The Global Single-Use Surgical Gowns Market was estimated at USD 1,847.1 Mn in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD ~ 2,788.4 Mn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period.
Single-use surgical gowns serve as the first line of defense against disease transmission. These gowns repel infections and diseases while allowing for proper movement. They allow for sufficient mobility while preventing friction and chafing, as well as resist tearing and linting. Single-use surgical gowns are comfortable. These gowns are made to fit a variety of body shapes and sizes in a limited range of sizes.
The global population is growing at an alarming rate, putting a major strain on healthcare, with vulnerable groups of people being especially at risk. Overpopulation reduces quality of life and impacts other social and environmental issues. Overpopulation causes malnutrition, pollution, congested living conditions, and a lack of healthcare services, which increase the risk of infectious diseases in a community. The aging population is a concern, as older people require frequent care. However, this problem easily avoided if the necessary healthcare facilities and resources are available. According to the United Nations report, the world population is projected to reach 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and 10.4 billion by 2100. Therefore, the rising population across the globe is expected to increase the number of surgeries, which significantly influences the single-use surgical gown market.
Labor cost is a crucial factor in businesses and countries to compete. Labor costs, when applied to the manufacturing sector, serve as an indicator of the competitiveness of manufactured goods in global trade. Therefore, governments, social partners, researchers, and national and international institutions are interested in comparing labor costs between countries and industries. The high labor cost significantly affects the manufacturing of surgical gowns, as labor costs represent a substantial portion of hospital expenses, including medical supplies. In the US, labor expenses account for 35% of total hospital costs. Continued workforce shortages during a period of rising service demand put additional cost pressure on hospitals.
Rising surgical procedures across the globe increase the demand for single-use surgical gowns during the forecasted period. The need for surgical procedures is projected to rise in the coming years, with the growing population and rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of people undergo surgical treatment every year, and surgical interventions account for an estimated 13% of the total disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of the globe.
Hospital-acquired infections are commonly known as healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). These infections are typically acquired during hospitalization and manifest 48 hours after admission to the hospital. For instance, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in 31 hospitalized patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection on any given day. COVID-19, HAIs, and other infectious diseases cause harm to patients., health workers, and visitors if infection prevention and control (IPC) is not prioritized.
Improper disposal of single-use surgical gowns has adverse environmental and public health consequences. The disposal of surgical gowns, whether they are reusable or disposable, is a significant contributor to healthcare waste. The adverse environmental impact, due to improper disposal of surgical gowns is a growing concern. Thus, healthcare facilities are increasingly seeking eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives to minimize their environmental footprint. These factors are expected to hamper the single-use surgical gown market during the forecast period.
Rising demand for surgical gowns in emerging markets creates significant growth opportunities. The global surgical gown market is expected to expand considerably due to various factors such as the increasing number of surgeries, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and the growing awareness of infection control measures. The surgical gowns market is projected to register significant growth in the coming years, particularly in emerging markets, such as China, Brazil, and India, as healthcare facilities are heavily investing in protective attire to maintain a sterile environment and prevent cross-contamination during surgical procedures.

Based on type, the single-use surgical gowns market is segmented into reinforced and non-reinforced. The reinforced segment is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the high risk of contamination during surgeries. Reinforced surgical gowns are meant to provide increased safety and durability in high-risk medical environments, such as surgery and infectious disease management. These gowns comprise high-quality non-woven materials, such as SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond) fabric. They are reinforced in key zones, such as the chest and forearms, to provide better fluid and particulate matter barrier protection.
Based on material, the single-use surgical gowns market is divided into polypropylene, polyethylene, rayon, and others. The polypropylene segment is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising cases of major surgeries, such as bypass surgeries and hip-knee replacement surgeries. Polypropylene is a flexible synthetic material with outstanding fluid and particle matter resistance, making it appropriate for use in high-risk medical issues, such as surgical procedures and infectious disease management.
Based on sterility, the single-use surgical gowns market is bifurcated into sterile and non-sterile. The sterile segment is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the increase in the number of surgical cases. The necessity to protect both patients and healthcare professionals from the spread of germs, body fluids, and particulate matter during surgical procedures drives the demand for sterile surgical gowns.
Based on end-use, the global single-use surgical gowns market is divided into hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. The hospital segment is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising number of surgeries in hospitals.
Based on the distribution channel, the global single-use surgical gowns market is segmented into online and offline. The online segment is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, as online distribution offers various advantages such as cost savings, convenience, and access to a wide range of products. Moreover, the online distribution channel enables producers to lower the costs of products such as single-use surgical gowns.
Based on region, the global single-use surgical gowns market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa (MEA). The market in North America is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising number of surgeries across the region. For instance, according to a journal published in the National Library of Medicine, more than 64 million surgical procedures are performed each year in the US.
