Why demand for disposable medical products rise in 2018 and beyond?

“The year 2018 and the upcoming years will see a huge rise in demand for disposable medical products”, latest research reports suggest.

Disposable devices are essential components in most of the medical, dental and veterinary activities which are discarded after their usage.

Why this surge in demand for medical products?

Emphasis on infection prevention and safety measures by hospitals and outpatient facilities have fuelled the utilisation of these devices. In addition, increasing emphasis of the government and health institutes on the public health and related hospital acquired infections propels the adoption and usage of disposable medical devices in the healthcare space.

The upgrading and enforcement of infection prevention standards, coupled with an expanding volume of hospital, surgical, and outpatient procedures, will promote overall growth in the disposable product market.

Which are the countries in high demand for disposable medical products?

The demand for disposable medical supplies and products are high in countries like UK, USA, China, Japan, Germany, Russia, France, India, Italy and Brazil. This growth is expected to increase about 6% each year over the next several years.

Demand for disposable medical supplies in the United States, Western Europe, Japan, and most other developed countries will expand at a below average pace as their medical delivery systems are well established, meet the health care needs of most residents, and have already adopted stringent infection prevention standards.

By contrast, growth in the BRIC countries and many other emerging economies will exceed the world average as health care sectors are expanded, modernised and adapted to formal infection prevention protocols.

Which are the Dental products in high demand?

Among the major disposable dental & medical supply product segments, Disposable A/W Syringe will post the fastest increases in global demand based on an expanding prevalence of infection control to ensure that they will not become the means by which infectious diseases are transmitted.

Other segments projected to command above average worldwide sales growth include diagnostic and laboratory disposables such as Disposable Dental Mirrors, Disposable Bib Holders, Disposable Nasal Hoods, respiratory supplies and devices, and infusion and hypodermic devices.

While other dental products such as Disposable Protective Wear / Gloves, Plastic Cups, Consumables, Sterilization & Hygiene, X-ray & Accessories, Impression Materials, Filling Materials, Polishing Materials, Endodontics, Local Anaesthetics & Pharmaceuticals and Surgical Products are also in high demand in medical dental industry.

Advantages of Dental Care Disposables 

• Disposable dental products help you save time. The time you need to spend sterilizing your instruments is the time that you can spend with your patients instead.
• The disposable nature of these dental products lets you simply throw things away when you’re done with them.

New developments in this field such as materials with non-leaching antimicrobials and emergence of novel microbial-growth inhibitors are estimated to further expand the market scope for disposables. If current trends hold, healthcare spending is expected to double in the coming years.
