Surgical Gowns Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2031 - By Product, Technology, Grade, Application, End-user, Region: (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa)
Disposable Gowns Take Center Stage, Propelling Market Growth
The global surgical gowns market is experiencing a significant upswing, driven by the escalating number of surgical procedures conducted worldwide. The surge in surgical interventions is not only attributed to developed regions but is also prevalent in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa regions, thanks to a growing aging population and increased per capita income.
Guarding Against Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs)
Surgical gowns play a pivotal role in healthcare by preventing patients from acquiring Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs), which can be life-threatening. With recent advancements in healthcare facilities, awareness regarding HAIs has risen considerably. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, over 30% of HAIs are surgical site infections, adding a substantial burden to patients' hospital bills. This heightened awareness of HAIs is fueling the global surgical gowns market's growth as patients and healthcare providers seek effective prevention measures.
Innovation and Versatility Driving Growth
Continuous innovation by surgical gown manufacturers and effective marketing strategies are expected to further boost the market's revenue. Although the surgical gowns market has been established for some time, ongoing technological advancements are enhancing the efficiency of surgical gowns, providing better protection for both patients and surgeons.
The market offers a wide range of surgical gown options, including fabrics such as spunlace, spunbond, and SMS materials. This extensive variety caters to diverse end-user preferences, fostering growth in the surgical gowns market.
Disposable Gowns Lead the Way
In the product category, disposable surgical gowns currently dominate the global market in terms of revenue and are projected to maintain this position throughout the forecast period. Disposable surgical gowns are particularly attractive, with an attractiveness index of 5.0 over the forecast period.
This segment is expected to capture approximately 68% of the market value share and is on track to surpass 70% market share by 2031. The superior protection provided by disposable surgical gowns is driving their significant adoption, resulting in higher growth compared to reusable surgical gowns.
Reusable Gowns Find Demand in MEA
While disposable gowns take precedence globally, the Middle East & Africa (MEA) region stands out as an exception. In this region, reusable surgical gowns are in demand due to factors such as lower disposable income, limited awareness, and affordability constraints when it comes to purchasing expensive disposable surgical gowns.
The reusable surgical gowns segment dominates the Middle East & Africa surgical gowns market in revenue terms, accounting for about 55% of the anticipated market share.
As the global surgical gowns market continues to evolve, with disposable gowns leading the way, it plays a crucial role in ensuring patient safety and minimizing the risk of HAIs during surgical procedures.
