According to the research report, “India Medical Disposables Market Overview, 2028” published by Bonafide Research, the market is anticipated to grow with more than 13.76% CAGR from 2023 to 2028. India's healthcare sector has been rapidly growing, with increased investments in infrastructure, the establishment of new hospitals and clinics, and a greater emphasis on healthcare access for its vast population. As a result, there is a higher requirement for medical disposables such as surgical gloves, masks, gowns, syringes, and various other single-use medical products in these healthcare facilities to ensure proper infection control and patient care. The Indian government has been actively promoting domestic manufacturing through initiatives such as ""Make in India,"" providing incentives and support to the medical disposables industry. This has not only encouraged the production of high-quality disposable medical products but has also positioned India as a reliable source of these items in the global market. India has become a hub for medical tourism, attracting patients from around the world for affordable and high-quality medical treatments. This has increased the demand for medical disposables in the country. India's economic growth has led to an increase in healthcare spending by individuals and the private sector. As people become more financially capable, they are willing to spend on better healthcare services, including the use of disposable medical products.

The market is divided into different categories based on the products, such as sterilization supplies, drug delivery products, diagnostics and laboratories, disposable masks, disposable non-woven gloves, disposables for dialysis, wound management products, incontinence products, respiratory supplies, disposable eye gear, hand sanitizers, and others (disposable protective clothing, bedpans, urine bags, and sharps containers). In India, the market for medical disposable sterilization supplies holds the largest and most significant share of near to 15.18% as of 2022 within the medical disposables industry. The importance of these supplies cannot be overstated, as they play a critical role in maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and safety in healthcare settings across the country. The combination of medical advancements, a rising prevalence of kidney-related diseases, and the emphasis on patient safety has led to a surge in demand for disposable dialysis products, making them a notable contributor to the overall growth of the medical disposables market in India. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, these disposable products are expected to play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being and quality of life for individuals with kidney-related ailments, further fueling the expansion of the medical disposables market. Along with this, the market for disposable drug delivery products is experiencing significant growth and transformation, driven by various factors that underscore the importance of these products in modern healthcare. Disposable drug delivery products encompass a wide range of devices, including prefilled syringes, auto injectors, inhalers, and wearable drug delivery systems.

According to the report, the market is segmented based on the Raw Materials, which are used to make the medical disposables; includes Plastic Resin, Nonwoven Material, Rubber, Paper and Paperboard, Metals, Glass, Others. In 2022, plastic resin emerged as the dominant raw material, underlining its versatility and widespread use. Plastic resins are favored for their cost-effectiveness, durability, and ability to meet stringent hygiene standards, making them a cornerstone of the medical disposables industry. Following closely behind plastic resins, nonwoven materials have gained significant traction. These materials are highly valued for their breathability, fluid resistance, and lightweight properties, making them ideal for applications such as surgical gowns, face masks, and wound dressings. In addition to plastic resins and nonwoven materials, rubber and paper and paperboard materials hold significant market shares. Rubber is essential for various medical equipment components like seals and gaskets, while paper and paperboard materials are extensively used in packaging for medical disposables, ensuring the integrity of the products until they are ready for use. The increasing use of glass as a raw material in medical disposables highlights its unique attributes and its indispensable role in specific healthcare applications. While plastic and other materials dominate the market, glass plays a crucial part in maintaining the integrity, safety, and precision of medical and pharmaceutical products, contributing to the overall advancement of healthcare and research.

In India, the medical disposable market is segmented into various end-user categories, with hospitals emerging as the dominant force in this sector. Hospitals are the primary users of medical disposables, and their extensive and diverse needs drive a significant share of the market. These healthcare institutions rely on a wide range of disposable products, including surgical gloves, syringes, sterile drapes, and single-use instruments, to maintain strict hygiene standards, protect both patients and healthcare workers, and ensure the overall quality of care. Following closely behind hospitals, outpatient and primary care facilities also play a substantial role in the medical disposable market with more than USD 23.51 Billion in 2022. These healthcare settings encompass clinics, doctor's offices, and specialty treatment centers and have recognized the importance of disposable supplies in safeguarding patients and medical professionals alike. The market for medical disposables in home healthcare is experiencing a significant and sustained increase, reflecting a broader shift towards providing medical care in the comfort and convenience of patients' homes. Home healthcare has gained prominence as an alternative and cost-effective approach to managing various medical conditions, especially for elderly or chronically ill patients.
