What is the Future of Global Medical Nonwoven Disposables Market?

"Nonwovens assist to keep costs down, therefore fighting infection has become one of the top priorities for healthcare providers and the medical nonwoven disposables market players."

Owing to their capacity to give stronger protection against infections to both patients and medical practitioners, demand for medical nonwoven disposables is actually higher than traditional fabrics used in healthcare institutions. According to a study conducted by Moylan, disposable nonwoven goods were found to lower the infection rate by 2 to 3 times when compared to traditional textiles, which is predicted to have a significant impact on the medical disposables market.

The medical nonwoven disposables market share is growing because of an increased focus on minimising hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) across all regions. In today's hospitalised patients, HAIs are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality that has bolstered the medical nonwoven disposables adoption trends in the present healthcare sector.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States (US), around 1.7 Million HAIs and 99,000 fatalities occur in the USA alone each year which has created a huge demand for medical nonwoven disposables. In addition, HAIs are currently the fifth-highest cause of death in acute care hospitals in other countries, augmenting the global medical nonwoven disposables market as well.

Furthermore, improvements in healthcare facilities and services in developing nations have contributed significantly to the growth of the medical nonwoven disposables market size. Also, an increase in disposable income increased health awareness, and a considerable increase in the senior population around the globe have all contributed to the increased sales of medical nonwoven disposables.

What are the Several Constraints Experienced for the Medical Nonwoven Disposables Market Growth?

During the projection period, however, the sufficient availability of new replacements such as reusable drapes, gowns, surgical masks, or even reusable undergarments, and panty shields is projected to stifle the medical nonwoven disposables market size expansion to some degree.

Also, because these reusable items can be machine washed and dried up several times, they are emerging as a more cost-effective alternative for consumers and are expected to hamper the medical nonwoven disposables market growth.

Other factors resulting from concerns over medical nonwoven product disposal, as well as its unsuitability during robotic-assisted procedures, are sighted to be some of the reasons limiting the global medical nonwoven disposable market growth.
