The demand for surgical drapes will increase as the number of operations increases. About 70 million surgical procedures are carried out in Europe each year, and the rate is rising from 3% to 4% annually, claims Molnlycke Health Care AB. Therefore, it is projected that during the projection period, the number of surgical procedures will drive market growth. The market expands because of this factor. Moreover, the demand for surgical drapes will rise as hospitalizations and Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) increase globally. For instance, according to estimates from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at least one HAI case is seen annually by 1 in every 31 hospitalised patients.

One of the notable trends in the global surgical drapes and gowns market is the increasing demand for disposable and single-use products. The shift towards disposable drapes and gowns is driven by several factors, including the need for infection control, convenience, and cost-effectiveness. Disposable products reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients and healthcare professionals, as they are discarded after each use. Furthermore, there has been a growing emphasis on patient and healthcare worker safety, leading to the adoption of more advanced drapes and gowns with improved barrier properties. Manufacturers are focusing on developing products with enhanced resistance to fluid penetration, bacterial transmission, and microbial colonization to minimize the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) and other healthcare-associated infections. In addition to safety, there is an increasing demand for surgical drapes and gowns that offer better comfort and flexibility for healthcare professionals. Manufacturers are incorporating features such as lightweight materials, breathability, and ergonomic designs to improve overall user experience during surgeries and other medical procedures.

North America dominated the global Surgical Drapes and Gowns market. This is due to its well-established healthcare infrastructure, including technologically advanced hospitals and surgical facilities. The region's stringent infection control regulations also drive the demand for high-quality surgical drapes and gowns to prevent healthcare-associated infections. Additionally, North America's higher healthcare expenditure, along with a strong focus on patient safety, contributes to the demand for premium surgical drapes and gowns that meet the rigorous standards of the region's healthcare facilities.
