Increase in Generation of Medical Waste Fuels North America Sharps Containers Market

Healthcare facilities are primarily responsible for collecting, separating, and disposing of the medical, infectious, and hazardous waste they generate. Increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, rising number of hospital visits and admissions, and growing demand for diagnostic and clinical testing contribute to the generation of large amounts of single-use waste. The resulting medical waste is excluded from general waste disposal and must be disposed of effectively. According to the World Health Organization, 16 million injections are used worldwide each year, but there need to be proper disposal options. In the US, with its advanced healthcare facilities, exposure to bloodborne pathogens from needles and other sharp objects is a serious problem, resulting in 385,000 incidents yearly. 85% of all medical waste generated is general non-hazardous waste, and the remaining 15% is hazardous waste containing harmful microorganisms. Therefore, medical waste disposal is the need of the hour, which is increasing the demand for sharps containers worldwide.

In addition, large-scale vaccination programs are being carried out in different parts of the world to counteract the further emergence and spread of the pandemic, which is expected to have a significant impact on the market under study. For example, according to the World Health Organization's Coronavirus Dashboard, ~12.5 billion vaccines were administered worldwide by the end of August 2022, which generated a significant number of syringes as waste. Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the North America sharps container market significantly.

The generation of a large amount of medical waste is increasing the demand for sharps containers for the proper disposal of these medical wastes, thereby boosting the market growth.

North America Sharps Containers Market Overview

The North America sharps containers market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The region holds a significant share of the North America sharps containers market. The North America sharps containers market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiac diseases. Moreover, a rise in hospitalization and surgeries is likely to offer growth opportunities to the market during the forecast period. In the US, there is a standard practice for patients to deposit their needles, syringes, and other medical waste products with their curbside trash. Medical waste from hospitals and healthcare organizations is highly regulated in the US. Medical waste is collected only by certified medical waste hauling and disposal companies; the waste is then autoclaved and placed in a landfill.

According to an article titled "Summary of Information on The Safety and Effectiveness of Syringe Services Programs (SSPs)," published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—the US has seen an increase in injection drug use, primarily the injection of opioids. Outbreaks of hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and HIV infections have been correlated with these injection patterns and trends. The majority of new hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are due to injection drug use, and the nation has witnessed an exponential increase in reported cases of HCV from 2010 to 2019. Furthermore, the incidences of 5 new HCV virus infections are increasing rapidly among young people, with the majority of cases being among individuals aged 20–39 years.

Moreover, the prevalence of chronic illnesses such as Crohn's disease and diabetes, which can be treated with self-injectable medication, is rising across the US. Major corporations such as BD and Smiths Medical are also making syringes, such as BD's Hypak SCF PRTC glass pre-fillable syringe, specifically for the treatment of chronic diseases to strengthen their market positions. Additionally, in May 2021, BD stated that it plans to expand its Diabetes Care division into a distinct, publicly traded company. BD Diabetes Care, which supports ~30 million patients annually and produces approximately 8 billion injection devices, has been a significant driver of the adoption of insulin syringes and other products in the country.

Therefore, the rising cases of diabetes and needlestick injuries and growing government initiatives are expected to boost the North America sharps containers market growth in the US during the forecast period.
