Supply shortage for gloves


Adding to the shortage of gloves is the possibility that Covid-19 cases, which had caused a surge in the demand and hence price of gloves before this, could continue to peak due to new variants of the virus. Hence, some analysts are not downgrading the glove sector as yet.

Adding to this shortage is the possibility that Covid-19 cases, which had caused a surge in the demand and hence price of gloves before this, could continue to peak due to new variants of the virus. Hence, some analysts are not downgrading the glove sector as yet.
