"As the pandemic transitions into an endemic, the industry has been experiencing the effects of the normalisation in terms
of demand and average selling price," the medical glove maker said.

The resulting softer performance has occurred amidst a convergence of headwinds, with production cost moving upward due to global inflation and as the Russia Ukraine conflict driving up crude oil prices," it added.

Top Glove added that they also had to deal with an increase in natural gas, electricity tariffs, and minimum wage an implementation which came into effect 1 May 2022.

"The escalating costs resulted in margin compression, as the Group was unable to fully pass the cost through amidst the ongoing oversupply situation. However, average selling prices are declining at a far slower pace which will help cushion the cost impact going forward," the company explained.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
