Healthcare consumables are medical products and supplies that are used once or for a short period before being disposed of. These items are essential for various medical procedures and patient care, including syringes, gloves, bandages, masks, wound dressings, catheters, and diagnostic test kits. They play a vital role in maintaining hygiene, preventing infections, and ensuring effective medical care.
The primary types of healthcare consumables include wound care consumables, diagnostic consumables, respiratory supplies, drug delivery products, dialysis consumables, sterilization consumables, incontinence products, hand sanitizers, and others. Wound care consumables, for example, are disposable products used for managing and treating wounds, such as dressings, bandages, and antiseptic solutions. These consumables are made from materials like rubber, non-woven fabrics, glass, metals, plastic resins, and paper. They are used by a range of end-users, including hospitals, specialty clinics, and other healthcare facilities.

The healthcare consumables market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $281.63 billion in 2023 to $311.30 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, rising demand for preventive healthcare and routine check-ups, a growing prevalence of chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular conditions, an expanding elderly population with greater healthcare needs, the expansion of healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets, and an increasing focus on home-based and remote healthcare solutions.
The healthcare consumables market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $466.65 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, the increasing integration of smart technologies into healthcare consumables, rising investments in healthcare research and development, growing adoption of digital health solutions and telemedicine, expanded healthcare access in developing regions, and a rise in the use of AI and automation in healthcare processes. Major trends expected to influence this period include a growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable healthcare products, the expansion of personalized healthcare and customized consumables, a heightened focus on preventive healthcare and wellness products, advancements in healthcare technology and disposable medical devices, and innovations in healthcare consumable products.
The growth of the healthcare consumables market is expected to be driven by the increasing number of hospital admissions. This rise in admissions is due to factors such as an aging population, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and advancements in medical technology. Healthcare consumables, including gloves, syringes, bandages, and surgical instruments, are essential for patient care and medical procedures during hospital admissions. For example, the National Health Service (NHS) reported in September 2023 that England had 16.4 million finished admission episodes (FAEs), a 2.6% increase from 2021-22, highlighting the higher demand for consumables needed for patient care. Consequently, the growth in hospital admissions is fueling the expansion of the healthcare consumables market.
Leading companies in the healthcare consumables market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as biodegradable consumables, to gain a competitive edge. Biodegradable products are designed to decompose naturally through biological processes, such as microbial activity, reducing environmental impact and waste. This approach aims to minimize pollution and promote sustainability by ensuring that products break down into non-toxic substances. For instance, in April 2022, Unigloves, a UK-based company specializing in healthcare consumables, introduced a new line of biodegradable nitrile gloves. These gloves offer a lower environmental footprint, enhanced durability, and better grip compared to traditional nitrile gloves and decompose in industrial composting facilities within 12 months, unlike standard gloves that can persist for decades.
In February 2023, Ansell Limited, an Australia-based manufacturer of personal protection equipment, acquired a 50% stake in Careplus (M) Sdn Bhd for $9 million. This acquisition is intended to enhance value through new product development, capacity expansion, and improved manufacturing efficiency, aligning with Ansell's objective to strengthen control over its supply chain. Careplus (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Malaysia, specializes in healthcare consumables.
