Globally, authorities are making rigid health and safety regulations which include mandatory usage of personal protection gear (PPE) at workplaces that expose individuals to extreme risk. Regulation-making institutions setting standards of compliance, such as EU-OSHA within the European region and OSHA within the U.S., directly compel the need for industrial gloves. As an example, employers are made obligatory to distribute adequate gloves following the standards set under U.S. OSHA rule 1910.138, requiring the provision of hand protection for laborers facing exposures.

Development of Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable Gloves: Gloves constructed from biodegradable or recyclable materials are increasingly sought after as environmental issues increase. Biodegradable nitrile gloves, which have been researched and developed by industries such as SHOWA Group, break down faster in landfills. This trend is particularly prevalent in Europe, where eco-friendly procurement directives are boosting the PPE industry's product innovation.
