Global Surgical Drapes Market - 2024-2031

Global Surgical Drapes Market - 2024-2031

Global Surgical Drapes Market reached US$ XX million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2024-2031

Surgical drapes are employed to provide a physical barrier that protects the surgical field from contamination. An “ether screen” is a wall of drapes set up to provide a barrier between the anaesthesia work area, at the head of the patient, and the surgical field. Drapes are also placed in the surgical field around the incision site to cover the patient and collect fluids.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases

The rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases is one of the main factors that helps the overall market to grow during the forecast period. For instance, according to the American Heart Association, by 2035, more than 130 million adults or 45.1% of the U.S. population might suffer from some of the other forms of CVD. Likewise, according to the CDC, about 655,000 Americans die from heart disease annually, which is 1 in every 4 deaths.

The CDC also states that 6 in 10 adults in the U.S. have a chronic disease, and 4 in 10 adults suffer from 2 or more chronic diseases. Thus, the growing patient pool leads to an increase in surgeries and hospitalisations, thereby raising the demand for surgical drapes.

Furthermore, global surgical drapes are also driven by various other factors like a rise in the advancements in drapes, a rise in the number of surgical procedures and others that helps the market to grow during the forecast period.

Stringent regulatory standards

The surgical drapes market has significant constraints due to stringent regulatory standards, increasing production costs and creating barriers to entry. Manufacturers face financial challenges and environmental concerns, as disposable drapes contribute to medical waste. Balancing compliance with sustainability remains a challenge for manufacturers in the healthcare sector, as meeting standards while reducing environmental impact is a complex task that affects market expansion.

Segment Analysis

The global surgical drapes market is segmented based on product type, application, material type, usage type, end-user and region.

The incise drapes from the product type segment accounted for approximately 42.3% of the surgical drapes market share

The incise drapes from the product type segment accounted for approximately 42.3% and are expected to grow during the forecast period. Antibacterial incise drapes help reduce the risk of wound contamination during surgery by immobilising bacteria on the skin. Incise drapes adhere well to the skin and reduce bacterial migration into the wound. We took skin swabs before and after the application of incise drapes during hip and knee arthroplasty procedures.

For instance, in March 2022, Cardinal Health launched the first surgical incise drape using industry-leading antiseptic Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG).

The drape features Avery Dennison's patented BeneHold CHG adhesive technology, which helps reduce the risk of surgical site contamination with organisms typically associated with surgical site infections (SSIs). The incise film is strong, conformable and breathable and provides a sterile surface to create a barrier to contamination. The adhesive helps prevent edge lift of the drape, while still removing easily after surgery without harming fragile skin.

Geographical Analysis

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period owing to factors like the presence of well-established market players, novel product launches by key players, a growing number of surgical procedures, and an increasing number of surgical site infections and other factors help the region to grow during the forecast period.

For instance, in April 2023, Cardinal Health stated the launch of the first-of-its-kind Stray Away hair management drape for more efficient surgical procedure preparation. The Stray Away drape is specifically designed and manufactured by Cardinal Health to help minimise hair from obstructing the surgical area and to improve patient preparation time and experience.

Covid 19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused substantial disruptions to surgical-care delivery mainly due to the diversion of available resources from surgical to COVID-19 care, reduced flow of patients, supply-chain interruptions and social distancing and restriction measures. Also, the pandemic has increased the concerns regarding infectious microorganism transfer through aerosol formation in endonasal and transoral surgeries.

Thus, to help this resolve, the negative-pressure otolaryngology viral isolation drape (NOVID) is under development to restrict aerosol and droplet transmission in and around the surgery site. Such developments are further stimulating market growth.
