerless gloves having one large opening rather than individual openings for each finger are sometimes called gauntlets, though gauntlets are not necessarily fingerless. Gloves which cover the entire hand or fist but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens. Mittens are warmer than other styles of gloves made of the same material because fingers maintain their warmth better when they are in contact with each other. Reduced surface area reduces heat loss.
One of the major factors driving this market’s growth is the sharp increase in natural rubber production in countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Although the world rubber production is expected to be weak during 2016-2017, the consumption in the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) will increase by a significant margin. In order to overcome the factors leading to a decline in rubber production, the rubber board of India has taken several initiatives, which has led to an increase in production of rubber, which will positively affect the gloves market over the coming years.

The global Gloves market was valued at US$ million in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ million by the end of 2027, growing at a CAGR of % during 2021-2027.
