Market growth is expected to be driven by the increasing number of operations performed. According to Molnlycke Health Care AB 70 million European surgical procedures are performed each year.

An increasing number of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) is leading to an increase in patients. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is also due to unhealthy and sedentary lifestyles, as well as increased smoking and alcohol consumption. According to the American Heart Association projections, over 130 million Americans, or 45.1%, could be suffering from CVD by 2035. According to the CDC, approximately 655,000 Americans are affected by heart disease each year. That's about 1 in 4 deaths. According to the CDC, 6 out 10 Americans have a chronic condition and 4 out 10 suffer from at least one chronic disease.

Pillow covers are stain resistant and minimize shrinkage.

The market can be divided into disposable and reusable products based on product. For the forecast period, disposable products will see the fastest CAGR at 7.3%. This segment's fastest growth is due to its high demand. Because of their efficiency and protection, disposable products are preferred to reusable ones. Disposable bedsheets are also more economical than reusable products. Disposable sheets are made from hypoallergic and dermatologically-screened materials to reduce the risk of infection spreading from one patient to the next. Companies have been able to develop new disposable sheets thanks to technological advances in the manufacturing sector. Peel Away Labs, for example, launched multi-layered disposable sheets in August 2018. These developments contribute to segment growth.

The materials used to make reusable products have also changed dramatically. Antimicrobial fabrics have been gaining popularity with manufacturers and academics due to their ability to provide quality and safety. Researchers continue to work on creating skin-friendly, eco-friendly and cost-effective products. Manufacturers seek to increase market share through differentiation of their products using different active agents textiles. The fabric is treated with an innovative antibacterial treatment.
