The healthcare personal protective equipment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $23.04 billion in 2023 to $25.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for healthcare personal protective equipment, a rise in the number of surgeries performed, a growing acknowledgment of the significance of ensuring healthcare worker safety, and a heightened awareness regarding the risks associated with occupational exposure within healthcare settings. These elements collectively contributed to the growth and utilization of personal protective equipment in the healthcare industry during that time.
The healthcare personal protective equipment market size is expected to see rapidly grown in the next few years. It will grow to $41.54 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by several factors, including the persistent threat of infectious diseases, an aging population requiring increased healthcare measures, the impacts of climate change affecting health, global initiatives emphasizing health security, and the continued integration of telehealth and remote care solutions.
The upward trajectory of infectious diseases is anticipated to be a driving force behind the expansion of the healthcare personal protective equipment (PPE) market. Infectious diseases caused by various microorganisms disrupt normal bodily functions, emphasizing the critical need for PPE in preventing their spread. Proper utilization of this equipment significantly reduces exposure and contamination risks, safeguarding healthcare workers and patients. For instance, in August 2023, data from the Government Digital Service revealed a 6.8% increase in tuberculosis notifications, totaling 4,425 individuals in 2021, accentuating the growing necessity for PPE to counter rising infectious diseases.
The proliferation of healthcare settings is poised to fuel the growth of the healthcare personal protective equipment market. These settings encompass a wide array of facilities, from acute care hospitals to nursing homes, offering comprehensive healthcare services. PPE serves as a vital defense mechanism in these environments, mitigating pathogen transmission risks and ensuring the safety of healthcare personnel during patient care. For example, the American Hospital Association reported a substantial increase in the number of hospitals in the U.S. from 6,093 in 2022 to 60,129 in 2023, accompanied by a rise in community hospital admissions from 31,393,318 to 31,967,073 in the same period. This surge underscores the escalating demand for PPE in diverse healthcare settings.
Key players in the healthcare personal protective equipment sector are directing their efforts toward innovating smart PPE to gain a competitive edge. Smart PPE integrates advanced technologies to enhance safety and monitoring capabilities. Gales Inc., in June 2021, introduced Smart PPE Footwear tailored for healthcare workers, featuring built-in antimicrobial protection on the shoe's exterior to combat bacteria and fungi growth. Waterproof and easy to clean, these shoes offer an additional layer of protection for healthcare professionals.
Major companies in the healthcare personal protective equipment sphere are focusing on the development of single-use gloves. These disposable, sterile gloves made of latex or nitrile serve as a barrier device for hand protection during medical procedures. For instance, Globus Group's launch in May 2022 introduced an ultimate single-use glove range designed for maximum hand protection, ensuring a secure fit and staying in place during use, catering to the industry and healthcare sectors' needs.
In August 2023, Harps Global PTE. Ltd., a Singapore-based producer of medical gloves, completed the acquisition of the medical business division of Semperit AG Holding for $120 million.
