Used to prevent infection and maintain hygiene, medical nonwovens encompass everything from surgical drapes and gowns to woundcare dressings and adult incontinence items and are positioned for significant growth in the upcoming years.
According to a recent report from Allied Market Research, Portland, OR, the global medical nonwoven disposables market is projected to record a 9.6% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) during the 2015-2020 time period and will reach $10.6 billion globally by 2020.
The report says surgical nonwoven products had a 54.8% marketshare last year and would continue to lead the market through 2020. Incontinence products will have the fastest growth during 2015-2020 due to the rise in the aging population, as well as personal hygiene awareness and increase in per capita healthcare spending.
Among other findings in the report are that the increasing occurrence of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) would contribute to the growth of the nonwoven disposables market. Other growth drivers include stringent regulations for hygiene and the increase in the number of people with incontinence.
