“The demand for gloves as an essential item in the health care sector was expected to grow by at least 10% each year, even before the onset of the pandemic,” said Top Glove chairman Tan Sri Dr Lim Wee Chai.
“With increased awareness of the importance of gloves arising from the pandemic, people who started using gloves in recent months are expected to continue using them even after the pandemic recedes, further driving demand, which is estimated to grow by 12% per year in the post-Covid-19 environment.
“It is also important to recognise that the spike in demand arising from Covid-19 is temporary. Indeed, over the past 30 years we have seen many epidemics and pandemics — including SARS, Swine Flu, H1N1, Bird Flu and Ebola — as they happen about once every five years. Covid-19 is part of this repeating cycle,” Lim said in an interview with Oxford Business Group.
He said the growth in demand for medical gloves started in China and South Korea, and then it followed in Europe and the US as the virus spread.
Lim said the expansion efforts of Top Glove, the world’s largest producer, was designed to cater to growing demand over the longer term.
“Our company believes that the market will be able to absorb the additional capacity, and we will continue to expand production and adjust plans if necessary,” he said.
Lim noted that Top Glove was already in expansion mode, even before the Covid-19 outbreak.
“We were building around one or two new factories each year and had spare capacity that we were able to utilise to ramp up production as demand more than doubled due to the pandemic. Indeed, our production utilisation has increased from 85% to nearly 100%,” he added.
Hi all, I am father of rr88, just created account once I noticed my 40 year old fat virgin gay son is commenting shit in all gloves counter. I, on behalf of him, am so sorry for my son's action and please forgive him. I accidentally dropped him when he was just 2 years old, probably caused something in his head. I'll pull his ear later hopefully he'll learn from this. He'll be back commenting shit as I can't control him but I hope he'll reduce little by little soon. Baby steps for baby mind. Thank you all. Best regards, rr88's father.
To rr88: Shame on you, son. Your mother already left me after caught cheating with next door neighbour and now you do this, I have no more face. Please change. I should have dropped you harder that day till you can't type anymore. Damn it, missed my chance.
