The increasing frequency of hospital admissions is anticipated to drive the expansion of the hospital gown market in the future. Hospital admissions involve the formal process of patients being admitted to healthcare facilities for medical treatment or care. Factors contributing to the rise in hospital admissions include population growth, aging demographics, advancements in medical technology leading to more intricate treatments, and higher incidences of chronic illnesses necessitating hospitalization. Hospital gowns play a crucial role in facilitating hospital admissions by ensuring infection control, facilitating medical examinations, enhancing patient comfort, and optimizing operational efficiency, thereby upholding stringent standards of safety and hygiene. For example, in May 2024, as reported by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a governmental organization in Australia, there was a notable increase of 18.1% in the total number of patients admitted for surgery from waiting lists for elective surgery at public hospitals, reaching 735,500 patients compared to the previous year of 2021-2022. Hence, the escalating rate of hospital admissions contributes significantly to the expansion of the hospital gowns market.
