The Global Market for Surfing is Projected to Reach US$9.5 Billion by 2022

The global market for Surgical Drapes and Gowns is projected to reach US$3.7 billion by 2025, driven by spiraling rise in the number of surgeries and medical examinations performed worldwide. Growing burden of cancer and cardiovascular disorders especially is driving demand for life-saving surgical interventions. Given the growing severity of diseases especially infectious diseases, complex surgical procedures are forecast to become more common in the coming years. Few of the factors driving the volume of surgeries worldwide include rapidly aging population with diseases that need surgical intervention and their high degree of vulnerability for infections; rise in chronic diseases such as CVDs and cancer that require surgery as an effective alternative to oral therapy; technology innovations, improved surgical outcomes and increased patient acceptance; growing per capita healthcare spending, increased insurance coverage and greater patient affordability. Amid the rising incidence of nosocomial infections, hospital acquired infections (HAIs), and health care-associated infection (HCAI), strong emphasis is shed on safety standards, bringing preparatory stages of surgery into focus.  In the U.S alone, over 98,000 people die each year due to HAIs taking the overall direct costs of HAIs to approximately US$40 to US$45 billion annually. A large percentage of HCAI occur during acute care and this brings surgery into the spotlight. Burden of HCAI is more severe in patients undergoing surgery. They represent a high-risk population. Device-associated infections and various forms of contact from a contaminated surgeon are leading causes of surgical site infections. Surgical site infections increase the risk of trauma, shock, blood transfusion, hypothermia, hypoxia, and hyperglycemia. Against this backdrop, the importance of providing safe surgical services is growing. Read More…
