For instance, as of May 2023, a report from the American Hospital Association (AHA), a healthcare trade organization in the US representing hospitals and healthcare networks, indicated an increase in the total number of hospitals to 6,129, compared to 6,093 in 2022.

As per data from the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 7 out of every 100 hospitalized patients in developed countries and 10 out of 100 in developing countries acquire at least one healthcare-associated infection. This alarming statistic is projected to drive the demand for hospital supplies, consequently boosting the market during the forecast period.
