||||||
2025年全球醫用不織布一次性用品市場規模為146億美元。展望未來,IMARC Group預測,該市場將在2026年至2034年間以6.45%的複合年成長率成長,到2034年達到260億美元。目前,北美市場佔據主導地位,預計2025年市佔率將超過36.8%。在北美,醫療保健成本上升、手術量增加、感染控制法規日益嚴格以及人口老化是推動醫用不織布一次性用品市場成長的主要因素。此外,人們對醫院感染的日益關注、技術進步以及主要市場參與者的強大影響力也促進了醫用不織布一次性用品市場佔有率的成長。
一次性不織布醫療產品市場的發展主要受以下因素驅動:醫療保健意識的提高、外科手術量的增加以及感染控制法規的日益嚴格。醫院感染(HAI)的發生率不斷上升,推動了口罩、罩衣和手術鋪巾等一次性醫療產品的市場需求。人口老化導致持續的醫療照護需求增加,也促進了市場成長。不織布的廣泛應用得益於技術進步,其在透氣性、防水性和成本效益方面具有許多優勢。隨著醫療基礎設施的不斷完善,醫護人員使用一次性醫療用品來加強病患安全,並透過更嚴格的衛生管理來提高病患安全,因此市場需求也不斷成長。此外,政府為促進感染預防而採取的措施以及主要市場參與者對創新產品研發的投資,也進一步推動了不織布醫療產品市場的成長。
美國一次性不織布醫療產品市場成長的主要促進因素包括醫療保健支出增加、外科手術量上升以及嚴格的感染控制法規。根據美國醫學會 (AMA) 統計,2022 年至 2023 年醫療保健支出增加了 7.5%,超過了 2021 年至 2022 年 4.6% 的增幅。 2022 年至 2023 年醫療保健總支出的成長率顯著高於 2010 年代的年均成長率 (4.1%)。醫院感染 (HAI) 的增加推動了對口罩、罩衣和手術鋪巾等一次性醫療產品的需求。此外,需要持續醫療保健的老年人口不斷成長也促進了市場成長。不織布技術的進步以及主要行業參與者的強大影響力進一步加速了產品的普及。新冠肺炎疫情也加速了一次性醫療用品的使用。政府為促進衛生和預防感染所做的努力也持續支持醫療機構的市場擴張。
院內感染(HAI)增加
醫院感染(HAI)發生率的上升是推動一次性不織布醫療產品需求的主要因素。根據產業報告顯示,2023年加州記錄的HAI病例最多,達8024例,其次是紐約州(5,491例)和德克薩斯州(5,177例)。 HAI病例最多的州也是美國人口最多的州,這很可能是由於這些州高風險感染患者的比例較高所致。 HAI會帶來嚴重的健康風險,導致住院時間延長、醫療成本增加和死亡率上升。為了應對這些風險,醫療機構正在採用拋棄式不織布產品,例如罩衣、口罩和手術鋪巾,這些產品能夠提供更優異的病原體阻隔保護。監管機構嚴格執行感染控制指引也進一步刺激了需求。除了加強衛生管理的需求外,醫護人員感染預防意識的提高也持續加速全球一次性不織布醫療產品市場的成長。
外科手術和醫療治療增加
擇期手術和急診手術數量的增加正在改善不織布不織布醫療產品的市場前景。根據產業報告顯示,中低收入國家每年需要額外進行1.43億例手術,以挽救生命並預防傷害。全球每年進行的3.13億例手術中,只有6%是在最貧困的國家進行的,而這些國家居住全球超過三分之一的人口。手術口罩、罩衣和手術鋪巾對於維持無菌環境和預防手術感染至關重要。隨著慢性病和肥胖、心血管疾病等文明病的增加,手術需求持續成長。此外,微創手術的進步也進一步推動了一次性醫療用品的需求。由於醫院將病人安全和感染控制放在首位,對一次性不織布產品的依賴性依然很高,從而推動了醫療保健領域市場的持續成長。
不織布技術的進步
不織布技術的創新在醫用不織布一次性產品市場的擴張中發揮著至關重要的作用。現代不織布材料具有許多增強性能,例如更佳的透氣性、更強的防潮性、更高的耐用性和更卓越的過濾效率。紡粘、熔噴和複合不織布技術的進步正引領高性能醫用一次性產品的開發。此外,環保和可生物分解不織布材料的引入也契合了醫療領域永續性的永續發展概念。這些技術進步不僅提升了產品的有效性,也促進了其在醫院、診所和門診中心的廣泛應用。例如,2024年8月,Manjushree Spntek公司開發了一種獨特的混合不織布系列,專為化療罩衣設計。 Manjushree Spntek的Hightex整體式混合不織布採用獨特的聚合物基連續纖維網路與增強型熱塑性樹脂相結合的工藝製成,在確保醫護人員在手術過程中舒適防護的同時,還能有效阻隔化學品和危險藥物(HDs)。 Hightex 已通過全球多家檢測實驗室的認證,符合嚴格的 ASTM F3267-22 和 ASTM D6978 標準。 Hightex 的研發旨在為化療藥物的配製、給藥、廢棄物處理或洩漏清理過程中提供最佳的安全性,避免危險藥物的危害。
