Find alternatives for your glove needs.

Find alternatives for your glove needs.

Posted by GDDist LLC on 23rd Jan 2021

Do you have difficulties finding nitrile and latex gloves or seeing the costs spike? These challenges will continue for the foreseeable future.

Due to the increasing rates of COVID-19 in North America, we expect the demand for disposable gloves to remain high throughout 2021. Manufacturers face many challenges, from a limited supply of raw materials to labor and production capacity shortages, especially when it comes to nitrile and latex. Currently, vinyl gloves are more readily available, and we recommend that clients consider purchasing them for use with tasks that do not require nitrile.

Vinyl provides a more affordable and effective option for a variety of work environments: food service and processing, painting, janitorial, sanitation, plumbing, beauty, and other applications where frequent glove changes are required.

COVID-19, and the new awareness of personal hygiene and safety has significantly altered the demand for gloves worldwide. Supply capacity is limited and is unlikely to catch up to demand across all segments before 2022.

We will continue working trying to find alternatives that can keep the prices low while keeping the quality high.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
