"We are encouraged by the continual improvement in our results from quarter to quarter," said Lim Cheong Guan, managing director of Top Glove. He said a resumption in glove orders "indicative of the market rebounding," adding that Top Glove hoped to achieve "sustained recovery in the coming quarters." Looking ahead, the group maintains "a positive mid to long term outlook" on the glove industry. Top Glove foresees global glove demand resuming growth of around 8 percent "in time to come," as consumption picks up driven by customers' replenishment of depleted stocks.
