Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/19/2018 -- Global Medical Waste Containers Market - Snapshot

Medical waste consists of discarded biological products removed from health care facilities. The 1988 Medical Waste Tracking Act defines medical waste as the waste material generated during medical research, testing, diagnosis, immunization, or treatment of either human beings or animals. Disposal of medical waste is a major challenge faced by health care providers. Medical waste is composed of contaminated blood, body fluids, body parts, infectious sharps, or other potentially hazardous biological material. Medical waste containers are used by waste generators to collect waste that is generated by health care facilities. They are available in different designs depending upon the type of waste that is to be collected. Containers are defined by specific colors and labels to make them distinguishable from others.

In terms of medical waste generator, the global medical waste containers market has been segmented into hospitals, clinics & physicians' offices, pharmaceutical companies, long-term care & urgent care centers, pharmacies, and others. Large quantity of medical waste being generated by multispecialty hospitals and rise in number of hospitals in developing countries are major factors responsible for the estimated rapid expansion of the hospitals segment in the coming years. The long-term care & urgent care centers segment is likely to expand at a slower pace during the forecast period, owing to the lack of well-equipped long-term care & urgent care centers in developing regions. Based on usage, the global medical waste containers market has been classified into reusable containers and disposable containers. Reusable containers accounted for a dominant market share in terms of revenue in 2017, which is attributable to the rise in sharps and hazardous waste in small and medium quantity waste generators and increased surgical procedures across the globe.
