The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is notably driving the growth of the body bags market in Europe, although factors such as the environmental impact of body bags may impede the market growth. Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a decrease in demand for the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Body Bags Market in Europe Driver
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is the key factor driving the growth of the body bags market in Europe. The prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer, CVD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, and viral diseases such as hepatitis C and HIV is rising due to several lifestyle-related factors, including smoking, drinking, exposure to biomass fuels, disturbed lifestyle patterns, and air pollution. Owing to the significant presence of these factors in the environment, CVDs have become a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe.
In Europe, CVD continues to be the leading cause of death. Women lose more lives to CVD than men; each year, CVD causes 3.9 million deaths in Europe and over 1.8 million deaths in the EU. Apart from the lifestyle factors mentioned above, factors such as old age contribute to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. The symptoms of these diseases usually appear after 40 years of age. Hence, the growth of the global geriatric population will further increase the number of people at risk of developing chronic diseases and dying from them. These factors will drive the demand for body bags in Europe during the forecast period.
Key Body Bags Market in Europe Trend
The rise in traffic accidents will fuel the growth of the body bags market in Europe. Over-speeding, failure to understand traffic signs, fatigue, rash driving, violation of rules, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs are the primary reasons for traffic accidents in Europe. Over 1.3 million people were injured, and approximately 26,000 people died due to traffic accidents in Europe in 2020. Similarly, in 2020, the number of people injured and killed in traffic accidents per 10,000 people was 42.8 in Austria (the highest in Europe);
Germany was in second place, while Portugal came third. In 2021, there was an increase in traffic accident-related fatalities in the EU, with 19,800 deaths; of these, Croatia accounted for 72 traffic fatalities (per million people) in 2021, up from 58 per million in 2020. Compared to 42 in 2020, the average number of traffic fatalities per million people in the EU in 2021 was 44. Therefore, a rise in the number of people killed in traffic accidents will increase the demand for body bags, thus contributing to the growth of the body bags market in Europe during the forecast period.
Key Body Bags Market in Europe Challenge
The environmental impact of body bags is a major challenge to the growth of the body bags market in Europe. Body bags, especially mortuary bags, are made using olefins, polypropylene, reinforced poly material, PVC, nylon, mesh PVC, and bioplastics such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). Nylon is non-biodegradable and will remain in the environment indefinitely.
Recycling body bags is a major challenge. Moreover, the rising manufacturing of plastic body bags due to the high mortality rate associated with the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the environment, as the manufacturing process involves the emission of toxic chemicals, which can lead to land, water, and air pollution. These factors will limit the growth of the body bags market in Europe during the forecast period and compel vendors to develop more environment-friendly materials for body bags.

The morgue segment showed a gradual increase in market share with USD 106.08 million in 2017 and will continue to grow by 2021. Body bags are used to transport and store human corpses in a morgue. These bags are water and fluid-resistant and help reduce the risk of contamination. The rising prevalence of infectious diseases and the rising number of new cremation centers being set up across Europe will drive segment growth. Furthermore, our report provides a brief analysis of the historical and forecast market share and their segments, along with the reasons for growth from 2017 to 2027.
The growth of this segment is primarily attributed to the increasing adoption of Body Bags in Europe, which is driven by an increase in the regional demand for the Body Bags Industry.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 increased the demand for body bags in Europe due to the high mortality rate in countries. COVID-19 affects the body's respiratory system; thus, thousands of deaths occurred during the first half of 2020. Most deaths in England and Wales occur in hospitals. The demand for body bags witnessed a significant increase during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in 2021, major countries in the region started large-scale COVID-19 vaccination drives, which decreased the number of COVID-19 cases, which, in turn, reduced the demand for body bags. In addition, another reason for the increased mortality rate in the region is road accidents. Almost three out of every four fatalities resulting from traffic incidents in Spain happen on conventional roads. Similarly, in 2021, police forces in Wales (UK) recorded a total of 3,288 road accidents, an increase of 416 (14.5%) compared to 2020. Thus, a rise in the number of deaths from road accidents and infectious diseases will contribute to the growth of the body bags market in the Rest of Europe during the forecast period.
