Is Malaysia losing its hold on the glove market?

摘要

The global rubber glove market has been dominated by Malaysia, which accounts for more than half of the total global market share. It is the production nest for large glove makers the likes of Kossan, Hartalgea, Supermax, Top Glove, and Latexx Partners. The Southeast Asian country is also the third largest producer of natural rubber, which, in terms of raw materials alone, is already an edge over other rubber glove sources elsewhere in the world.
