Medical gloves are personal protective equipment (PPE) used to protect HCPs and/or patients from infection or illness during medical procedures and examinations. They are elements of infection-control strategy and are used when the user’s hands touch body fluids, including blood, respiratory secretions, vomit, urine or feces, certain hazardous drugs, or potentially contaminated items. Medical gloves are disposable and include both examination gloves and surgical gloves. Compared with examination gloves, surgical gloves offer better sizing with better precision and sensitivity and maintain a higher standard. Examination gloves are available as either sterile or non-sterile, while surgical gloves are generally sterile. Both surgical and examination gloves can also be used for handling chemotherapy agents for cancer treatment. 

9 月15 日，国家发改委与生态环境部联合印发《“十四五”塑料污染治理行动方案》。方案指出，将进一步完善塑料污染全链条治理体系，压实地方、部门和企业责任，聚焦重点环节、重点领域、重点区域，积极推动塑料生产和使用源头减量、科学稳妥推广塑料替代产品。国立科技主营研发、生产、销售低碳环保高分子材料及产品，在可降解塑料领域，公司已掌握生物降解塑料材料制品的配方及工艺技术，目前已实现生物降解塑料产品小批次量产。公司紧密结合国家政策变化趋势及市场实际需求，近期发布定增预案，募资不超过2.82 亿元，将用于生物降解材料及制品产业化建设项目、生物降解材料研发项目及补充流动资金。公司表示，未来将不断致力于为“十四五”期间推行塑料污染治理做贡献，助力我国经济社会的绿色可持续发展。

The global disposable gloves market is experiencing extremely high demand, supply shortages, competition for production lines, and higher production costs because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic across the world. Global players are unable to absorb all the resulting production cost increases due to factors like a hike in raw material cost, labor shortage, and more, thereby resulting in higher cost of the final products to customers.

三季度以来行业开工率处于低位，企业产销量、盈利水平受限。受外部因 素影响，三季度轮胎行业开工率下滑至约55%，处于底部位置。产销量方面， 玲珑轮胎、赛轮轮胎同比均下滑10%以上。同时，企业毛利率水平也有所下 降，玲珑、赛轮和森麒麟的毛利率同比均减少10 个百分点以上。

海运费下降，出口需求增加。海运费取决于海运运力和海运需求的供需关系，欧美的海运运力受制于港口装卸能力，已达顶峰；海运需求成为运费的核心变量，我们从中国大陆库存和美国库存来预判海运需求量，目前情况是中国大陆产品库销比下降，美国库销比也比较低，我们预计随着国内供给的收缩，海运需求量有望下降，全球海运费价格松动。轮胎行业集装箱可获得性增加，出口需求有望好转。
