Disposable Hospital Supplies Market Trends



  • The increasing number of surgical procedures is driving the market growth


The market's expansion is due to factors such as an increase in surgical operations, an increase in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases that prolong hospital stays, and the effects of COVID-19 outbreaks over the world. The demand for medical disposables has increased dramatically as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and rising hospital admissions worldwide. In order to fulfil the rising need globally, the WHO has urged businesses and governments to produce 40.00% more personal protective equipment, such as hospital gowns, gloves, medical masks, face shields, aprons, respirators, and goggles. Additionally, it stated that these items' prices had significantly increased due to the rise in demand for them. For instance, the cost of hospital gowns has doubled while the cost of surgical masks has climbed six-fold. Additionally, the WHO has distributed roughly 500,000 units of personal protective equipment to about 47 different nations. As a result, the COVID-19 epidemic has had a significant impact on the industry and is a very powerful driver of this market.


It is anticipated that the COVID-19 epidemic will have a considerable effect on the market for medical disposables. The demand for medications, medical supplies, emergency supplies, and hospital equipment like gowns, antiseptics, and disinfectants has significantly grown as a result of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. Bats were thought to be the main reservoir for COVID-19, a zoonotic virus. The first patient was recorded in China in December 2019, and since then, the sickness has spread quickly. It has been determined that the infection in the initial instance, which was reported in Wuhan, came from a zoonotic source. Following that incidence, households in Wuhan were the main setting for human-to-human virus transmission. Thus, driving the Disposable Hospital Supplies market revenue.
