The global medical disposables market is anticipated to reach USD 1,510.09 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by various factors such as rising chronic disorders, technological advancements coupled with increasing demand for single-use products in various end-use facilities, and increased investments in healthcare infrastructure.
Technological advancements serve as a crucial catalyst for the expansion of the medical disposables market. Innovations such as smart materials, 3D printing, and nanotechnology have fundamentally transformed the landscape of disposable medical device design and manufacturing. This evolution contributes to heightened efficiency, safety, and overall performance of such devices. The incorporation of these technological breakthroughs facilitates the creation of disposable products characterized by enhanced precision, diminished environmental footprint, and elevated levels of patient comfort.
For instance, in November 2023, Inspira Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. recently disclosed the approval of a grant by the Israeli Innovation Authority (IIA) about its pioneering VORTX Disposable Blood Oxygenation Technology. VORTX is designed with a primary objective of optimizing blood oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal. This engineering approach aims to alleviate prevalent fiber-membrane complications, including device failure, coagulation, and hemolysis. The strategic focus on enhancing oxygenation efficiency and minimizing adverse effects underscores the commitment to overcoming key challenges associated with traditional fiber-membrane technologies.
Technological advancements also drive cost-effectiveness in manufacturing processes, making disposable medical devices more affordable and accessible. The continuous evolution of technologies like robotics and automation in production facilities further ensures the scalability and consistency of disposable medical product manufacturing which boosts the medical disposables market growth in the near future.
