Medical Scrubs Market Analysis
The Medical Scrubs Market size is estimated at USD 84.89 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 116.06 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.45% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The major factors driving the market are the increasing adoption of medical scrubs, the growing number of healthcare facilities and medical schools, the rising number of hospital admissions and surgical procedures, and increasing concerns about hospitalized acquired infections.
The increasing adoption of medical scrubs due to the benefits offered is expected to increase the demand for medical scrubs during the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in January 2024, the utilization of medical scrubs has increased due to the benefits offered by the medical scrubs, such as practicality, comfort, and hygiene properties to healthcare professionals to prevent hospital-acquired infections. Hence, the increasing utilization of medical scrubs is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
Also, the rising number of hospitals and medical schools increases the demand for medical scrubs to demonstrate uniformity and professionalism in healthcare facilities, enhancing healthcare institutions' overall image. For instance, the Government of the United Kingdom, in February 2024, committed to build 40 new hospitals in England by 2030 as part of the New Hospital Program. Hence, the significant number of hospitals increases the demand for medical scrubs, which ultimately drives the market during the forecast period.
Also, the increasing strategic activities, such as the launch of new products by key players, are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. For instance, in May 2022, Boston Ivy Healthcare Solutions Private Limited, a B2B platform, launched Nexage, a premium scrub brand for modern healthcare workers. This brand includes products such as Medical Scrubs Woman Top, Medical Scrubs Men Top, Medical Scrubs Woman Bottom, Medical Scrubs Men Bottom, and Scrub Bottom. Hence, the launch of such brands increases the accessibility and utilization of medical scrubs, ultimately driving the market during the forecast period.
Thus, the rising adoption of customized medical apparel, increasing the number of hospitals and medical schools, and growing strategic activities such as the launch of new products are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. However, the high cost of medical scrubs and high regulatory standards are expected to restrain the market during the forecast period.
