The Asia-Pacific hospital gowns market growth evaluation includes the analysis of Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Australia & New Zealand, South Korea, India, Thailand, and Rest of Asia-Pacific. The hospital gowns market in China has experienced significant growth in recent years, which is expected to continue. Several factors, such as the rapid rise in the geriatric population of the country, the increase in the prevalence of various diseases, and the expansion of healthcare facilities, drive the growth. 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), China had approximately 254 million individuals aged 60 or above and 176 million 65 or above in 2019. By 2040, it is expected that over 28% of the total population, or about 402 million people, will be over the age of 60 years. Additionally, there has been an increase in the prevalence of various diseases across the country, which is anticipated to further supplement the growth of the China hospital gowns market during the forecast period.

On the other hand, the hospital gowns market in South Korea is poised to experience significant growth during the forecast period due to several key factors. The rise in medical tourism, an increase in surgical procedures, and a growing geriatric population are some of the primary drivers of this growth. South Korea has become an attractive destination for medical tourism due to its advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques, robotic and endoscopic operations, and cutting-edge technology for treatment. 

The Asia-Pacific hospital gowns market segmentation analysis includes usability, protection level, type, and end-user. Market by type covers non-surgical gowns, surgical gowns, and patient gowns.

Surgical gowns are a critical form of personal protective equipment utilized by medical professionals during surgical procedures to protect against the transmission of pathogens, bodily fluids, and foreign materials. These gowns fall under the classification of Class II medical devices, which are subject to FDA regulations and require a 510(k) premarket notification. Due to the controlled nature of surgical procedures, national guidelines have established critical protection zones, with the front of the body and arms being particularly important. All surgical gowns must be provided in a sterile state and marked as such on their packaging. These garments can be used across all risk levels, ranging from 1 to 4.

The market for surgical gowns is poised for significant growth during the forecast period, driven by several key factors. These include an increase in the number of surgical procedures, product advancements and launches by market players, and other factors. For instance, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) published an article in July 2020 indicating that 310 million major surgeries are performed each year globally.
