Growing Prevalence of Infectious Disease to Drive the Market Growth
The growth of the medical clothing market can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases across the globe. It is believed that, worldwide, more than 17 million people die every year owing to infectious diseases.

Some contagious illnesses can be transmitted from one person to another during a hospital stay as well; these are known as hospital-borne infections and can result in serious illness. As a result of such rapidly transmissible diseases, medical professionals are required to wear proper medical clothing while providing treatment in order to prevent infection. There are various types of infectious diseases such as chickenpox, hepatitis, influenza, and malaria, and the most prevalent of all is zoonotic disease. More than 30 newly discovered human pathogens have been identified as zoonoses in the past three decades, according to the World Health Organization, which estimates that zoonotic illnesses account for 60% of all emerging infectious diseases. In addition to this, rising awareness among people regarding infectious diseases and the importance of sanitization is estimated to propel market growth during the projected time period.
