The market exhibits a complex landscape influenced by diverse end-user segmentation including healthcare facilities, disaster response teams, and forensic departments. Automation technologies streamline operations across eCommerce websites such as eBay and offline retail shops, catering to diverse clientele including corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and the general public. The market landscape depends on the Social media, Luxury bags, Online sales, Workforce, Omnibus survey, Leather handbag, Online shopping, Fabric handbag, Specialty stores, Tote bag. Omnibus surveys gauge market sentiment, influencing product development and marketing strategies in both specialty and department stores. The demand for leather fashion bags, craft bags, and travel bags remains robust, with Anya Hindmarch and Sainsbury's among the notable players in the European market for luxury and fabric handbags, and tote bags respectively.
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is the key factor driving the growth of the market. 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.
The rise in traffic accidents will fuel the growth of the market. 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 market during the forecast period.
The environmental impact of body bags is a major challenge to the growth of the market. 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 market during the forecast period and compel vendors to develop more environment-friendly materials for body bags.
