Global medical protective clothing market was worth USD 373.7 million in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 7.4%) between 2020 and 2027. Market growth is expected to be influenced by rising demand for high-quality healthcare services. Protecting patients and doctors from pathogens is a key part of medical protective clothing. These clothing also help to prevent the spread of contagions and are therefore widely used during the COVID-19 Pandemic to protect healthcare workers (including doctors, nurses, and other staff members). The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons reported that approximately 600,000 Total Knee Arthroplasty procedures (TKAs) were performed in 2010. This number is expected to rise to over 3 million TKAs by 2030. The U.S. market is expected to grow due to the rising number of operations.
The growth of hospitals is expected to be boosted by ongoing innovations and technological advancements. This will increase the demand for medical protective clothes. Market growth will also be supported by the rising incidence of chronic diseases.
Employers have been forced to use medical protective clothing to shield their workers from various diseases and hazards because of stringent government regulations.
Protecting healthcare professionals (HCPs), and patients from severe infectious diseases (HCIDs) is possible by wearing appropriate protective clothing. Market growth will be impacted by the conformance of medical protective clothing to ASTM F1670 or ASTM F1671 standards.
Gowns accounted for 41.9% of the market in 2019, and they are expected to grow the fastest between 2020-2027. Healthcare professionals use impermeable, fluid-resistant medical protective clothes such as surgical gowns or isolation gowns to treat patients with COVID-19. Non-sterile disposable patient isolation dresses are being replaced with reusable gowns from cotton-polyester and polyester fabrics.
The ability to provide 360deg protection for healthcare professionals means that coveralls will grow at a 7.4% CAGR between 2020 and 2027 in terms revenue. These medical protective clothes are made to cover the whole body including the lower legs and back as well as the head and, in some cases, the feet.
The NFPA 1999 standard in the United States specifies minimum performance, documentation and testing requirements, certification and design requirements, as well as the required design specifications for new multi-use or single-use medical protective clothing. The international standards EN14126, EN13795 and EN13795 provide protection against body fluids of moderate to high levels.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a shortage of medical protective clothing. HCPs have prioritized the use of coveralls in aerosol-generating procedures, as well as when changing linens, providing hygiene, dressing and assisting with toileting. Additionally, surgical gowns are only approved for surgical or other sterile procedures.
The market for medical protective clothes was dominated by hospitals. They held a 55.5% share in 2019. It is expected that the market will see the greatest growth between 2020 and 2027. The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reported that healthcare spending increased by 4.6% in 2018. This equated to more than USD 3.6 trillion. Hospital care accounted for more than USD 1.19 trillion. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases has led to an increase in hospital visits and re-admissions. This has had a positive effect on the demand for medical protective clothes in hospitals.
The demand for hospital medical protective clothing is expected to rise due to the rapid growth of the geriatric population and increasing incidence of other infections such as AIDS and hospital-acquired infections. The segment will also be driven by reforms and initiatives that favor medical protection in government hospitals.
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) states that primary care services are the first point of call in the healthcare system. This includes diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, patient education and counseling, as well as health maintenance and prevention. The segment is expected to grow because of the increasing number of patients who visit primary care services for consultation.
In 2019, 21.9% of global revenue was attributed to home healthcare facilities. This is due to their ability to provide services such as skilled nursing and assisted living within the patient's own homes. The demand for medical protective clothing at home healthcare facilities is expected to increase with an aging population.
Europe was the leader in medical protective clothing market with a 34.3% revenue share in 2019. Germany is expected to grow at 6.6% in terms revenue between 2020 and 2027 due to the rising number of elderly citizens. The demand for medical protective clothing is expected to increase due to the increasing number of same-day operations.
Infectious diseases were responsible for 7 percent of all deaths in the U.K. in 2017 and contributed to health and economic problems. The U.K.'s national immunization program has been deemed to be an effective public health intervention. In 2017, 7% of deaths were due to infectious diseases.
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a 8.8% CAGR between 2020 and 2027.

According to a South Korean plastic surgeon, South Korea had more than 980,000 operations in 2014. This is because women from Eastern Asia have "monolid" eyes. Eyelid Surgery is the most common in the country. Body contouring is also popular as it is less expensive in South Korea than in other countries. Over the forecast period, the demand for medical protective clothing such as surgical gowns will increase due to the increasing number of plastic surgery.
Japan is a country that is susceptible to disasters. It has many hospitals, outpatient surgical/day centres, and emergency medical service (EMS) providers. The government has taken cost-saving measures such as self-management of chronic diseases and preventative care in response to the high prevalence of chronic illnesses. Japan was Asia Pacific's largest contributor to the overall revenue in 2019, accounting for 11.4%. This is due to the country's growing medical innovation.
