Biohazard Bags Segmentation
Material (Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Biodegradable)
Based on the material, the polyethylene segment is anticipated to dominate the biohazard bags market with a share of 40.1% by the end of 2037. Its expanding applications in biomedical waste disposal and environmental safety compliance enable growth opportunities for global leaders. Testifying the increasing trade in this segment, in 2023, the U.S. imported USD 85.4 million worth of polyethylene resins, mainly from Canada and Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, as the EPA indicated, polyethylene-based biohazard bags are the go-to solution for medical waste containment in all healthcare facilities, reinforcing the worldwide demand for polyethylene-based biohazard bags.
Application (Hospitals, Laboratories, Pharmaceutical Industry)
In terms of applications, the hospitals segment is expected to hold the highest share of 45.3% in the biohazard bags market over the assessed timeline. The necessity of these organizations to maintain compliance with the regulatory framework, particularly due to the growing cases of HAI, this segment is being prioritized for being a major investor for this merchandise. In this regard, the CDC reported that the hospital waste management regulations became 20.2% more stringent in 2025, in comparison to 2024. Moreover, this tightened oversight, coupled with government initiatives, is amplifying the contribution of hospitals to greater revenue generation from biohazard disposal solutions and environmentally sustainable waste management.
