MEDICAL SHOE COVERS MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2024-2031)

The global medical shoe covers market has been gaining traction over the recent years, driven by the growing awareness about hygiene and infection control in the healthcare settings. Medical shoe covers, also known as booties, are disposable shoe coverings worn by doctors, nurses and other medical staff to prevent cross-contamination. They act as a barrier between the shoes and the floor or surfaces, thus helping reduce the transmission of germs, bacteria, and viruses. With the heightened focus on patient safety and risks of hospital-acquired infections, healthcare facilities worldwide have been implementing stringent hygiene protocols, bolstering the adoption of medical shoe covers. Moreover, growing geriatric population susceptible to infections and surgeries, along with rising number of surgical procedures performed are further augmenting the demand for medical shoe covers.

Market Dynamics:

Rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) has been a major driver propelling the medical shoe covers market. HAIs contaminate approximately 1.7 million patients each year in the US, leading to around 99,000 associated deaths, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Thus, medical facilities are strengthening adherence to hygiene and infection control practices to curtail the risks of HAIs. This is positively impacting the adoption of medical shoe covers which are critical for containing infections. However, unstable raw material prices owing to supply chain disruptions may hinder the market progression. On the flip side, growing healthcare expenditures is opening new opportunities. Initiatives towards digitalization of healthcare systems with real-time tracking of inventory is gaining significance for efficient stock management.
