U.S. Hospital Consumables Market - Growth Overview and Predictions on Size, Share and Trend Through 2025

The U.S. hospital consumables market size is anticipated to reach USD 53.24 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., experiencing a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Rising number of surgeries and prevalence of chronic diseases, coupled with expanding geriatric population in the U.S., is promoting the growth of the market.

Geriatric population in the U.S. accounts for a significant share in the overall population of the country. As per a report in 2018 by World Bank, the global population aged 60 years and above was 15.4% of the total population in 2017 in comparison with 12.9% in 2010. Aging makes a person more susceptible to cardiovascular, urological, and neurological diseases, among others. People suffering from these conditions often require surgical interventions. Thus, increasing elderly population is projected to provide an upthrust to the U.S. market.
Based on product, the segments reviewed in the report include medical gloves, medical gauze, disposable syringes, catheters, non-woven disposable products, glucometer strips, IV solutions, and general procedure trays. The non-woven medical disposables segment represented over 29.0% of the overall revenue in 2017. Non-woven disposables are either made from natural fibers, such as cotton and linen, or synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, and polyester. These fabrics protect patients and medical professionals from hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).
General procedure trays are poised to be the most promising product segment during the forecast period. These trays consist of specific tools and instruments used in surgical and diagnostic procedures related to cardiovascular, orthopedics, ophthalmic, and dental procedures, among others. Procedure kits can effectively reduce waste generation in hospitals. Moreover, custom kits can also reduce time required for specific surgeries, leading to a greater number of surgeries being performed in lesser time.

Liver Cancer Diagnostic Market Analysis and In-Depth Research On Market Dynamics, Trends, Emerging Growth Factors and Forecasts to 2025

The global liver cancer diagnostics market size is expected to reach USD 15.4 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 8.1% over the estimated time period. Rise in disease incidence coupled with growing demand for novel diagnosis products are thrusting the growth of the market. Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults. It is among the common causes of death in people with liver cirrhosis and the third-leading cause of cancer deaths across the globe. Poor survival rate and lack of therapies has made this disease a crucial health issue worldwide.

Government and some global health organizations are undertaking initiatives to raise awareness regarding liver cancer through various campaigns. These programs aim to create awareness about signs, symptoms, and complications associated with carcinomas. High costs associated with cancer treatments compared to other diseases have led to increasingly rigid treatment guidelines for expensive drugs and diagnostic tests across various markets. For instance, the Affordable Care Act, designed to improve quality of healthcare and reduce the cost associated with it. This act covers reimbursement for cancer diagnosis and treatment up to a certain extent. Governments in other countries are also taking efforts to overcome challenges, such as cost and access to cancer care.
Such efforts and insurance policies that cover cost of diagnosis and treatment of carcinomas are supporting market growth. Newer techniques developed for hepatocellular carcinoma render both liver transplant, as well as surgical resection, more effective and safer. Several etiological factors of HCC such as hepatitis infection and cirrhosis are modifiable and thus present a strong prospect to reduce disease mortality by preventive strategies. Key players and medical institutions are focusing on the development of advanced tests for HCC diagnosis. These factors along with high unmet needs are expected to propel the growth of liver cancer diagnostics market through the forecast period.
