Executive Summary
At 5.5% CAGR, the Asia Pacific Sharps Containers Market is Speculated to be Worth US$ 203.52 Million by 2030.According to this research, the Asia Pacific sharps containers market was valued at US$ 133.10 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 203.52 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2030. Increase in generation of medical waste and rise in hospitalizations in private and public hospitals across the globe are among the critical factors attributed to the Asia Pacific sharps containers market expansion.
Hospitals generate a large amount of waste, so more single-use containers are required. Growing need for waste disposal and management and regulatory compliance for medical waste disposal, increasing surgeries and infections, and surging patient visits to hospitals are driving the sharps container market. The increasing use of sharps with the proliferation of healthcare facilities, rise in surgical procedures, and growing healthcare concerns due to needlestick injuries fuel the demand for sharps disposal products. Several studies found that healthcare facilities still dispose of injections and other sharps waste in open pits or boxes instead of using disposal containers, which in turn increases the need to use effective sharp drop devices in these facilities. The continued development and updating of government policies and initiatives by public/private entities related to waste management will require compliance.
The increasing burden of chronic diseases is leading to a rise in the number of surgical procedures worldwide in which sharp medical instruments such as scalpels, needles, intravenous injections, and other devices are widely used. This is expected to fuel the demand for sharps containers, driving the market. According to the research study titled "Estimation of the National Surgical Needs in India by Enumerating the Surgical Procedures in an Urban Community Under Universal Health Coverage," published in September 2020, ~11% of the global burden of disease requires surgical procedures or anesthetic care or both and estimated 3,646 surgeries would be required annually to meet the surgical needs of the Indian population, compared to the global estimate of 5,000 surgeries per 100,000 people. Therefore, with the growing demand for surgical procedures, the amount of medical waste in hospitals is increasing, boosting demand for sharps containers to dispose of the waste.
