Surgical Gowns Market Size & Trends
The global surgical gowns market size was estimated at USD 1.65 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.59% from 2025 to 2030. The demand for surgical gown products is rising owing to the growing number of surgical cases and the increasing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections. According to the data published in Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health in February2025, the annual burden of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in developed countries suggests that 4 million patients are affected. In addition, the data published in the Infectious Medicine journal in June 2024 reports that, on average, 7%-10% of patients acquire at least one HAI during their hospital stay, with nearly 10% of these cases resulting in mortality and 6% dying directly from HAIs. Such a high burden of HAIs globally is anticipated to drive the demand for surgical gowns in the coming years.
The growing number of surgical procedures is expected to increase the demand for surgical gowns significantly. These gowns protect healthcare personnel and patients during surgeries by acting as a barrier against contamination from bodily fluids, pathogens, and microorganisms. The demand for surgical procedures is especially rising in low- and middle-income countries. According to data published in the BMC Surgery journal in 2025, approximately 313 million surgical procedures are performed globally each year, but only 6% of these surgeries take place in the poorest countries, despite these regions being home to over a third of the world's population. In low- and middle-income countries, 98% of individuals with surgical conditions do not have access to timely, safe, and affordable surgical and anesthesia care. These regions require an additional 143 million surgeries annually to save lives and prevent disabilities.
Furthermore, the rising demand for cosmetic surgeries, fueled by the desire to preserve or enhance aesthetic appearance, is projected to drive the demand for surgical gowns in the upcoming years. According to the 2023 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there was a 5% increase in overall cosmetic procedures from 2022 to 2023.
Surgical gowns act as a barrier to prevent the transmission of infections, ensuring a sterile environment during procedures. As the frequency of surgeries rises, the need for high-quality, reliable protective garments will become even more crucial in maintaining patient safety and infection control standards in healthcare settings.
