The global biohazard bags market is envisioned to garner $679.1 million by 2030, growing from $396.6 million in 2021 at a CAGR of 6.38% from 2022 to 2030.
Biohazardous waste collection bags are used to collect, store, and transport biohazardous / infectious waste within the health care facility, outpatient surgery center, alternate care clinic, physician's office, and lab. These bags are temperature-tolerant and used to hold waste or other items during autoclaving/sterilization. They are available in multiple sizes and colors. Some bags may include a sterility indicator. Biohazard bags are used to sterilize the waste in autoclave. Autoclaving is a process that destroys microbes and other potentially infectious substances.
These bags are typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), and polyamide. Some autoclave bags include a sterility indicator, such as printing that does not appear unless the successful autoclave conditions are met. They may be clear, translucent, red, or orange and may be imprinted with the biohazard symbol or have text printed in English, Spanish, or both. This autoclave bags can be found in multiple capacities, from less than 15 gallon to more than 35 gallons. They are also available in various thicknesses and from dimensions of 10 x 10 inches to as large as 37 x 48 inches.
The increasing demand of hazardous bags in hospitals due to rising COVID-19 cases globally along with stringent regulatory guidelines for effective waste management across the globe and growing healthcare industry especially indeveloping countries are some factors that can be anticipated to drive the market exponentially.
There are some elements that can inhibit the growth of the market such as lack of awareness regarding health hazards associated with medical waste and lack of training for proper disposal of medical waste in underdeveloped countries.
Major market players such AS Bel-Art SP Scienceware, Fisher Scientific, Dynalon, and more are coming up with different products to capitalize the increasing demand for hazardous disposable bags. For instance, a company based in Illinois, United States, developed a new range of poly waste container bags in February 2021. These bags come in two colors-red for biohazard material handling and yellow for infectious linen medical waste.
The pandemic has boosted the biohazard bags business because strict safety regulations were implemented to stop the virus from spreading. As a result of the escalating COVID-19 cases in hospitals and other healthcare facilities around the world, enormous amounts of medical supplies, sterilants, and disinfectants were being used. This produced enormous amounts of medical waste as a result, which forced the government to create strict regulations for its disposal. These regulations cover everything from storage requirements to quantity and time limits, inspection, emergency planning, employee training, recordkeeping, and reporting. A situation like this is fostering market expansion of the biohazard bags.
