Market Overview:
The global swab market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for swabs in pharmaceutical, microbiological, and laboratory applications. Additionally, the growing awareness about hygiene and sanitation is also propelling the growth of the global swab market. Based on type, absorbent cotton accounted for a major share of the global swab market in 2017. This can be attributed to its high absorbency rate and ability to retain moisture. Non-absorbent cotton is also gaining popularity due to its low price and easy availability. Based on application, pharmaceuticals was the largest segment of the global swab market in 2017 owing to rising demand for sterile medical products worldwide.
Product Definition:
A swab is a small piece of cotton, cloth, or paper that is used to clean or absorb liquid. Swabs are often used to clean medical equipment or to take samples from the body.
Absorbent Cotton:
Absorbent cotton is a type of fabric that is made up of micro-filament yarns and has high absorbency. It can be used as an alternative to conventional cottons in various applications including medical, personal hygiene, household cleaning products and baby diapers. Absorbent cotton can also be used for the purpose of waste management as it is biodegradable in nature.
Non-Absorbent Cotton:
Non-absorbent cotton is a type of fiber that is used to manufacture swab. It has several uses in medical and laboratory fields. The product finds its major application in the testing of samples for trace substances such as drugs, explosives, bacteria & viruses, chemicals or toxins.
The non-absorbent cotton is moistened with the sample substance and then inserted into an electric current which kills all microorganisms present on the surface thus preventing contamination of subsequent tests.
Application Insights:
The other applications of the global swab market include food & beverage, textile testing, and others. The use of swabs for cleaning and disinfection in hospitals is anticipated to drive demand in the healthcare sector. Furthermore, increasing investments by pharmaceutical companies for product innovation is expected to boost segment growth over the forecast period.
The laboratory application segment accounted for a significant share in 2017 owing to an increase in government funding research activities related to infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis across the globe. Moreover, an increase in R&D spending on new diagnostic techniques related to these diseases has fueled segment growth over the past few years.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The presence of sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, high disease burden, and quick adoption of advanced technologies are some major factors responsible for its large share. Moreover, increasing government initiatives to promote hand hygiene practices is expected to fuel the demand for swabs in this region. For instance, CDC has launched a Hand hygiene guide for health care workers that includes guidance on how to prevent transmission of infections such as Ebola and H1N1 influenza via hands.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period owing to rising cases of COVID-19 infection worldwide coupled with stringent government regulations regarding biosafety & biosecurity at manufacturing facilities and laboratories handling pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. These factors are anticipated to drive product demand across Asia Pacific during the forecast period from 2018 To 2030 (USD X Million).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Swab products from the medical and healthcare sectors as a result of increasing awareness about hygiene and preventive measures.
- Rising demand for Swab products from the cosmetics industry as a result of increasing consumer preference for personal hygiene products.
- Growing demand for Swab products in emerging markets due to rising disposable incomes and growing population base.
- Technological advancements in Swab manufacturing that lead to introduction of new and innovative product variants in the market.
