Disposable Medical Supplies Quickly Replacing Multiuse Products at Hospitals

 Every day, one in 31 hospital patients contracts a hospital-acquired infection (HAI) in the U.S., which, in total, lead to 1.7 million cases and 99,000 deaths in the country each year, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This and the generally high levels of hygiene to be maintained at such places have been driving the demand for disposable medical supplies. Moreover, the COVID-19 situation has raised the general awareness on disposable products as a means to prevent infections.

Access Report Summary on Medical Disposables Market Global Industry Analysis and Demand Forecast to 2030

Due to the combined effect of these factors, the medical disposables market revenue, as claimed by P&S Intelligence, will increase to $90 billion by 2030 from $51 billion in 2020. Medical settings are rapidly adopting disposable medical supplies ranging from surgical gloves and syringes to vital signs monitor electrodes and even the consumables used to sterilize medical products. The idea is since they are used only on one patient and then discarded, the chances of them accumulating pathogens from one patient and spreading them to another healthy one are extremely few.

One of the most-significant factors in this regard is age, which makes people vulnerable to diseases and injuries of all types. For instance, the American Heart Association (AHA) estimates the cardiovascular disease incidence in the U.S. at around 40%, 75%, and 86% for the age groups of 40–59, 60–79, and above 80, respectively. Thus, with the United Nations (UN) predicting the population in the age group of 65 and above to rise from 727 million in 2019 to 1.5 billion in 2050, a lot more hospitalizations are in the offing, which would definitely boost the demand for all types of medical supplies imaginable.

Presently, North America is the largest medical disposables market because of its advanced healthcare industry and high number of medical facilities. In addition, the medical reimbursement scenario here is rather favorable, which allows people to easily afford expensive care. Further, the COVID-19 situation is quite grave in the region, the U.S. being the country with the highest case and mortality counts, which has catapulted the demand for disposable medical supplies.

Hence, with the rising number of hospitalizations and medical examinations amid the growing awareness on hospital hygiene and HAIs, the demand for disposable medical supplies will continue to surge.

As per P&S Intelligence, the growing chronic disease incidence will drive the label-free detection technology market from $1,197.5 million in 2019 to $3,097.4 million by 2030, at a 9.0% CAGR between 2020 and 2030. During drug discovery, the tissue or cell on which the effect of an investigational drug is to be tested is attached to a label, or tag, which helps in detecting the activity of the drug on it. The label-free detection technology eliminates the requirement for labeling, instead, using the size, molecular weight, electrical impedance, charge, refractive index, and dielectric permittivity of the drug in the tissue.

For all such purposes, a range of technologies are used, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), mass spectrometry, microplates/reader-based technology, bio-layer interferometry (BLI), and calorimetry. Among these, mass spectrometry is used the most widely, on account of its preference among researchers to ascertain the structural characteristics of the bound proteins and derive information about molecules. In the coming years, the usage of SPR will rise rapidly, as it is cost-effective and reproducible, requires minimal sample volumes, and uses a continuous flow mechanism.

Hence, as the demand for novel drugs to combat chronic diseases and keep the mortality count low increases, so will the requirement for the instruments and consumables used for label-free detection.
