The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing awareness about safe disposal of medical waste and rising demand for biohazardous and infectious waste bags. In addition, the growing number of hospitals, clinics, long term care centers, urgent care centers and other healthcare facilities are also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, the global medical waste bags market is segmented into biohazardous waste bags and infectious waste bags. Biohazardous Waste Bags are used for disposing off sharps such as needles or blades that may have come in contact with blood or other potentially hazardous body fluids from patients or laboratory specimens. Infectious Waste Bags are used for disposing off wastes that may contain pathogens which can cause infection in humans. Based on application, the global medical wastebags market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, long term care centers,, urgent care centers and other healthcare facilities . Hospitals account for a major share of this market due to increasing number of surgeries being performed every year globally . Clinics are also expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owingto rising prevalenceof chronic diseases such as cancer , diabetesand heart diseases .
Product Definition:
Medical waste bags are made specifically for the disposal of medical waste. They vary in size and thickness, but all are designed to prevent the spread of infection or disease. Medical waste bags can be used to store medical waste until it can be disposed of properly, or they can be used to line a trashcan for medical waste.
Biohazardous Waste Bags:
Biohazardous waste bags, it's a type of medical waste bag designed for the collection and storage of bio-hazardous medical waste. It is different from regular hazardous waste bags in that they are larger in size (2 gallons or more) and have additional grommets to facilitate easy handling and disposal. They are used to store various types of infectious agents such as blood, tissue, fluids & body parts.
