Biohazard Bags Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product Material (HDPE, LDPE, Cellophane, Polypropylene), By Application (Highly Infectious Waste), By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030
Biohazard Bags Market Growth & Trends
The global biohazard bags market size is expected to reach USD 601.9 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.8% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing population base, increasing awareness regarding the critical role of waste disposal in controlling human infection, and the rising hospital/healthcare standards in developing countries have together contributed to the market growth.
Waste disposal in biohazard bags is a critical step in maintaining the healthcare safety standards of medical institutions. Medical waste disposal in biohazard bags ensures that infectious waste isn’t exposed to the public and are disinfected or sterilized in a proper manner. Increasing awareness regarding hospital safety standards and investments by hospitals in maintaining their cleanliness are leading to increased use of biohazard bags, thereby propelling the biohazard bag market growth over the forecast period.
Biohazard bags allow proper handling of medical waste as the material used to handle medical waste needs to be tough, economical, and capable of creating an unbreakable containment. HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), LDPE (Low Density PolyEthylene), cellophane, and polyproylene are some commonly used materials for manufacturing biohazard bags. The materials and designs are generally autoclave safe, allowing them to be sterilized before disposal.
