North America Single-Use Medical Device Reprocessing Market Analysis
The North America Single-Use Medical Device (SUD) reprocessing market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period. Rising clinical urgency to minimize the generation of medical waste in healthcare settings and hospitals is among the key factors driving market growth. Growth of the single-use medical devices is also expected to be spurred by the increase in FDA-approved critical and non-critical cardiovascular reprocessed devices, which hold a large share of the single-use devices used in healthcare.
A single hospital can divert over a ton of devices from the waste stream each year. According to the Association of Medical Device Reprocessors (AMDR), as of 2017, more than 3,000 US hospitals were purchasing reprocessed SUDs, and saving more than USD 600,000 annually, through their recycling and redistribution initiatives.
Along with cost reduction, it also results in environmental sustainability. SUD reprocessing is one of the top healthcare supply chain strategies used to reduce costs and optimize resources. The aforementioned factors are anticipated to contribute towards the development of industry in the immediate future. However, the lack of dedicated SUD reprocessing facilities in emerging markets is currently a huge opportunity for this market, while the unauthorized overuse of reprocessed SUDs in emerging markets is currently the major challenge faced by this market.
