The medical scrubs market was valued at $48.3 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $85.8 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024 to 2033.
Medical scrub is a sanitary garment designed to be worn by healthcare professionals while engaging in patient care. These scrubs are meant to provide adequate protection against bodily fluids, thus playing a critical role in infection control. They are made of high-quality fabric that is inexpensive and can endure the most thorough cleaning process.
The growth of the medical scrubs market is majorly driven by surge in demand for medical scrubs to prevent cross-contamination. Infection control and prevention are the paramount aspects in the healthcare settings, which are fostering the need for antimicrobial and hygienic medical scrubs. Thus, manufacturers are focusing on meeting the requirement of healthcare professionals and are developing scrubs with performance-enhancing features. For instance, these scrubs exhibit properties such as high elasticity, moisture resistance, and microbial resistance. Furthermore, surge in the number of medical students and professionals entering the workforce fuels demand for medical scrubs. According to the June 2022 estimates of World Health Organization, around 1.36 million students enrolled in medical school around the world. However, implementation of stringent regulations regarding fabric safety and antimicrobial effectiveness incur high production costs, which restricts the market growth. In addition, disposable of healthcare waste is one of major concerns, which inhibit the market growth. Medical scrubs cannot be reused as they carry bodily fluids, which might increase the risk of infections to both the wearer and the patients, hence disposing them is the only way to prevent infections. On the contrary, increase in sustainable practices in healthcare settings has led to a significant shift toward the production of eco-friendly scrubs made from sustainable materials like organic cotton and recycled polyester, which is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period. Furthermore, increase in demand for modern scrubs that not only incorporate trendy designs but also enhance performance is expected to open new avenues for the market growth.
