Major growth drivers for Saudi Arabia medical disposables market include increasing hospital acquired infections (HAIs), growing number of surgical procedures being performed, a higher prevalence of chronic diseases, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The market for medical disposables in Saudi Arabia is being driven primarily by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. According to a report by the International Diabetes Federation, the prevalence of diabetes in Saudi Arabia is 18.3%, with 7 million people being diabetic and 3 million having pre-diabetes. This high prevalence of diabetes results in diabetic foot ulcers, leading to extended hospital stays and driving the market for medical disposables. Within the medical disposables market, supplies and devices designed for managing chronic diseases are expected to see high revenue growth. This includes items such as dialysis, urinary drainage, ostomy, and respiratory disorder supplies, as well as first aid kits and medical waste disposal supplies. As self-treatment becomes more popular, the demand for high value-added products with superior infection prevention protections is expected to grow. Also, advances in the quality of medical disposables are likely to improve the safety and outcome of various patient procedures in Saudi Arabia. Hence, such factors are expected to boost the expansion of Saudi Arabia medical disposables market. However, the high cost of medical disposables may limit their adoption and is anticipated to restrain the overall market growth.
