Description

World Medical Disposables

Worldwide demand for medical disposables is forecast to grow to $273 billion in 2020, an increase of 6.2 percent annually.    Underlying population growth in middle-aged and elderly individuals, growth in real gross domestic product, and escalating health expenditures will contribute to the expansion of the global medical disposable market.

US Remains Largest Medical Disposable Consumer Long-Term

High health care spending levels, strict infection prevention regulations, and superior pricing flexibility will ensure that the US retains its status as the top worldwide market for medical disposable products.  China accounts for the second largest share and the most rapid rise in overall demand for these items, though imbalanced access to healthcare amongst the population will somewhat moderate growth.

Health Expenditures will Accelerate as Populations Age

Worldwide, total health expenditures are projected to expand to $13.3 trillion in 2020.  Growth will be positively impacted by an aging population and epidemiological patterns that will spur general demand for patient care.  Additionally, expanded access to public and private health insurance will speed revenue growth in many countries.

Surgical Instruments Account for the Largest Individual Share of Product Sales

Demand for surgical instruments is forecast to rise nearly six percent in 2020, mainly attributable to trends in demographics and epidemiology.  However, advances in minimally invasive techniques will reduce the supply requirements for many surgical procedures and moderate growth.
