Disposable Medical Gloves Procurement Intelligence

In this Disposable Medical Gloves procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the key cost components as cost of raw materials, equipment & machinery, labor costs, energy, transportation & storage, and other expenses. The other expenses typically include quality assurance, taxes, depreciation, rent & utilities, and administrative expenses.

Cost of raw materials (primarily natural rubber, priced around 11.3 - 12.3 CNY/kg, and PVC, priced around 7,000 - 7,100 CNY/T) alone constitutes 45% - 50% of the total cost of ownership. The availability and the quality of raw materials significantly influence the performance of the gloves. In addition, factors such as oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions affect the prices of raw materials to a certain extent, which in turn affects disposable health protection solutions.

Another significant factor that affects the price of disposable gloves is transportation. Significant price rises in ocean freight contracts are already being felt by importers. The fact that gloves are produced in Southeast Asia, primarily in Malaysia, Vietnam, and China, necessitates more expensive ocean shipping for clients based out of western nations. In addition, the prices of fuel (in case of road transportation) adds-on to the expenses as well.
