Hospital supplies encompass items necessary for patient care, serving therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, such as dressings, catheters, or syringes.
The primary categories of hospital supplies include disposable hospital supplies, sterilization equipment, disinfectants, mobility aids, transportation equipment, and operating room equipment. Disposable hospital supplies are designed for single-use and are intended for temporary or one-time use. They are user-friendly, do not necessitate maintenance, and are disposed of after use. The expenditure for these supplies comes from both public and private sources. The utilized products include instruments/equipment and disposables. Hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories, and various other entities represent the end-users of these supplies.
Tariffs are impacting the hospital supplies market by increasing costs of imported medical disposables, sterilization equipment, operating room devices, mobility aids, and electronic monitoring systems. Healthcare providers in North America and Europe are most affected due to heavy reliance on imported supplies, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-driven medical manufacturing. These tariffs are increasing procurement expenses and affecting hospital budgeting decisions. However, they are also encouraging domestic production, regional supplier diversification, and investments in resilient and localized medical supply chains.

The growing number of hospitals is expected to drive the growth of the hospital supplies market in the coming years. A hospital is a facility designed to provide medical or surgical treatment to individuals who are ill or have sustained injuries. The rise in the number of hospitals is largely driven by the increasing demand for healthcare services, fueled by aging populations and longer patient stays, which require expanded capacity and modernized facilities. Hospitals rely on a wide range of medical supplies and equipment to deliver high-quality care. For example, in May 2023, a report published by the American Hospital Association (AHA), a US-based healthcare trade organization representing hospitals and healthcare networks, revealed that the total number of hospitals had increased to 6,129, up from 6,093 in 2022. Additionally, total hospital admissions in the U.S. reached 34,011,386 in 2023, compared to 33,356,853 in 2022. As a result, the increasing number of hospitals is expected to fuel the growth of the hospital supplies market.
Major companies in the hospital supplies market are increasingly focusing on advanced injectable delivery systems designed to address the challenges of next-generation biologics, particularly high-viscosity formulations. These innovations aim to reduce injection force and enhance patient comfort, making it easier for pharmaceutical developers to administer more concentrated therapies safely and efficiently via subcutaneous injection. For example, in September 2024, BD (Becton, Dickinson & Co.), a US-based medical technology company, introduced the BD Neopak XtraFlow syringe. This new design features an 8mm needle length and a thinner-wall cannula, specifically engineered to reduce injection force and time for higher-viscosity drug profiles. To meet growing demand, BD also expanded its manufacturing capacity at its Le Pont-de-Claix, France facility by adding a high-volume production line that increases output sevenfold. By lowering the mechanical barriers associated with viscous biologic injections, BD enables more concentrated, high-dose therapies-such as antibodies and GLP-1 formulations-to be delivered more comfortably and reliably to patients.
In July 2024, AA Medical, a US-based supplier of refurbished medical equipment, acquired Surgical Product Solutions (SPS) for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, AA Medical aims to strengthen its hospital supplies portfolio by incorporating SPS's wide range of surgical consumables, further establishing itself as a comprehensive third-party provider of medical supplies. Surgical Product Solutions, a US-based company, specializes in surgical disposables and supplies.
