China’s glove manufacturers are already looking beyond their country, with eyes on Southeast Asian countries that offer more cost-competitive environments after the United States said it will increase tariffs on Chinese products, including rubber medical and surgical gloves.
“Some buyers have already begun shifting their purchases to Malaysia as a risk management strategy. However, with 2026 still a few years away, we have to wait and see how the situation unfolds and what the actual tariff rate will be when the time comes,” Kuan said. According to data from the US International Trade Commission, the country imported close to US$640 million worth of face masks, syringes, and gloves from China in 2023.
