South Africa Hospital Supplies Market by Types (Patient Examination Devices, Operating Room Equipment, Mobility Aids and Transportation Equipment, Sterilization and Disinfectant Equipment, Disposable Hospital Supplies, Syringes and Needles, and Other Types), End-users (Public Health Sector and Private Health Sector), and Country - Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028.
The South Africa hospital supplies market is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rising geriatric population in the country.
Hospital supplies include any medical utility product that provides both the patient and the medical professional with hospital infrastructure and helps to improve the network, such as transportation between hospitals. Hospital equipment, patient aid and mobility equipment, and sterilization disposables are few types of hospital supplies.
South Africa's healthcare system is divided into two systems. With state funding, the public healthcare system serves approximately 85% of the population, which accounts for roughly 48% of total healthcare expenditure, around 9% of GDP. On the other hand, private healthcare serves 15% of the population that can afford medical insurance. Both sectors provide a range of services from primary to specialized healthcare, but the private sector is expected to provide advanced, high-tech products, and elective procedures.
The National Health Insurance Scheme in South Africa is a step toward universal healthcare (NHI). The government is anticipated to become the primary procurer of health goods and services through NHI while investing in the public healthcare system to improve infrastructure and access. NHI is expected to begin phased implementation by 2026, but this is subject to funding and political will, among other constraints.

South Africa Hospital Supplies Market Segment Insights
Sterilization and disinfectant equipment to hold a major market share
Based on types, the market is segregated into patient examination devices, operating room equipment, mobility aids and transportation equipment, sterilization and disinfectant equipment, disposable hospital supplies, syringes and needles, and other types. Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are critical processes for any hospital and its patients. Hospital supplies are expensive as they are used to keep equipment clean. For instance, it helps in preventing health-care-associated infections (HAIs).
Acinetobacter, a group of bacteria, causes high percentage of infections. Chemical companies warn hospitals and authorities about these bacteria, assisting them in eliminating the infections. The Department of Health in South Africa revised the Guidelines for the Prevention and Containment of Antimicrobial Resistance in South African Hospitals in 2019. The COVID-19 outbreak has mandated sterilization in every country in order to eradicate the virus's spread, including South Africa. High prevalence of various diseases and infections in the country is anticipated to aid the segment to grow significantly during the forecast period.
Public healthcare sector segment is anticipated to expand at a substantial CAGR
On the basis of end-users, the South Africa hospital supplies market is bifurcated into public health sector and private health sector. The public healthcare is the largest purchaser of healthcare equipment and supplies, particularly in primary care. NIH issues tenders for national supply, but purchasing is devolved to each of the nine provinces, which then publish their own tender notices. Severe funding constraints has made it difficult to maintain or purchase equipment for public hospitals.
The private sector segment is expected to offer opportunities for advanced technology and equipment. The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority register and evaluate all healthcare-related products (SAHPRA). SAHPRA requires licenses for all entities involved in the manufacturing, distribution, import, and export of healthcare products. Only authorized representatives based in South Africa can apply to SAHPRA for product registration.
