Medical Disposables Market Dynamics

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive growth in the global medical disposables markets over the forecast period. An increase in demand for disposable medical products to avoid contamination and hospital-acquired infectious diseases, as well as an increase in disease occurrence globally, are driving the market growth.  Furthermore, as disposables such as needles, scapula, syringes, scissors, and others are used in surgical techniques, the rise in automaton surgeries is expected to create a plethora of new opportunities. Demand for disposable medical aid has rapidly increased in the last half-decade due to rising disease diagnosis rates. Another factor contributing to the rising prevalence of various diseases and conditions is the growing elderly population and related illnesses, which increases the demand for medical disposables. Furthermore, the growing emphasis on preventing the spread of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and the stringent regulations imposed by healthcare organizations are expected to drive demand for disposable medical supplies in the near future. Besides that, rising environmental concerns as a result of improper medical waste disposal stymie this market.

Market by Raw Material

·         Plastic Resin

·         Rubber

·         Nonwoven Material

·         Metals

·         Paper and Paperboard

·         Glass

·         Others

Plastic resin accounted for the majority of the market share in terms of raw material in 2021. Plastic resin is a key component of a significant proportion of disposable and non-disposable medical devices. Plastics are an ideal group of materials that cover a wide range of application fields in health and healthcare due to their lightweight, non-corrosive nature, biocompatibility, low cost, chemical inertness, and comparable densities to human organs. Furthermore, plastic resins are widely used in the manufacture of disposable medical devices such as disposable syringes, intravenous solution tubes, containers, and other packaging materials for pharmaceutical products. The rising prevalence of hospital-acquired disease, as well as the increased use of disposable equipment objects to prevent the spread of Covid-19, is driving the market growth.

Market by End-use

·         Hospitals

·         Outpatient/Primary Care Facilities

·         Home Healthcare

·         Others

In terms of end-use, the hospital will have the largest market share in 2021. Medical disposables are primarily used in hospitals to maintain the sterile field created by healthcare professionals during surgeries or procedures. The demand for medical disposables in hospitals is rising as the number of patients admitted to hospitals for Covid-19 treatment and surgical procedures rises. As a result, increased use of medical disposables in hospitals may hasten the development of the section during the forecast period. Additionally, expanded coverage for various diseases and conditions in various health insurance plans is expected to drive segment growth.
