The growing need for disposable medical suppliers is notably driving market growth, although factors such as environmental concerns associated with the improper disposal of disposable medical supplies may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The growing need for disposable medical suppliers is notably driving the market growth. End-users prefer disposable medical supplies such as disposable anesthesia face masks instead of reusable devices. Disposable medical supplies prevent the spread of infections. Single-use medical disposable supplies have a lower risk of transmitting infections than reusable medical supplies.
Disposable devices are cost-effective and efficient when compared to reusable devices. The use of disposable medical supplies such as gloves and masks in healthcare facilities has increased owing to the growing focus on preserving hygiene and ensuring the safety of healthcare staff and patients. The demand for disposable hospital supplies such as syringes, needles, masks, drapes, and gowns is driven by the increasing focus of hospitals on meeting regulatory standards. As a result, the global disposable medical supplies market is expanding.
The rising demand for distribution through online channels and retailers is a key trend shaping the market. Manufacturers are focusing on direct channels, merchants, and internet channels for the distribution of different disposable medical supplies. They are providing hospitals with easy access to products because of the expanding marketing and promotional activities online. Manufacturing companies can save their distribution costs by using online branding and marketing strategies. Moreover, hospitals can purchase disposable medical goods from e-commerce sites.
The ease of buying drives up the sales of disposable medical supplies in hospitals through online channels. Products from these channels are unlikely defective and can be obtained quickly during emergency situations. Therefore, during the forecast period, these factors are expected to propel the growth of the global disposable medical supplies market during the forecast period.
Environmental concerns associated with the improper disposal of disposable medical supplies are challenging market growth. The use of disposable medical supplies by healthcare providers has grown significantly over the years to reduce the transmission of infections during medical and surgical procedures. Hospitals frequently use disposable medical supplies such as IV tubing, needles, syringes, surgical drapes, surgical kits, and trays.
Some of the diagnostic and therapeutic processes carried out in hospitals lead to the generation of wastes, which might be radioactive, dangerous, or contagious. For instance, nitrile, vinyl, polyurethane, and neoprene are synthetic materials used to make medical gloves and natural rubber. However, these gloves cannot be recycled, and their disposal in landfills or incinerators can pollute the environment. Therefore, during the forecast period, the adverse effects of improper disposal of disposable medical supplies on the environment can restrain the growth of the global disposable medical supplies market.

The hospitals and clinics segment was valued at USD 38.03 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Hygiene and safety measures are of high importance to hospitals and clinics. Therefore, the demand for disposable medical supplies such as gloves, face masks, drapes, bed sheets, syringes, and surgical instruments is high. The growth in the number of hospitals and clinics in developing countries and the rise in government initiatives to develop medical infrastructure have increased the demand for medical testing for diseases. As a result, the number of check-ups being conducted in hospitals is increasing, which is expected to further contribute to the global disposable medical supplies market growth during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 43% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
The growth of the market in North America is attributed to factors such as the rising prevalence of infectious diseases, the increasing number of surgical and diagnostic procedures, the growing awareness among healthcare professionals to prevent infections, the strict regulations to maintain hygiene and safety at hospital facilities, supportive government initiatives, and the presence of well-known vendors. Chronic diseases and lifestyle-related illnesses are becoming common in North America. Such conditions require surgical interventions, which boosts the growth of the regional market. The demand for disposable medical supplies is also positively impacted by effective government initiatives to stop infections and ensure safety in healthcare institutions. Such initiatives are anticipated to fuel the expansion of the North American market during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 led to the expansion of the disposable medical supplies market in North America, as people purchased face masks and respirators to stay safe in crowded spaces due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases. However, during the first and second quarters of 2020, manufacturing restrictions, border closures, mobility restrictions, and a decline in overall global trade disrupted the supply chains in North America, which negatively impacted the expansion of the regional disposable medical supplies market. In the third and fourth quarters of 2020, vendors in multiple countries started increasing manufacturing capacities, which reduced the region's supply-demand imbalance. Moreover, widespread vaccination drives and removal of restrictions as well as the resumption of operations led to an increase in the manufacturing of disposable medical supplies products. However, due to the lack of an urgent need after the pandemic, the demand for disposable masks and gloves is projected to increase, and the regional market is anticipated to expand gradually during the forecast period.
