Global Healthcare Fabrics Market Trends:

Rise in demand for non-woven fabrics is a recent trend

Non-woven fabrics are often used in medical or surgical gowns, masks, and drapes. These fabrics have good heat setting property, high wet strength, excellent elasticity, good drape characteristics, and more. Non-woven fabrics also retain their physical properties in wet conditions and resistant to humidity changes. They are majorly preferred in the healthcare industry owing to their softness, comfort, strength, stretch ability, high absorbing ability of liquids, and cost. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, driving the market growth.

Increase in research and development is another trend

Knitting technology has been gaining popularity over the years owing to the ongoing research and development activities to manufacture high-tech medical textiles for making cell scaffolds in tissue engineering applications. Knitted fabrics are used in high-tech medical textiles, such as artificial blood vessels, hernia patches, cardiac support systems, knitted medical expandable metallic stents, and tendon scaffolds, though they make up a small part of the medical textiles. This trend is also expected to continue over the forecast period.
