KUALA LUMPUR: The escalating US-China trade war appears to present an opportunity for Malaysian glove manufacturers to establish a firmer footing in the US market.

Malaysia, the world’s largest rubber gloves producer, could gain an additional 10 per cent share of the US medical glove market following fresh tariffs that Washington has slapped on all Chinese imports, analysts say.
