Market Opportunity Study for the Surgical Disposables Segment

February 9, 2017

Getting insights into the current market scenario, analyzing the marketability of products, and identification of potential customers are key to understanding the marketability of products.

With the increasing affluence of the global population, most people have started caring more about their health issues than problems such as famine or hunger. Even today, many people across the globe die because of contagious diseases or infectious diseases. Can you imagine what the result will be if someone who is undergoing surgery iscapture accidentally infected with other diseases through equipment such as a blood transfusion set or bags used for blood collection? The repercussions of such instances of carelessness would be huge for hospitals using such contaminated equipment. Consequently, while providing services to raise the utilization of healthcare facilities, it becomes essential for healthcare providers to take the patient’s health and safety into consideration and enhance the utilization of surgical disposables. By doing this, instances of unnecessary death rates can be prevented and a high living standard can be assured, which subsequently will prompt the use of surgical disposables.

Since the past decade, the global market space for surgical disposables has been witnessing profound growth and has consequently resulted in the influx of products such as latex gloves, disposable syringes, and infusion or transfusion sets, including needles, catheters, and infusion bags. At Infiniti, our “market entry strategy support” team understands that due to this market’s competitive nature, suppliers are finding it difficult to develop effective strategies for market entry. The competitive nature of this industry also makes it difficult for manufacturers and strategy experts to understand the market’s competitive dynamics to estimate the marketability of their products across target regions.

The Business Challenge

With a keen eye on exploring future growth opportunities and understanding the market size for surgical disposables, the client – a global manufacturer of plastic packaging and protection products for household, food, healthcare, and industrial applications – was looking for effective market entry strategy support for its products across South America. To meet the client’s specific business requirements, industry experts carried out an in-depth market opportunity study to assess current and projected market size and demand trends for disposable surgical gowns, drapes, and back table covers across target regions.

The scope of this in-depth market opportunity study was to offer the client insights into the market today, and it’scapture2 potential moving forward. Most companies operating in this market space believe that, in regions such as South America, the current hospital infrastructure is affecting the hesitancy to move towards disposables. However, a key to understanding the extent of how large investments in healthcare laundry is affecting this uncertainty is to gain an understanding of the reimbursements offered to hospitals.

Additionally, Infiniti’s market entry strategy support team tracked recent developments and innovations in the market through secondary journals and reached out to relevant stakeholders, including industry experts, KOLs, product users, and procurement experts to understand their views on the market landscape. Our research team also spoke to stakeholders responsible for the sales and distribution of surgical disposables to understand how the market would grow in the near future to validate the market size and opportunity model developed for this segment.
