With the rise in covid cases around the world higine and cleanliness has become the top priority for people around the globe due to this demand for gloves is rapidly rising.

Malaysia, is a country that produces about 65% of the world’s supply for rubber gloves, now counts at least four billionaires whose fortunes were made in the industry, including two new ones this year alone. Thai Kim Sim of Supermax Corp. was the latest to join the club, with a net worth estimated at about $1 billion at the stock high earlier this month, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

A jump in demand due to the coronavirus outbreak has propelled shares of companies making protective gear, suddenly turning the Southeast Asian nation into a hotspot for creating ultra-wealthy individuals within the sector. Top Glove Corp., the world’s biggest maker of the product, Hartalega Holdings Bhd. and Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd. have all benefited. But with a fivefold jump, Supermax’s ascent has been particularly notable this year.

Global demand for rubber gloves could grow by 11% this year, two-thirds of which is likely to come from Malaysia, the country’s rubber glove manufacturers association estimates.
