Medical supplies consist of medical devices, medical apparatuses, and consumables intended for aid in diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of medical conditions. Supply and distribution of the medical supplies are extremely important as these impact the quality of patient care, and also account for major proportion in health care costs. Rapid adoption of surgical procedures and rising incidence of chronic diseases are boosting the demand and production of various medical supplies. According to the UCSF (University of California, San Francisco), in 2014, 2 million people were estimated to be affected with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which is likely to increase at 5% to 7% each year. In the U.S., 650,000 people are likely to get affected with end-stage renal disease every year.

Rising incidence of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, renal disease, cardiovascular diseases, bacterial infections, ear infections, etc. and growing old age population are driving the medical supplies marketacross the world. Surge in health care expenditure made by governments across countries is also expected to drive the global medical supplies market. Moreover, rise in demand of advanced surgeries and high investments made by governments are anticipated to propel the global medical supplies market during the forecast period. Increasing incidence of hospital-acquired infections is also expected to augment the growth of the global medical supplies market in the near future.

Furthermore, high demand of common medical supplies such as thermometers, ophthalmoscopes, sphygmomanometers, and stethoscopes is likely to drive the market in the next few years. Cost of medical supplies has been a part of budgets of most health care organizations, which proves the rising demand for medical supplies. However, supply chain management of a hospital is a complex process, which is likely to restrain the global medical supplies market. Furthermore, product recalling and stringent regulatory compliance needed for approval of medical supplies is anticipated to hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period. Nevertheless, investments made by companies in the emerging market and increasing patient pool for surgeries are expected to present growth opportunities to the medical supplies market in the next few years.
