Increasing number of surgeries

The global surgical drapes and gowns market has been witnessing significant growth in recent years driven by the rising number of surgical procedures performed worldwide. With the growing geriatric population and increasing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle diseases, there has been a substantial increase in the demand for various types of surgeries such as cardiac, orthopedic, neurological, etc. According to data from the World Health Organization, approximately 312 million major surgical procedures were performed globally in 2020. This number is estimated to grow over 15% by 2023. The growing disease burden and improving access to healthcare are some of the key factors contributing to this rise in surgical volumes. For instance, cardiovascular diseases which often require surgical interventions such as cardiac bypass, heart valve replacement, etc. are reported to be the leading cause of death globally by the WHO. It is projected that by 2030, over 23 million cardiovascular procedures will be performed annually worldwide. This steady increase in surgical caseloads has led to a proportional rise in the utilization of surgical drapes and gowns across hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. Surgical drapes are used to cover patients and surgical instruments in the operating room to maintain sterility and prevent contamination during procedures. Similarly, surgical gowns are worn as personal protective equipment by surgeons and clinical staff involved in operations to avoid transmission of infections. With more procedures being carried out, the demand for these essential disposable products from the operating room has witnessed significant growth over the past few years.
