According to Triton Market Research’s report, the hospital gowns market is expected to experience a CAGR of 11.83% during the forecast period spanning from 2023 to 2030.

The hospital gowns market is being driven by the increasing number of surgeries being performed worldwide. The United States alone sees over 50 million procedures conducted each year, according to a study published in July 2020 titled “trauma of major surgery.” Hospital gowns play a vital role in protecting patients against nosocomial infections, which is why surgeons consistently recommend their use.

Additionally, the growing demand for hospital gowns is due to the increasing prevalence of healthcare-associated infections caused by a lack of sanitation and precautions. Hospital gowns can help protect patients against these infections. This is expected to drive the growth of the global hospital gowns market during the forecast period.

The global hospital gowns market could face difficulties in the forecast period due to the strict production standards for hospital gowns in different countries. For instance, medical gowns in the US are categorized as medical equipment and regulated by the FDA, with surgical and surgical isolation gowns requiring premarket approval as Class II medical devices. Non-surgical gowns, on the other hand, do not require premarket review but are still subject to production standards. This variation in production standards across different types of hospital gowns and countries may pose a challenge to the growth of the global hospital gowns market.

The global hospital gowns market is led by North America, which accounted for the highest revenue share in 2022. The demand for hospital gowns in the region is expected to increase due to the growing number of surgeries and healthcare facilities. The hospital gowns market in the United States is driven by the increase in hospital-acquired infections and the number of surgeries performed. The American College of Surgeons reports that approximately 15 million people in the country undergo surgery each year, creating a significant demand for surgical gowns.

Some of the key players in the hospital gowns market include Standard Textile Co Inc, Angelica Corporation, Halyard Health, Mölnlycke Health Care, Aramark, Medline Industries LP, Cardinal Health Inc, 3M, AmeriPride Services Inc (acquired by Aramark), and Primed Medical Products Inc.

Entering the hospital gowns market is challenging for new players due to the substantial investment required for purchasing supplies, vehicles for transportation, and raw materials for gown production. Moreover, stringent regulatory standards for hygiene and safety act as a significant restraint. Therefore, there is a moderate overall risk predicted for new entrants in this market.
