GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING MILITARY BELT MARKETCOVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained due to Increase in Demand for the PPEs

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic played a major role in enhancing the growth of the market for these medical crepe papers. That is why when the virus began to spread across the world and health care centres could not control the virus spread, they noted an increase in demand for the PPEs and wound care. Crepe paper, one of the most effective products for absorbent and tensile strength, is used in different areas of medicine. It was applied for use on the liners of loose wound dressings, on tender skin for protective reasons, and in splints and cast supports. Higher focus placed on hygiene and infection control measures during the pandemic boosted sales of this medical crepe paper and thus market growth.

LATEST TRENDS

"Environmentally Friendly Products to Propel the Market Growth"

Currently, manufacturers are leaning toward the production of biodegradable and environmentally friendly products, something that complements the demand for sustainable health care products. Current advancements in manufacturing technology are resulting in better product quality, higher absorbency, and greater tensile strength. Crepe paper uses are going beyond the clusters of the health care market, particularly in wound care, medical packaging, and sterilisation wraps, as well as a component of disposable surgical gowns. This has made it easy for manufacturers to provide products for particular healthcare requirements by displaying variants in size, thickness, and absorption.

Disposable Medical Crepe Paper MARKET SEGMENTATION

 By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Whole Wood Pulp & Mixed Slurry

• Whole Wood Pulp: One is an all-wood pulp product that delivers a high degree of absorbency and tensile strength. It is widely applied for the production of wound dressings, surgical gowns, and drapes, as well as medical packaging conversive products.
• Mixed Slurry: It is made of both wooden pulp and recycled fibre content. This sort is ideal in the middle of absorption capacity, durability, and price, thus appropriate for the variety of medicinal uses of bandages, dressings, nappies, and protector shields.

By Downstream Industry 

Based on application the market can be categorized into Sterilization Wrap, Tray Liner & Overwrap

• Sterilisation Wrap: This is used for wrapping medical instruments and other medical accessories with a view of avoiding cross-infection when sterilizing. It also assists in absorbing moisture in items to be wrapped before sterilisation can be done effectively.
• Tray Liner: They are employed for use as package liner to ensure that instruments and supplies do not touch the tray. This is beneficial in avoiding contamination from one site to the other in the waste and water.
• Overwrap: This can be used for giving an overwrap to pack medical instruments and supplies. It plays a role in shielding the product from dust, moisture, and other contaminants to help ensure sterility.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market Dynamics Include Driving and Restraining Factors, Opportunities and Challenges Stating the Market Conditions.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Rising Healthcare Expenditure to Expand the Market"

One of the key driving factors of Disposable Medical Crepe Paper Market growth is the Rising Healthcare Expenditure. Today, there is ever-rising healthcare expenditure around the world, hence the high usage of disposable medical products such as crepe paper. This is particularly apparent in nations within the developing world that continue to develop their healthcare systems.

"Increasing Focus on Hygiene and Infection Control to Advance the Market"

Ongoing respect for cleanliness and infection prevention after the current coronavirus outbreak increases the popularity of disposable medical products such as crepe paper used for dressings, sterilisation, and protective barriers.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Analogous Materials to Pose Potential Impediments on this Market"

It will be a major threat to the Disposable Medical Crepe Paper Market share that is closely orientated to usage of materials with such a function; increasing availability of analogous materials. In addition to crepe paper, some of the other materials with specific characteristics such as absorbency and tensile strength—nonwoven fabrics, synthetic polymers, etc.—are also used for medical purposes. It had to embody the possible benefits in cost, product endurance, or certain performance criteria for these alternatives and a possible constraining factor in the crepe paper market.

OPPORTUNITY

"Green Products to Create Opportunity in this Market"

A major opportunity factor that is driving this market is the current focus on green products and, therefore, sustainable products. Due to the increase in public concern coupled with that of the healthcare organisations to environmental issues, green and biodegradable products are being sought after. Crepe paper, which is derived from natural resources, for example, wood pulp, can therefore be marketed under this new policy as a green product offered to the market, displacing other synthetic products.

CHALLENGE

"Raw Material Price Fluctuation to Pose Potential Challenge on this Market"

Raw material price fluctuation is likely to be a significant challenging factor in this market. Wood pulp is the main input for crepe paper, and it is an element whose prices may be affected by a number of factors, like but not limited to global economic status, consumers’ demand, and government regulations on the environment. Often crepe paper manufacturing firms may sell the raw material at a high or low price; this would affect the manufacturing firms since crepe papers depend on the material used and hence affect the price depending on this resource.
