Posted by Vikas Bahurupi on June 8th, 2018

Hospital linen supply and management services refers to the professional services that maintain the linen supply of the hospitals and healthcare institutions to ensure the optimum supply and hygiene of the linen material provided to the patients. Globally, increasing demand for the hygienic and sophisticated healthcare infrastructure coupled with increased government participation in increasing quality healthcare standards in the respective nations are the major growth drivers.

The global rise in proportionate old age population in major economies and declining birth rate and consequent rise in outsourcing of hospital linen services by major hospital chains is expected to fuel the growth of the global hospital linen supply and management services market in the coming future. The companies operating in the market also provide laundry services apart from linen supply and other outsourced value added services to remain competitive and increase its market share.

However, the market is restrained by rise in cost of raw materials and pricing pressure, particularly in the production of linen materials of excellent quality. The market is expected to expand at CAGR of 2.4%, from US.6 Billion in 2016 to US.2 billion by 2024.
