The global surgical helmet market size is anticipated to reach USD 104.57 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.77% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising volume of surgical procedures globally, including joint replacement and orthopedic surgeries where surgical helmets are commonly used, contributes to the market's growth.
The market growth is primarily driven by the rising focus on infection control within healthcare facilities. Infection prevention has become a top priority due to the high risks of surgical site infections, which pose significant challenges to patient safety and healthcare costs. Surgical helmets and surgical helmet systems serve as a physical barrier that protects healthcare personnel and patients from airborne contaminants, reducing the chances of cross-contamination during procedures. This demand is further increased by the increasing frequency of complex surgeries, such as orthopedic and neurological surgeries, where infection prevention is critical.
An aging global population is another key driver, as it leads to a higher incidence of chronic diseases requiring surgeries. The global proportion of people aged 65 and over nearly doubled between 1974 and 2024, rising from 5.5% to 10.3%. United Nations population projections indicate that this figure is expected to double by 2074, reaching 20.7%. Conditions such as arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders increase the need for surgeries, thereby fueling the demand for surgical helmets to maintain a sterile environment. In addition, the rise in elective surgeries across emerging economies, supported by improved healthcare infrastructure and greater access to insurance coverage, also contributes to market growth.
Regulatory bodies such as the CDC and WHO emphasize strict infection control guidelines, which has pushed hospitals to adopt advanced personal protective equipment, including surgical helmets and surgical helmet systems, to ensure compliance. The increasing awareness of occupational safety among healthcare workers also bolsters demand, as surgical helmets help protect staff from fluid splashes and airborne particles, ensuring their safety during prolonged and intensive procedures.
The lack of awareness about surgical helmets andsurgical helmet systems in certain regions limits market expansion. In facilities where infection control practices are not strictly enforced, or staff needs to be fully informed about the protective benefits of surgical helmets, adoption rates tend to be lower.
