Summary

US demand to rise 4.1% annually through 2013
Demand for disposable medical supplies in the US is projected to increase 4.1 percent annually to more than $79 billion in 2013. An increasing volume of health care activity attributable to aging demographic patterns and a rising incidence of diseases and disorders will underlie growth. Demand will also gain upward momentum as hospitals, outpatient facilities and other health care establishments adopt stricter safeguards to meet infection prevention standards.

Instruments to remain largest product category
Instruments and devices for respiratory care, drug delivery, catheterization and related procedures will remain the largest
group of disposable medical supplies, with demand reaching $38.6 billion in 2013. Growth will reflect a rising base of chronic care patients who require surgery or continuous therapy. This trend, coupled with the introduction of new higher value-added, safety-enhanced products, will boost demand for several
single-use products, including oxygen therapy supplies, prefilled syringes, atherectomy and coronary perfusion catheters, transdermal patches and
peritoneal dialysis kits.

Biological, synthetic dressings to pace wound supplies
Demand for wound management supplies will reach $8.7 billion in 2013. Dressings based on alginate, foam, collagen and growth factor substances will post the best gains based on expanding applications in the treatment of moderate-tosevere lacerations. Tissue sealants composed of cyanoacrylates and bioengineered fibrins will also fare well in the marketplace based on superior binding traits and fast healing advantages. Demand for bandages will expand at a below average pace due to limited pricing flexibility and the general lack of proprietary products. Trends toward less invasive surgery will weaken the overall
market for wound closures.

Class IV drapes, gowns to be fastest growing nonwovens
Class IV surgical drapes and gowns will post the strongest sales gains among nonwoven medical textiles as surgical infection prevention safeguards are upgraded by hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. Disposable face masks will also fare well in the marketplace, benefitting from routine use by medical providers in virtually all direct contact patient procedures. Enhanced absorbent, odor neutralized diapers and shields will see the fastest gains in demand among incontinence products based on comfort and protection advantages.

Home kits, contact lenses to provide opportunities
Among other disposable medical supplies, blood glucose test strips and home test kits for other diabetes markers, along with daily contact lenses, first aid kits, biological indicators and laboratory gloves, will command the strongest growth opportunities. An expanding number of diabetics engaging in self-testing will boost demand for blood glucose test strips. New color-tinted, UV-protected and moisture-enhanced brands will expand sales of daily contact lenses. Trends promoting self-treatment and preventive medicine will impact favorably on demand for first aid kits. The upgrading of infection prevention safeguards in hospitals will promote the widening use of biological indicators in sterilization processes. Lastly, drug discovery activities and medical research investigations will benefit lab gloves.
