• Higher Investment and Expenditure on Healthcare

• Growth of Hospitals Across the Globe

In 2019, there were around 1300 hospitals in Australia, nearly 11,000 hospitals in Colombia, and approximately 3000 hospitals in Germany.

Challenges

• Allergy to Latex-Made Medical Clothing
• Stringent Government's Rules & Regulation on the Manufacturing
• Lack of Skilled Professionals — A lack of medical professionals is anticipated to push the population further away from using medical clothing. The absence of proper training and investments made in grooming individuals for using medical clothing makes it more difficult to adopt medical clothing in the healthcare sector.
