Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2024-2036

Biohazard Bags Market size was over USD 443.47 million in 2023 and is anticipated to cross USD 993.36 million by 2036, growing at more than 6.4% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2024-2036. In the year 2024, the industry size of biohazard bags is assessed at USD 466.18 million.

Biomedical waste or biohazard waste is any waste that contains infectious materials and is generated from the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diseases. The infectious substances could be human bodily fluids, microbiological, pathological, animal waste, sharps, human/animal tissue, used bandages and dressings, discarded gloves, and other. Bio Hazard bags are created to collect and dispose of this waste.

Bio hazard bags are labeled, colored, and marked separately for different types of hospital waste, as per the healthcare standards. On top of the high health risks associated with poor management of medical waste, it can negatively impact the environment and there are substantial risks of pollution of water, air, and soil.

According to WHO, poor management of bio waste (used needles & syringes, soiled dressings, body parts, diagnostic samples, blood, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and radioactive materials) potentially uncover patients, healthcare workers, waste handlers and community at large to toxic effects, infection and injuries.

For sharps such as needles, surgical tools, and other contaminated metal items, bags are generally made from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) material. According to FDA guidelines, all sharps disposal containers should be made of heavy-duty plastic, able to close with a tight-fitting puncture-resistant lid, upright and stable during use, leak-resistant, and accurately labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container.

Biohazard Bags Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth

  • Increased demand for bio hazards bag owing to COVID 19 pandemic
    The current coronavirus pandemic has boosted the demand for bio hazards bags across the globe. With increasing patients, there is a lot of biomedical waste generated which requires proper disposal to protect human health and the environment. 

    “Gient”, China’s biggest professional supplier of medical waste treatment equipment is assisting the Govt. of Wuhan to construct a biowaste treatment plant that will operate 24 hours per day, processing 30 tons daily. Wuhan was the first city to witness the impact of COVID 19 pandemic leading to a large amount of infectious medical waste.

    Additionally, stringent regulations for effective bio hazard waste management in developed countries has also contributed towards the growth of the biohazard bags market.
  • Growing healthcare sector:In 2018, WHO estimated that in high-income countries, around 0.5 kg of hazardous waste is generated from each hospital bed daily, and in low-income countries, it is around 0.2 kgs.

    Therefore, hospitals are the largest generators of biohazardous waste and are anticipated to contribute significantly towards the growth of biohazard bags market in the forecast period.

Challenges

  • Growth constraints owing to developing economies
    In emerging economies such as India, China, and MEA, there is a general lack of awareness regarding health hazards, lack of training for proper disposal methods, and waste care being operated without authorization under Biomedical Waste Management Rules, which might hamper the global market growth of biohazard bags market.
