Market Trends of France Hospital Supplies Industry
Disposable Hospital Supplies Holds the Major Share in the Market Studied
- Disposable hospital supplies are products that are designed for one-time use only, such as medical apparatus, consumables, and disposable devices. These products are in high demand across all hospitals and are continuously used by hospital professionals, from cleaning to surgical theaters, as well as administrative departments.
- The increasing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections is expected to drive the demand for disposable hospital supplies. For example, the high population of sexually transmitted diseases in France has propelled the need for the usage of disposable exam gowns, gloves, and face masks, among others, in the hospitals of France, driving this segment's growth.
- In addition, the launch of innovative products by key market players in France is expected to lead to increased adoption of disposable hospital supplies, driving this segment's growth. For instance, Michelin's investment in the production of masks allows for the production of 3 million standard types I or IIR single-use surgical masks per month, leading to an increase in the adoption of surgical masks in hospitals.
- Overall, the adoption of disposable hospital supplies is continuously growing due to the rising concern for safety and cleanliness against hospital-acquired infections and maintaining hygiene across hospitals.

Increasing Incidence of Chronic Diseases is Expected to Propel the Market Growth
- The burden of chronic diseases in France is on the rise, leading to an increase in hospital admissions and demand for medical supplies. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), almost 3,942.9 thousand people in France were living with diabetes in 2021, and this number is expected to increase to 4,184.9 thousand by 2030 and 4,225.7 thousand by 2045. The growing burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes is anticipated to increase hospital visits, driving the demand for medical supplies and contributing to market growth.
- In addition, the number of cancer cases and diagnoses in France is also increasing significantly. According to the Global Cancer Observatory (Globocan) data from March 2021, colorectal cancer accounted for 22,280 (10.7%) new cancer cases in men and 22,280 (10.7%) in women during the year 2020. This trend is expected to fuel the demand for medical devices such as biopsy devices, catheters, tumor ablation devices, endoscopic and laparoscopic devices, and others, thereby contributing to market growth.
- Furthermore, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are creating a significant healthcare burden in France. According to a November 2022 article from PubMed, eating disorders are a public health concern in France due to their increasing prevalence and associated comorbidities. The study also found a high risk of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) among all patients with eating disorders. These GI diseases are driving the demand for GI endoscopic procedures and the devices used for such procedures, further contributing to market growth.
