The global mortuary bags market is poised for substantial growth over the next decade, with an estimated valuation of USD 656.61 million by 2033, representing a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% from 2023 to 2033. This increase is driven by a combination of healthcare demand, global mortality rates, and the growing incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and other health-related conditions worldwide.
The market, initially valued at USD 392.62 million in 2022, is projected to approach USD 410.44 million by the end of 2023, highlighting a steady upward trajectory. Mortuary bags are vital tools in ensuring the safe and respectful handling, transportation, and storage of deceased individuals in healthcare facilities, morgues, funeral homes, and hospitals. Their non-porous and durable design prevents leakage of bodily fluids, supporting hygienic conditions and facilitating efficient post-mortem procedures.
A primary factor driving the market’s expansion is the rise in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), alongside a rapidly aging global population. The increasing prevalence of other health issues, coupled with higher mortality rates, is contributing to the increased demand for mortuary bags. The demand is further bolstered by the growing frequency of fatal road accidents, crime-related fatalities, suicides, and natural disasters.
The ongoing global health challenges, including the spread of infectious diseases and novel viruses, also play a significant role in spurring demand for mortuary bags. With heightened global connectivity and the risk of contamination, these bags are crucial for containing deceased individuals securely, minimizing the spread of infection, and maintaining sanitary conditions.
As healthcare systems, pathology departments, and forensic units emphasize dignified and hygienic post-mortem practices, mortuary bags have become an indispensable part of the global health infrastructure. Their role in supporting safe transport, storage, and handling of human remains underscores their critical importance in healthcare and emergency response.
With steady market growth expected throughout the forecast period, the global mortuary bags market is set to continue addressing vital needs within public health and emergency services, contributing to the safe and respectful treatment of deceased individuals.
