Medical cloth provides safety from bodily fluids and contaminants, mainly during disease treatment at medical facilities such as hospitals. Sharp injuries, latex allergies, laser pumps, blood-borne pathogens, hazardous chemicals, and others are the various occupational risks for medical professionals involving doctors, nurses, and medical staff. To protect them from these hazards, individuals have to wear medical apparel to avoid damage or adverse effects of diseases. Drapes, surgical gowns, scrubs, protective facemasks, boots, eye gear, aprons, and caps are protective clothing used in hospitals and medical facilities. The increased prevalence of chronic diseases has increased the number of patients worldwide. On the other hand, patients in hospitals are at risk of developing hospital-acquired infections (HAI). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at any given moment, 10% of hospitals in underdeveloped countries and roughly 7% of hospitals in affluent nations document at least one incidence of HAI.

Market Dynamics and Factors:           

Innovative medical clothing has been developed in part due to developments in textile technology. The market has seen a rise in the popularity of materials with improved qualities such as antimicrobial textiles, moisture-wicking abilities, and breathability.

Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and plant closures had an impact on the logistics, manufacturing, and raw material procurement, which caused delays and shortages in the market.
