Market Overview

The global sharps containers market size is projected to reach USD 624.1 million by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period. Increasing volume of biomedical waste produced around the world will be a central growth driver for this market, states Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Sharps Containers Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Multipurpose Containers, Patient Room Containers, Phlebotomy Containers), By Waste Generators (Hospitals, Pharmacies, Academic & Research Institutes, Others), By Usage (Reusable Containers and Single-Use Containers), By Waste Type (Sharps Waste, Infectious Waste), By Size (1–2 Gallons, 2–4 Gallons, 4–8 Gallons Others) and Regional Forecast, 2019 – 2026”. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 16 billion injections are administered every year, but a substantial chunk of the needles used are not disposed of properly. In 2010, the WHO reports, unsafe injections led to 33,800 new HIV infection and 1.7 million hepatitis B cases. Furthermore, a joint survey by WHO and UNICEF in 2015 found that more than 40% of health facilities in 24 countries lacked essential systems for safe biomedical waste disposal. These numbers highlight the critical need for efficient health waste disposal equipment, especially in developing countries, which bodes well for this market.

Market Driver

Rising Adoption of Reusable Sharps Containers to Favor Market Growth

Reusable medical waste disposal devices, as the name suggests, can used multiple times before they are discarded. With majority of biomedical refuse being generated in prominent healthcare facilities, the demand for reusable sharps containers is rising worldwide, mainly as a result of their environmental benefits. For example, these containers are primarily made from plastic and most of the single-use variants end up in landfills, thus causing land pollution. Besides plastic waste, these types of sharps disposal systems can also reduce cardboard waste. According to study quoted in Canada’s Hospital New magazine, utilizing reusable sharps containers for every 100 beds will annually bring down plastic waste generation by 3200 kilograms. Thus, as adoption of these disposal systems rises, the sharps containers market growth is set to surge in the coming years.
