Hospital Gowns Market Size To Reach $4.75 Billion By 2030

Hospital Gowns Market Growth & Trends

The global hospital gowns market is anticipated to reach USD 4.75 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.80% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising healthcare spending, increased awareness of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) importance due to pandemics such as COVID-19, incorporation of smart textiles and technology in gowns, and increase in number of surgical procedures is expected to increase the adoption rate of hospital gowns, thus driving the market over the forecast period.

The global healthcare industry has faced a severe issue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has raised the demand for emergency supplies, medicines, and medical equipment such as gowns, disinfection, and antiseptic products dramatically. The COVID-19 outbreak as well as rising hospital admissions around the world have considerably increased the demand for hospital gowns.

To meet the rising worldwide demand, WHO has urged the industry and governments to increase the production of personal protective equipment such as surgical masks, gloves, hospital gowns, respirators, aprons, face shields, and goggles by 40%. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the growth of the market for hospital gowns and is widely regarded as a highly significant market driver.

Moreover, heightened awareness of PPE importance has significantly impacted the market. The increased emphasis on infection prevention and control measures has led to a surge in demand for high-quality and specialized hospital gowns designed to provide effective protection for both healthcare professionals and patients. For instance, as per the data published in the article ‘Reusable Personal Protective Equipment in Canadian Healthcare: Safe, Secure and Sustainable’, in 2023, the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care conducted research on reusable PPE, such as gowns, goggles, face shields, and elastomeric respirators. The study aimed to explore ways to decrease plastic waste from PPE, specifically focusing on opportunities for reduction and reuse within the healthcare system.

In Canada, a significant portion of PPE is made from plastic, and a considerable amount of it is designed for single use. Hospitals and healthcare facilities worldwide have recognized the critical role that proper PPE, including hospital gowns, plays in preventing the transmission of infectious diseases. This awareness has driven a notable shift towards adopting advanced and innovative gown designs that offer enhanced protection against pathogens. Furthermore, the awareness of PPE's crucial role in pandemic situations has prompted healthcare providers to maintain adequate stocks of hospital gowns as part of their emergency preparedness strategies. Such initiatives drive the market growth.
