Disposable medical supplies are medical consumables that are only intended for one-time use. The primary motive for disposable medical supplies is to prevent the spread of infections across hospital settings. In addition, these supplies ensure high quality of operating and diagnosis rooms as well as to maintain hygienic environment across hospital settings. Consumables also aid in reducing the cost associated with the initial startup program expenses.
Moreover, the increasing preference of disposable supplies over traditional instruments and devices is expected to supplement the market growth. The favorable government regulations for disposable medical supplies and mandatory use of these devices during many surgical and diagnostic procedures may further boost growth.
However, disposable medical devices require a careful balance between performance, cost, materials, reliability, and shelf life. Hence, plastics are generally used in the manufacturing of disposables as they are relatively inexpensive and many types of plastics are available. For instance, syringes must undergo extreme pressure and polycarbonates are used due of their strength. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) can also be used because of its flexibility. Therefore, manufacturers are focusing on bulk production of these devices to meet the unmet demand across the medical settings. The ease in availability of these materials further augments the market growth.
Furthermore, emerging countries such as India, China, Brazil, and others are gaining importance for majority of the disposable medical supplies, as they are focusing towards unmet demand for disposable hospital supplies and devices in these countries. Hence, many companies have started introducing technologically advanced products to cater the needs of the growing population, especially in developing economies.
