Medical Specialty Bags Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The increasing number of surgical, dialysis, and blood transfusion procedures are notably driving the market growth, although factors such as intense competition among vendors leading to pricing pressure 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.
Key Medical Specialty Bags Market Driver
The increasing number of surgical, dialysis, and blood transfusion procedures are notably driving market growth. The increase in the number of surgeries implies the growing use of different medical specialty bags to aid in various surgical procedures. People undergoing surgeries often require blood transfusions when a lot of blood is lost during surgical procedures. Transfusions are mostly required in cardiovascular surgeries, massive trauma surgeries, transplant surgeries, and therapies for solid and hematological malignancies. Cardiac surgeries commonly account for about 15% of blood transfusions, on average. Globally, over 790,000 CABG surgeries are performed annually. This high prevalence of surgeries requiring blood transfusions leads to increasing demand for blood bags.
Furthermore, general anesthesia is typically used for a range of operations, especially for major operations on the heart and joints and laparoscopic operations on the abdomen. It is also essential for most operations on the brain or major arteries and some lung surgeries, which will fuel the demand for anesthesia and resuscitation bags, which in turn drives the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Significant Medical Specialty Bags Market Trend
The increasing marketing strategies of vendors are major trends in the market. Major vendors in the market are increasingly adopting innovative marketing strategies to increase their market penetration. They are also increasing their product portfolio and having strategic collaborations and partnerships with healthcare professionals and GPOs to increase their market penetration and the scope of cross-selling their products.
For example, ConvaTec Group Plc continues strengthening the relationships with ostomy caregivers in hospitals to increase the familiarity of its products and provide them with the necessary tools for simple, easy, and accessible ostomy care. The company is focused on expanding direct-to-consumer programs for frequent and direct engagement with ostomates. This helps in developing strong and long-term customer relationships. Additionally, the company also reports that it is implementing changes to its commercial approach, including flattening the organizational structure to get closer to customers, improving segmentation, and revising sales incentive programs to address the underperformance in the US. Therefore, such growth strategies of established vendors will accelerate the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Major Medical Specialty Bags Market Challenge
Intense competition among vendors leads to pricing pressure which is a major challenge impeding market growth. The global market is highly fragmented, with the presence of several regional and global vendors. Leading vendors that have the required financial, technical, and marketing resources offer a broad range of products in a large geographical area with strong distribution channels and make significant investments in R&D. Hence, established vendors compete in terms of quality, reliability, and pricing. On the contrary, small and medium-sized regional vendors give intense competition to global vendors by offering similar products at lower prices.
Furthermore, due to the increasing pressure on national healthcare budgets, the pressure to reduce prices for most medical devices, accessories, and consumables has significantly increased. This also has led to an increasing need for vendors to document the efficacy of their products to justify the pricing points. As a result of these factors, there is huge pricing pressure on the manufacturers. Thus, owing to such factors the market's growth is expected to be hampered during the forecast period.

The hospitals segment was valued at USD 2,539.69 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The rise in the number of surgeries and inpatients with critical diseases is propelling the demand for various medical specialty bags, including anesthesia and resuscitation bags, blood bags, ostomy bags, and IV fluid bags. Furthermore, a significant proportion of patients with severe diseases increasingly prefer to receive treatments in hospitals, as they employ a large number of skilled clinicians and have access to advanced medical equipment. Moreover, there are many hospitals and multispecialty hospitals that work under government sponsorship or through private entities. The multispecialty hospitals have a capacity of 500 beds and engage closely with many suppliers to procure therapeutic devices and medicinal supplies in bulk. Additionally, many reimbursement authorities and government organizations tie up with the hospitals to help the patients. Thus, the hospital segment is likely to grow during the forecast period.

Asia is estimated to contribute 39% 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 market in Asia is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period due to the presence of a large patient pool, the growth of the aging population, and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. Furthermore, rising healthcare expenditure, increasing disposable incomes, expansion of the middle-class population, and the high number of surgeries due to the growth of medical tourism also drive the growth of the market in the region. China, Japan, and India are the major contributors to revenue to the market in Asia. The vendors here are investing in R&D entering into strategic partnerships and alliances to develop innovative products to address the need for high-quality healthcare. They are also expanding their manufacturing facilities in Asia due to the low cost and the potential for growth.
Additionally, the high unmet need for quality healthcare, the growth in medical tourism for surgeries in countries such as Thailand and India, and the increasing focus of the vendors on expanding their reach in the untapped markets of Asia are also expected to drive the growth of the market in the region during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic drove the sales of medical specialty bags due to a spike in diagnostic antigen treatment for patients with COVID-19, as well as the increase in demand from vaccine developers in 2020-2021. The pandemic, therefore, had a positive impact on the market. Leading market companies were compelled to reconsider their manufacturing capacity, focus on new product development, and seek out the best supply chain strategies to deal with COVID-19-related exigencies due to a shift in the demand for medical specialty bags. However, the increased demand for medical specialty bags is expected to decline as the pandemic was gradually brought under control in 2022. Thus, the market in Asia is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period.
