Middle East and Africa Blade Removers Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Product Type (Single Use Blade Removers, and Multiple Use Blade Removers), and End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Others)
The Middle East and Africa blade remover market is expected to reach US$ 4,689.27 thousand by 2028 from US$ 4,268.88 thousand in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 1.4% from 2021-2028. The growth of the market is due to the rising focus on safety enhancement and surgical procedures and increasing technological developments and product launches of blade removers. However, inherent challenges associated with blade removers, such as the requirement of two-handed operation, are expected to restrict the market growth during the forecast period.
Enhancement in surgical procedures is the key to improving treatment results. Ensuring the secure and transparent translation of such enhancements is critical. There has been significant growth in private healthcare facilities in the Middle East and Africa. Blade remover manufacturers are focused on shifting their production base and network to areas with cheap labor and substantial end-user demand. They are also looking for growth opportunities in remote areas. Reducing regulatory requirements for a product launch can help these manufacturers. This is expected to help the companies grow and mark their presence in the market in the coming years.
In February 2021, Swann-Morton produced various scalpel handles and blades, thereby providing more freedom to use. It is simple to use and offers safety with the latest blade removal standards. The devices used in surgical procedures are generally classified as low-risk devices; they do not involve rigorous regulatory approval processes, supporting new product launches, and the blade removers market growth. In addition, the presence of local players offering products at lower prices facilitates access to such products and thus encourages their use. The rapid development in the healthcare industry and technological advancements in this field are likely to propel the market in the coming years. Moreover, the increasing awareness in the healthcare sector regarding the safety of healthcare workers (HCWs) is also expected to boost the market’s growth.
The socioeconomic condition of the Middle Eastern countries has been widely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to less developed economies, several countries are depended on the suppliers for healthcare products.
The COVID-19 outbreak in Africa led to disruptions in healthcare services that initially affected the growth of the market for blade removers. In addition, a decline in domestic and external demand for goods and products and discontinued production due to lack of labor has significantly impacted the market in the region. Moreover, patients who require surgeries are treated as COVID-19 positive until confirmed by the tests to minimize the infection spread. Additionally, it is critical to reduce the total number of operators working in the designated COVID-19 operating area (COA). The demand for blade removers increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to surgeries performed on positive patients. Also, to control the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the operating room, all required surgical materials involving stitches and scalpel blades were sterilized.
