Linen and Turnover Kits Market

Demand for Single-use Disposable Linen, to Heighten Uptake of Linen and Turnover Kits

Linen & turnover kits market has witnessed a seismic shift towards single-use disposable linen. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Single-use clothing exhibits advantages such as better hygiene and easy disposal.

Using single-use disposable linen eliminates the need for sterilization in central sterile processing and enables the staff to focus on processing and sterilization of surgical instruments and other supplies. On the backdrop of the aforementioned factors, demand for single-use disposable linen will remain high with voluminous sales.

Widespread Use of Non-woven Fabrics to Restrict Market Growth

Nosocomial infections and cross-contamination in hospitals have made it abundantly clear that the reusable hospital linen could create a hazard to patients. As the technology gradually improved, use of nonwoven materials proved to be a superior alternative to woven linen products in terms of disposability, effectiveness, cost, and adaptability.

Furthermore, widespread adoption of nonwovens can be attributed to the short process flow, fast production, high yield, low cost, and abundant sources of raw materials. With all the combined properties, the extensive use of nonwoven fabrics in medical sector is expected to be a restraining factor for the linen & turnover kits market.
