Report Overview

The global medical specialty bags market size was estimated at USD 6.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is mainly due to the increase in the elderly population and the rising prevalence of acute diseases such as urinary bladder cancer and other urinary bladder-related disorders. Medical specialty bags are used to store and deliver various fluids, drugs, and nutrients to patients while maintaining a sterile and hazard-free environment around the infected site. Blood storage, bile collection, gastrointestinal feeding, and sterile packaging are some of the key applications of medical bags. Medical bags can be used to control bowel incontinence and bile leakage.

Uniform compensation policies, easy availability of products, and cost-effectiveness make the product affordable, lucrative, and flexible for consumers.

Government agencies are essential for the expansion of the product market because they support rising demand by investing in health infrastructure, creating better reimbursement plans, raising public awareness, establishing competitive prices, and promoting research and development. The market is anticipated to grow due to rising concerns for health and hygiene, changes in technological trends, and improvements in medical standards and facilities.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the market negatively initially, as many non-life-threatening surgeries were postponed, leading to a decrease in the demand for these bags. Later, there was an increase in custom specialty bags for collecting various bodily samples for COVID-19 contraction testing. Hence, the overall of impact COVID-19 on the market was positive.
