Which Factors Are Boosting Growth In The Surgical Drapes Market?
The surgical drapes market is predicted to expand, driven by the rise in surgical procedures. Surgical procedures, which often involve incisions, are typically carried out in an operating room and require anesthesia or pain relief. Surgical drapes are essential for offering barrier protection, managing fluids, ensuring visibility and durability, as well as providing comfort to patients during surgeries. For instance, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development reported in September 2023 that there had been an 8.4% increase in cataract surgery procedures in the Czech Republic. The total number of procedures in 2022 was 142,670, compared to 131,612 in 2021. Hence, the upturn in surgical procedures is fostering growth in the surgical drapes market. The surgical drapes market is also expected to grow due to the escalating number of ambulatory surgical centers. These centers provide same-day surgical care, including preventive and diagnostic procedures, without necessitating an overnight stay for patients. They use surgical drapes to ensure a sterilized and controlled environment during outpatient procedures, which helps in preventing infection and promoting efficient surgical practices. According to Surgical Information Systems LLC, the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) industry saw significant growth in 2022, with a 2.5% annual increase resulting in over 6,000 centers. Consequently, the growth of ambulatory surgical centers is contributing to the expansion of the surgical drapes market.

What Trends Are Reshaping The Future Of The Surgical Drapes Market?
Leading businesses in the surgical drape market are concentrating on the creation of innovative surgical drapes by employing high-tech solutions such as the BeneHold CHG adhesive technology. This technology is designed to offer dependable services to clients by including the functionality of an antibacterial ingredient, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), into a lean, acrylic adhesive film. This helps in preventing edge lift and ensures a sterile surgical site. For example, in March 2022, Cardinal Health, a US healthcare firm, introduced the first surgical incise drape that incorporated the antiseptic chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG). The drape leverages the distinctive BeneHold CHG adhesive technology patented by Avery Dennison, significantly reducing the likelihood of contamination at the surgical site by common infection-causing microbes.
