Healthcare Fabrics Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increased quality of healthcare fabrics

The demand for high quality hygienic products is increasing day by day. The high quality of healthcare fabrics is growing due to growing prevalence of chronic infections and expansion of healthcare industry. As a result, increased quality of healthcare fabrics is boosting the growth of global healthcare fabrics market.

Restraints

Growing carbon footprint

The sanitary napkins are regarded as threat for environment. One sanitary napkin might take 500-800 years to degrade, as per the Menstrual Health Alliance India. Not only sanitary napkins but also diapers are regarded as non-biodegradable materials. Burning these type of healthcare fabrics releases toxic and harmful gases on a large scale. This deteriorates the quality of air in environment. Moreover, these products are made up of plastic which is not easily degraded in environment. Thus, growing carbon footprint is restricting the expansion of global healthcare fabrics market during the forecast period.

Opportunities

Growing consumer awareness for hygiene products

The concept of sanitization and personal hygiene is gaining traction all around the globe. The government is also emphasizing for adoption of feminine hygiene products. This has resulted into the surge in demand for sanitary napkins and pads globally. In addition, government are also carrying out campaigns for the promotion of hygiene. The Total Sanitization Campaign in India has been trying to raise female hygiene education in rural regions. Thus, growing consumer awareness for hygiene products are creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of global healthcare fabrics market.

For instance, menstrual cups are highly used in the market instead of sanitary napkins and pads. Menstrual cups are quite cost effective in nature as compared to pads. As a result, availability of substitutes are a major challenges for the expansion of global healthcare fabrics market over the forecast period.
