Global Medical Scrubs Market - 2023-2030

Global Medical Scrubs Market - 2023-2030


Global Medical Scrubs Market reached US$ 86.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 134.4 billion by 2030 growing with a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Medical scrubs that are treated in a specialised facility (rather than in staff residences) help to limit the transmission of potentially dangerous illnesses and viruses. Scrubs must be washed with the same accuracy and attention to hygiene as any other medical care linen. Medical scrubs for doctors are quite useful in detecting harmful pollutants and vapours. They may contain faeces, pee, blood, vomit, and other substances or fluids. It is critical to do so in order to reduce contamination and the spread of germs.

Furthermore, the global medical scrubs market is driven by various factors like an increase in new material launches, a rise in the healthcare industry, awareness of healthcare-associated Infections rapid expansion of the healthcare resources and personnel in these countries, rapid increase in the number of healthcare professionals and among others helps to drive the market during the forecast.

Dynamics

Rise in The Number of Healthcare Professionals

The rising number of healthcare professionals has a direct influence on the medical scrubs market, as it drives up demand for uniforms and work clothing. As the healthcare sector expands and more experts enter the area, correspondingly rises the demand for proper apparel, especially medical scrubs.

For instance, according to a report published by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare 2022. The doctor-population ratio is 1:834 in the country assuming 80% availability of registered allopathic doctors and 5.65 lakh AYUSH doctors. Also, there are 2.89 lakh registered dentists, 32.63 lakh registered nursing personnel and 13 lakh Allied and Healthcare Professionals in the country. This is anticipated to lead to increasing demand for the medical scrubs market from the healthcare workforce in these countries.

Rise in Demand For Fashionable Products

The rising demand for attractive scrubs has resulted in a greater emphasis on customisation and personalisation. Some manufacturers include personalised alternatives for names, logos, or distinctive designs, allowing healthcare practitioners to create personalised uniforms. Thus this factor indeed helps to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

In February 2023, Fabletics announced the launch of Fabletics Scrubs, the world’s first-of-its-kind activewear scrubs that brings the brand’s expertise in premium quality, design and performance wear to the medical apparel category. Developed through extensive research and insights from over 6,500 medical professionals, Fabletics Scrubs has redefined the traditional scrubs uniform to create a collection of performance-grade workwear that is durable, comfortable and made for daylong wear by a highly active community.

Lack of Reimbursement

The significant increase in the adoption of medical scrubs across hospitals to prevent hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) has majorly contributed to its increased cost. Many countries such as the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, Germany, and France offer reimbursement for these products. For instance, according to an article published by Happythreads LTD., in May 2022, in Ireland, nurses can claim up to USD 1,264, and doctors can claim USD 1,199 (€1,112) tax back on uniforms over four years.

These rules, however, continue to be lacking for emerging countries such as China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and Africa because there is no compensation for healthcare employees' purchases, which adds to an increase in out-of-pocket spending. This has resulted in an increase in demand for worn scrubs and medical apparel in these nations.

Segment Analysis

The global medical scrubs market is segmented based on product, material, usage, end user and region.

The Surgical Scrubs From the Product Segment Accounted for Approximately 43.7% of the Medical Scrubs Share

The surgical scrubs from the product segment with around 43.7% is expected to dominate during the forecast period, owing to due to increasing focus on preventive care amongst healthcare professionals. The growing number of surgical procedures and rapidly developing healthcare infrastructure are the key factors propelling medical uniforms, primarily contributing to the segment's growth.

For instance, according to an article published by The Network Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors (NAUMD) in October 2022, Ouragins, a medical apparel company, emphasizes reinventing the medical scrub fabric with its ThreadFusion technology. ThreadFusion antimicrobial technology aids in the infusion of copper in the medical scrubs fabric and kills 99% of the germs within 2 hours after contact with the scrub surface.

Geographical Penetration

North America Accounted for Approximately 38.4% of the Market Share in 2022

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period, due to the many key players' focus on launching new products with unique designs, contributing to the market growth in the region.

For instance, in November 2021, Livinguard, a Swiss-based company, launched an apparel line of permanent self-disinfecting scrubs, under scrubs, and lab coats using EPA-registered textiles. These scrubs continuously self-disinfect throughout the day, providing hygienic performance for healthcare workers. The technology is tested for hypoallergenic skin sensitivities and is wash-durable for long-lasting performance.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the medical scrubs market include Cardinal Health, Halyard Health, Barco Uniforms, Superior Uniform Groups, Medline Industries, Mölnlycke Health Care, Dickies Medical, Narang Medical Limited, Landau, ABG Uniforms and among others.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 epidemic had a severe influence on the medical scrubs market. The epidemic disrupted global supply chains and reduced demand for goods and services in a variety of industries, including the medical scrubs market. One of the most significant effects of COVID-19 on the medical scrubs market was a decrease in consumer expenditure, especially in the first half of 2020. Consumers were hesitant to make non-essential purchases as several countries implemented lockdowns and social distancing measures, affecting market demand.

Russia Ukraine Conflict Analysis

The Russia-Ukraine conflict is estimated to have a moderate impact on the global medical scrubs market, owing to the low prevalence and absence of key market players in this region. However, the impact of the import and export of fabric materials is expected to have little influence over the global medical scrubs market growth over the forecast period.
