Global plastic bandage Market is poised to value over US$ 3810 million by 2025
A plastic bandage is a small piece of plastic material that is used to support a medical
device, such as a dressing or splint, or to support or restrict the movement of a
body part. For abrasions, minor cuts, and puncture wounds, plastic bandages are
used as adhesive strips. These
bandages keep dirt, bacteria, and friction out of the wound. The healing
process slows down after an injury. Plastic bandages have antiseptic properties
that aid in wound healing, especially in cases of deep abrasion, burns, and
excessive bleeding. Plastic bandages are simple to use, store and are
inexpensive. Adhesive bandages are the most common type of plastic bandage.
Plastic materials for adhesive
bandages are synthetic, semi-synthetic, or organic compounds used to form
bandages. Plastic adhesive bandages are typically made of polyethylene,
polyurethane, or PVC film. Plastic bandages come in a variety of sizes and
styles.
An increase in the number of recreational activities, such as adventure sports, hunting, and trekking results in multiple cuts, abrasions, minor injuries, and wounds that require the use of plastic bandages.Globally, the number of road accidents is also increasing. Some non-fatal road injuries necessitate the immediate application of plastic bandages.According to STANFORD CHILDREN'S HEALTH, more than 3.5 million children aged 14 and under are injured in the United States each year while participating in sports or recreational activities.Other areas requiring adhesive bandages include an increase in the incidence rate of both domestic and workplace injuries.
Domestic activities, such as cooking, housework, falls, burns from hot drinks/cooking, and so on, are a major source of injury, particularly among women and children.According to an article published in A Secure Life, more than 3.4 million children in the United States suffers unintentional household injury each year.
The global
plastic bandages market is classified into three types: flexible fabric
bandages, cohesive fixation bandages, and others.
The global plastic bandages market was valued at 2580 million USD in 2018 and is expected
to grow to 3810 million USD by the end of 2025. In 2018, the flexible fabric
bandages type segment held the largest share of the global plastic bandages
market. This segment is
expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The
dominance of this segment can be attributed to an increase in the incidence
rate of injuries, particularly in the workplace and in households, which has
resulted in an increase in demand for plastic bandages. Furthermore, flexible
fabric bandages are water-resistant.
The global
plastic bandages market can be divided into three distribution channels:
hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online sales. Hospital pharmacies generated the
most revenues in 2018 and are expected to grow during the forecast period. This
can be attributed to an increase in the number of cases of accidental injuries
and their admission to hospitals and emergency clinics for treatment improved
first-aid facilities at hospitals and clinics, and well-equipped staff with
personal care facilities.
