Global Medical Nonwoven Disposable Market Size, Share and Trends Analysis Report, By Product (Incontinence Products, Wound Dressings, Surgical Products), By Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, and Other Distribution Channels), Forecast (2022-2028)

The global medical nonwoven disposable market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). The growth of the global medical nonwoven disposable market can be attributed to rapid advancements in nonwovens production technology. The increased emphasis on preventing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) contributes to the growth of the medical nonwoven disposables market. In hospitalized patients, HAIs are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, HAIs are now the fifth leading cause of death in acute care hospitals in the US. Surgical nonwoven products, on the other hand, are extremely effective in preventing HAIs. Moreover, surgical nonwovens include everything from surgical drapes and gowns to wound care dressings and adult incontinence products. As a result, all of these factors will significantly fuel market growth in the coming years.

Adults can lose their ability to control bladder incontinence or fecal incontinence due to injury, aging, disease, or other external factors. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the prevalence of urinary incontinence ranges from 9.9% to 36.1%, with older women being twice as likely as older men. This has an impact on older people’s quality of life, health, and need for care. As a result, the increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence is expected to drive growth in the incontinence products segment; which in turn will drive the global market. To cater the growing demand for medical nonwoven disposable; key players are adopting different market growth activities including new product launches, geographical expansion, and product innovation among others.

For instance, in March 2022, Kimberly-Clark announced the opening of a new facility in Ikorodu, Lagos, Nigeria, to manufacture Huggies baby diapers and Kotex feminine care products. To better serve its customers, the new $100 million state-of-the-art manufacturing plant is outfitted with enhanced technology and capabilities. The increased manufacturing capacity is expected to meet the region’s growing demand for high-quality, safe baby care and feminine products. The operations began in the fourth quarter of 2021.

In May 2019, Domtar announced the launch of an incontinence product in North America through its personal care division. The product has a dry containment core to provide patient comfort. Innovative product launches will assist the company in gaining a competitive advantage and thus increasing business revenue.
