Light At The Tunnel For The Gloves Industry?

Light At The Tunnel For The Gloves Industry?

The glove industry rose like a phoenix in 2020 where it was the strongest beneficiary of the Covid-19 pandemic. The sharp expansion in average selling prices led to many small players jumping on the bandwagon, and even saw the rise of China as a glove manufacturer. Now, however, the industry has since fallen hard and is now reeling from overcapacity issues, deteriorating average selling prices and rising gas prices. What does the future hold for glove makers and when will the supply demand dynamics achieve equilibrium? For more insight, we speak to Dr Supramaniam Shanmugam, President, MARGMA.
