Key growth enablers of the global hospital gowns market are:

• Increase in the prevalence of healthcare-associated infections
• Growing number of surgeries
  • Hospital gowns can assist in the protection against infections to an extent, so healthcare professionals recommend that patients use patient gowns.
  • For instance, globally, about 310 million surgeries (major) are carried out annually, according to the article ‘Trauma of Major Surgery,’ published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in July 2020.
  • Also, updates from the World Health Organization (WHO) from June 2021 show that the use of cesarean sections is increasing internationally and now accounts for more than one in five (21%) births.
  • Also, many nations are seeing increased surgical procedures due to the burden of non-communicable diseases and injuries. For instance, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in 2020, Denmark did 54,836 laparoscopic cholecystectomy treatments, whereas Costa Rica had 30,031 courses. All such factors are expected to supplement the market growth during the forecast period.
• Government policies for the safety and hygiene of patients

Key growth restraining factors are:

• Stringent production standards for hospital gowns
• Product recalls and failures
• Adoption of robotic surgeries
  • The development of robotic surgery has greatly reduced the amount of labor required. Also, it offers surgeons a substitute for traditional procedures, including open surgery and conventional laparoscopy.
  • Surgical robots are transforming operating rooms. The number of support staff needed during surgery has decreased due to using robots. These robots may be remotely controlled by doctors using a console. Due to this, operating on the patient no longer requires using sterile gowns.
  • Also, the evolution of robotic surgeries has resulted in fewer hospital stays, limiting the requirement for hospital gowns. Hence, all such factors are expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

Global Hospital Gowns Market | Top Trends

• Emergence of smart hospital gowns
  • Wearable technology has become more widely used by healthcare personnel in recent years to enhance patient outcomes, reduce waste, and boost productivity. Vital signs must be continuously gathered and monitored to properly treat critical care patients. The concept of a smart sensing and computing fabric for the hospital gown comes to overcome this issue. The patient’s breathing rate, temperature, sweating, pulse rate, and other critical data are all collected by the Smart Hospital Gown’s one or more compute units and myriad sensors. Without needing additional external wires, sensors, or monitors to be attached to the patient, the patient can put on the gown.
• Rise in the geriatric population across the globe
  • The population of older adults across the globe is prone to chronic diseases, which will influence the demand for hospital gowns. Population aging is a global phenomenon. Almost every nation globally is seeing increases in the population and the percentage of elderly people. For instance, according to the United Nations World Population Ageing 2019 report, in 2019, 703 million people worldwide were 65 or older. In 2050, this figure is anticipated to increase to 1.5 billion. This would increase the demand for hospital gowns across the globe.
• Increasing prevalence of different diseases
  • The increase in the prevalence of different diseases across the globe is one of the major factors expected to supplement the growth of the global hospital gowns market during the forecast period. There has been an increase in the prevalence of different diseases across the globe, which is expected to increase hospital admissions, hence spurring the demand for hospital gowns.

Market Segmentation – Type, Usability, Protection Level, and End-User –

Market by Type:

• Surgical Gowns
  • Surgical gowns are expected to dominate the market by type during the forecast period. In order to protect themselves from the spread of germs, bodily fluids, and other objects during surgical procedures, medical workers often wear surgical gowns.
