NORTH AMERICA HOSPITAL GOWNS MARKET FORECAST 2023-2032

The North America hospital gowns market growth analysis includes an in-depth study of Canada and the United States. The growth of the hospital gowns market in the United States is expected to be driven by an increase in the prevalence of hospital-acquired infections and the rising number of surgeries during the forecast period. 

According to recent data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there has been a surge in the occurrence of certain healthcare-acquired infections, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), and ventilator-associated events (VAEs). The data revealed a year-over-year increase of 14%, 5%, 7%, and 12% in the prevalence of these infections in 2021. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention further reported that in the United States, one in 31 patients and one in 43 nursing home residents develop at least one infection per day, highlighting the need for improved patient care procedures in American healthcare facilities. Although significant progress has been made, the agency emphasized the need for continued efforts to prevent healthcare-associated illnesses across various contexts.
