As per the Medical Disposables industry research by Future Market Insights - a market research and competitive intelligence provider, historically, from 2018 to 2022, the market increased at around 6.3% CAGR, wherein, countries such as the USA, China, Japan, United kingdom, and South Korea held a significant share in the global market.
Medical disposables are disposable materials including gloves, robes, and face masks used by medical workers to protect their hands from contamination and illness when they come in contact with a patient. Medical disposables have been used since the early 1800s when they were constructed of cotton wool, lint bandages, and paper dressings that did not protect the wearer from chemical or biological agents. New material has been produced throughout time that is not only more effective in terms of protection but also less expensive, to fulfill the demands of all healthcare facilities, large and small.
The rising incidence of Hospital Acquired Infections, an increasing number of surgical procedures, and the growing prevalence of chronic diseases leading to longer hospital admission have been the key factors driving the market. Owing to these factors, the medical disposables market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% over the coming 10 years.
The subsequent spike in the number of chronic illness cases and a rise in the rate of hospitalizations has fueled the field of emergency medical disposables growth. The expansion of the medical disposables market is being fueled by an increase in the prevalence of hospital-acquired illnesses and disorders, as well as a greater focus on infection prevention. For example, the prevalence of healthcare-associated infection in high-income countries ranges from 3.5% to 12%, whereas it ranges from 5.7% to 19.1% in low and medium-income countries.
A growing geriatric population, an increase in the incidence of incontinence issues, mandatory guidelines that must be followed for patient safety at healthcare institutions, and an increase in demand for sophisticated healthcare facilities is driving the medical disposables market.
