KUALA LUMPUR (July 2): Maybank Investment Bank Bhd (Maybank IB) said today the best is over for the Malaysian rubber glove manufacturing sector as average selling prices (ASPs) had peaked in the first half of 2021 (1H21) amid moderating demand for gloves on rising Covid-19 vaccination rates.
Maybank IB analyst Wong Wei Sum wrote in a note today that the glove sector’s earnings upcycle seems to have been cut short in anticipation of a faster-than-expected decline in glove ASPs in 2H21. The glove sector is entering a phase of declining ASP (and hence profit) trend on increased supply and rising vaccination rates. Competition is intensifying among both existing and new entrants.
