Sales Analysis of Hospital Supplies Market from 2017 to 2021 Vs Demand Outlook for 2022 to 2032

According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the overall sales of hospital supplies grew at a CAGR of 3.3% between 2017 and 2021. However, the demand in the hospital supplies market is expected to increase at a CAGR of 3.5%, reaching USD 42.3 Billion by the end of 2032.

The global hospital supplies market held around 20% of the global medical supplies market which was valued at nearly USD 138 Billion in the year 2021.

Hospital settings and other healthcare units are at a greater risk of infections and viral exposure, resulting in a rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections for over a decade. Several measures are being considered to prevent and reduce the prevalence rate such as the use of disposable procedure kits and trays, sterile and disposable products, sterile medical devices, disposable gloves, and other disposable medical supplies.

For instance, in March 2022, Becton, Dickinson & Company launched a TCR/BCR multi-omic assay which aids in speeding the discovery of infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and immune-oncology as well.

According to a survey conducted by CDC, in 2019, about 1 in 31 patients had at least one healthcare-associated infection. In addition, it is also noticed that the prevalence rate of hospital-acquired infections in low-income countries is far higher than in high-income countries.

Hospital Supplies Market

For instance, a study published in the International Journal of Research and Public Health in 2020 states that a 7.5% prevalence of hospital-acquired infection was observed in high-income countries, although others have reported rates of 4.5% in the USA and 5.7%-7.1% in Europe, while in low- and middle-income countries, however, the prevalence rate ranged between 5.7% and 19.2%.

The hospital supplies market includes different product types such as wound care products, dialysis products, sterilization consumables, infusion products, and hypodermic and radiology products amongst others.

Based on product, hypodermic and radiology products like syringes, needles and consumable products for radiography and ultrasound were the dominant market segment in the global market in 2021, which contributed 17.6% of the revenue share.

The global hospital supplies market is expected to be valued at USD 42.3 Billion by the end of 2032, registering a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period.

What are the Key Opportunities for Hospital Supplies Manufacturers

Growing awareness regarding health & hygiene practices, particularly in hospitals will offer lucrative opportunities to market players. The rising disposable income and large patient pool due to a lack of awareness regarding hygiene in emerging economies will drive sales in the market.

Increasing expenditure on healthcare services is leading to the emergence of more and new hospitals worldwide, which in turn, is spurring demand for hospital supplies.

Other factors such as the growth in nosocomial infections have not only increased the mortality and morbidity rate but also the healthcare burden by stretching the length of hospitalization. Therefore, organizations such as the CDC and WHO are putting immense efforts into layout guidelines and conducting vigorous studies to control the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections.

However, despite these efforts, there is still a significant rise in the prevalence of these infections. Thus, increasing research and development efforts to develop hygienic solutions in the hospital supplies industry to minimize exposure to infection and other viral diseases expect to uncap lucrative opportunities in the hospital supplies market.

Which Factors are Restraining Demand for Hospital Supplies

Lack of awareness regarding hospital-acquired infection and hygiene in developing countries is contributing to the rapid rise of hospital-acquired infection in these countries. According to a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, more than 20% of all hospital-acquired infections are associated with intensive care unit visits.

Most emerging nations have about 2-3-fold higher hospital-acquired infection populations. Thus, the lack of awareness in developing countries regarding hospital-acquired infection and its diagnosis is projected to restrict the growth in the hospital-acquired infection testing market. This is expected to have a negative impact on sales of hospital supplies.

When most countries in the developed regions have strongly built health insurance coverage, these policies are less spread in developing countries. World Health Organization states that the world's partial population is not able to obtain essential health services.

According to a national survey, only one-fifth of the Indian population is insured under health insurance.

Most health insurance schemes do not cover disposables such as disposable gloves or masks utilized during surgical procedures. This adds to the overall cost imparted on the patient’s budget. Thus, the lack of proper health insurance that covers essential healthcare services and the cost of various hospital supplies in underdeveloped and developing countries may restrain the growth in the hospital supplies market.
