有粉手術手套市場 – 2024 年至 2029 年預測Powdered Surgical Glove Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
有粉手術手套市場將從2024年的186,187,000美元成長到2029年的210,392,000美元,複合年成長率為2.44%
有粉手術手套是醫用手套,主要含有粉狀玉米粉作為敷料劑,吸收皮膚上的汗水。此類手套用於醫療機構和門診手術中心,以保護醫護人員及其患者在不衛生的環境中免受疾病傳播。經濟國家微創手術的增加、外科中心的建立以及外科醫生健康水平的提高預計將推動市場擴張。
然而,醫療設備和手術工具的發展進步正在為手術手套創造新的可能性。為了最大限度地減少醫療廢棄物,人們擴大轉向永續材料,從而推動了生物分解性和無粉手術手套的開發。食品藥物管理局(FDA) 等主要監管機構已禁止使用粉末填充手套。預計這些舉措將阻礙整體市場的成長。
有粉手術手套因其獨特的潤滑性而形成一道屏障,防止醫療保健專業人員接觸任何疾病。這些手套的靈活性使他們能夠執行複雜且大多侵入性的手術。全世界慢性病數量的增加增加了此類手術的頻率。
例如,根據健康改善與差異辦公室的數據,2022 年,英國因白內障手術入院的人數達到 409,000 人,即每 10 萬人中有 3,803 人入院。同樣,根據歐洲角膜和細胞移植登記處的數據,該地區每年進行超過 30,000 例角膜移植手術。據同一資訊來源稱,2022年,歐洲白內障手術總數為271,347例,比2021年報告的手術數量增加了7.3%。
微創手術的增加預計將推動對提供更高保護免受任何疾病污染的手術手套的需求,從而為有粉手術手套市場提供新的成長前景。
手術手套是必不可少的手術工具,因為它們建立了一道屏障,在患者手術過程中為醫生和外科醫生提供衛生保護。醫療基礎設施的改善和對新設施的投資,以增強外科醫生和其他醫護人員的身體素質,為有粉手術手套市場需求創造了新的可能性。
根據國際美容與整形整形外科學會發布的《2023年世界美容整形外科調查》報告,土耳其整形外科醫師的身體素質提高了23%,其次是阿根廷,增幅為13%。因此,其他經濟體,即佔全球整形外科醫師實力近11%的巴西,其頻率也出現了4%的成長。
因此,我們進行了各種投資來平衡手術程序和外科醫生實力之間的不平衡,並努力加強醫生和醫療保健專業人員的整體頻率。預計這將刺激經濟中外科醫生的數量,並為未來的市場擴張鋪平道路。
粉末手術手套市場的地理前景
從地區來看,全球市場分為北美、南美、歐洲、中東和非洲以及亞太地區。由於主要區域經濟體的外科手術數量增加,預計前者將佔很大比例。例如,根據全球美容/整容手術調查,2023年印度進行的外科手術總數達到531,972例,比2022年的手術數量增加了37%。此外,臉部及頭部相關手術佔全國手術總數的42.4%。
消息人士進一步指出,日本、中國、印度和韓國合計佔全球整形外科醫師總數的21%。此外,其他經濟體,即泰國,到 2023 年,手術數量將增加 7%,手術總數(包括手術和非手術)整體增加 1.3%。
政府投資加強醫療基礎設施和建立新的基層醫院等其他因素進一步促進了該地區的市場成長。
有粉手術手套最初因其靈活性而受到醫療專業人員的歡迎。然而,這種手套已被證明會引起患者發炎和疤痕組織,而且手套中的玉米粉會引起副作用,包括術後沾黏並增加感染疾病機會。
因此,為了盡量減少此類手套的負面影響,各監管部門都禁止使用有粉手術手套。例如,食品藥物管理局(FDA) 在「禁止使用的器械:粉末狀手術手套、粉末狀病患檢查手套以及提案禁止使用吸收性粉末潤滑手術手套」的規定下,限制了此類手套在醫療環境中的使用由於患病和受傷的風險很高。
慢性病盛行率的增加正在增加相關手術的整體規模,這推動了手術手套的使用。然而,手術後,這種手套不再用於其他手術,變得毫無用處。隨著這種做法的持續,主要國家的醫療廢棄物總量不斷增加,造成了嚴重的問題。
為了克服這些問題,人們正在投資開發由永續材料製成的手術手套,這些材料可以輕鬆分解,而不會對環境產生負面影響。因此,Ansell、Medine 和 Top Glove Corporation Bhd 等公司正在轉向永續材料,並將其用作醫用手套製造的關鍵成分。
例如,根據 ASTM D5511 標準,Top Glove 的 Biogreen生物分解性丁腈手套經過專門設計,可在垃圾掩埋場等厭氧環境中輕鬆分解。因此,該產品的分解速度比傳統丁腈手套快 10 倍,支援 Top Glove 的目標,即提供適合醫療和非醫療程序的有效且經濟高效的手套。
The powdered surgical gloves market will grow from US$186.187 million in 2024 to US$210.392 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 2.44%
Powdered surgical gloves are medical gloves that mainly contain powdered cornstarch as a donning agent, which absorbs sweat from the skin. Such gloves protect healthcare professionals and their patients from disease transmission in unhygienic conditions, owing to which they are applicable in medical facilities and ambulatory surgery centers. The growing strength of minimally invasive surgeries, the establishment of surgical centers, and the improved strength of surgeons in economies are anticipated to drive the market expansion.
However, the ongoing development in medical devices and surgical tools has laid a new scope for the surgical glove. The ongoing shift towards sustainable materials to minimize medical waste has propelled the development of biodegradable and powder-free surgical gloves. Major governing authorities, such as the Food and Drug Administration, are banning the usage of powdered gloves. Such initiatives are expected to hamper the overall market growth.
Powdered surgical gloves, through their unique lubrication, create a barrier for healthcare professionals that prevents them from coming in contact with any disease. Owing to their flexible nature, the gloves enable them to perform intricate or complex, mainly invasive surgeries. The growing chronic conditions globally have increased the frequency of such surgeries.
For instance, according to the Office for Health Improvement & disparities, in 2022, the total number of admissions related to cataract surgery reached 409,000 in England, signifying a rate of 3,803 over 100,000 population. Likewise, as per the European Corneal and Cell Transplant Registry, more than 30,000 corneal transplants are conducted annually in the region. The same source specified that in 2022, the total strength of cataract extraction in Europe stood at 271,347, representing a 7.3% growth over the surgery frequency reported in 2021.
Such an increase in minimally invasive surgeries is expected to drive the demand for a surgical glove that offers greater protection against any disease contamination thereby providing new growth prospects for the powdered surgical gloves market.
Surgical gloves constitute an integral surgical tool as they establish a barrier that offers sanitary protection to doctors and surgeons while operating on patients. The growing healthcare infrastructure and investment in new establishments to bolster the strength of healthcare professionals such as surgeons have provided new scope for the market demand for powdered surgical gloves.
According to the "Global Survey on Aesthetic/Cosmetic Procedures" report issued by the International Society for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery for 2023, Turkey witnessed a 23% growth in its plastic surgeon strength, followed by Argentina, which experienced a 13% growth. Hence, other economies, namely Brazil, which also accounts for nearly 11% of the global plastic surgeon strength, experienced a 4% growth in their frequency.
Hence, to equalize the disbalance between surgical procedures and surgeons' strength, various investments are being made and initiatives undertaken to bolster the overall frequency of doctors and healthcare professionals. This is also expected to stimulate the number of surgeons in economies, thereby paving the way for future market expansion.
Powdered Surgical Gloves Market Geographical Outlook
Based on region, the global market is analyzed into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. The former is expected to constitute a considerable share fuelled by the growing number of surgical procedures in major regional economies. For instance, according to the "Global Survey on Aesthetic/Cosmetic Procedures", in 2023, the total number of surgical procedures conducted in India reached 531,972, representing a 37% growth over the number of procedures conducted in 2022. Moreover, face & head-related procedures accounted for 42.4% of the total surgeries in the country.
Moreover, the same source further stated that Japan, China, India, and South Korea jointly accounted for 21% of the total number of plastic surgeons globally. Additionally, other economies, namely Thailand, experienced a 7% growth in surgical procedures and an overall 1.3% growth in the total number of procedures (both surgical & non-surgical) in 2023.
Additional factors, such as favorable government investments to bolster healthcare infrastructure and the establishment of new primary hospitals, further augment regional market growth.
Powdered surgical gloves initially were popular among healthcare professionals owing to their flexible nature. However, such gloves have been shown to cause inflammation and scar tissue in patients, and the cornstarch present in them causes adverse reactions, including post-surgical adhesions, which increase the probability of infections.
Hence, to minimize the negative impact of such gloves, various governing authorities have imposed a ban on powdered surgical gloves. For instance, the Food and Drug Administration, under its "Banned Devices; Proposal to Ban Powdered Surgeon's Gloves, Powdered Patient Examination Gloves, and Absorbable Powder for Lubricating a Surgeon's Glove," restricted the usage of such gloves in medical practices as they pose a greater risk of post-surgery illness and injury.
The growing prevalence of chronic conditions has increased the overall scale of related surgeries, which has propelled the usage of surgical gloves. However, post-surgery, such gloves are not used for other procedures and are rendered useless. Such ongoing practices have increased the overall volume of medical waste in major nations, which has become a serious concern.
To overcome such issues, investments are being made to develop surgical gloves made from sustainable materials that can easily be decomposed without leaving any negative environmental impact. Hence, companies such as Ansell, Medine, and Top Glove Corporation Bhd are transitioning towards sustainable materials and using them as key ingredients in medical glove production.
For instance, Top Glove's "BioGreen Biodegradable Nitrile Gloves" are based on ASTM D5511 standards and are specifically designed to easily decompose in anaerobic environments such as landfills. Hence, the product has a tenfold faster decomposition rate than conventional nitrile gloves and supports Top Glove's goals of providing effective and cost-efficient gloves that are ideal for medical and non-medical practices.
