Disposable/single use patient drapes offer greater advantages in terms of sterility and to maintain a clean environment in the operating rooms. The disposable patient surgical drapes also offer high fluid and moisture retention capabilities compared to reusable surgical drapes.

Macro-economic Factors

Rising GDP of Emerging Economies

GDP growth rate of a country, the overall economic growth, and stability of countries significantly impact the single-use surgical drapes market across the globe. High GDP growth rates lead to increased healthcare spending, including investments in hospital infrastructure, medical devices, and other surgical supplies. Rising GDP of emerging economies allows the government to initiate and implement the use of single use surgical drapes during surgeries over reusable drapes.

Growth in Healthcare Industry

The healthcare industry is set to grow strongly in the coming years with the rising population and adding new hospitals, clinics, and health centers. The demand for healthcare services globally has increased rapidly in the recent years, due to the high prevalence of chronic and non-communicable diseases.

Growth in healthcare industry allows the hospitals and surgical centers to practice hygienic practices and this would promote the use of disposable surgical drapes to build a sterile and clean environment during surgeries.

Single Use Surgical Drapes Market Dynamics

Market Driver- Rising Number of Surgeries

Rising number of surgeries and increasing emphasis on patient and surgeon safety are propelling the need for efficient medical products, including surgical drapes. Surgical procedures are medical interventions performed in an operating room.

Surgical procedures often require disposable and sterile surgical drapes. These drapes meet the rigorous demands of orthopedic surgery, from hand procedures to hip and knee replacements. Thus, the increasing number of surgical and diagnostic procedures is expected to drive the market.

Market Driver- Stringent Regulations Related to Healthcare-associated Infections (HAIs)

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major concern in healthcare facilities. It is primarily responsible for mortality and morbidity among a huge proportion of the global population. Surgical site infections (SSIs) are commonly occurring HAIs that are caused during surgical operations by exposure to instruments or materials.

Hospitals have stringent measures to prevent infections. Most hospitals across the globe are following hospital infection control policies monitored by the hospital infection control team (HICT) and hospital infection control committee (HICC).

Market Restraint- Availability of Substitute

Single-use surgical drapes are commonly used for surgical procedures; however, the availability of substitute patient drapes such as reusable drapes is expected to restrain the market. Reusable drapes provide several advantages, including low waste production, reducing the need for raw materials, and lowered carbon emissions. These drapes are made of a woven material and are laundered and sterilized during the procedure.

Reusable gowns and drapes tolerate numerous washes and sterilization cycles without losing performance. Thus, the availability of reusable drapes as a substitute for disposable drapes is expected to hinder the market during the forecast period.

Market Opportunity- Advancements in Medical Nonwovens

Nonwoven materials reduce instances of infection and possibilities of cross-contamination as compared to reusable materials. Advancements in technology led to improved barrier properties in disposable drapes. These drapes offer superior protection against contaminants, helping maintain a sterile environment in healthcare settings.

The Ahlstrom-Munksjö, a sustainable specialty materials manufacturer, offers its next-generation non-woven Breathable Viral Barrier (BVB) surgical fabric, namely, ViroSel. It is a tri-laminate fabric consisting of a spunmelt outer layer and a breathable monolithic inner layer.
