Increase in Adoption of Infection Control Measures – Rise in incidence of infectious diseases, increase in adoption of measures for infection control, and growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria are fueling the medical shoe covers market. Adoption of infection control measures is increasing, as these measures help prevent the spread of infections in healthcare facilities. Conversely, this could lead to increased mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs.

Implementation of Stringent Regulations – Governments and health departments have introduced regulations to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and patients. These regulations entail the usage of protective gear, including medical shoe covers, to prevent the spread of infections.
Regulations for the safety of healthcare workers and patients vary between countries and regions. Safety regulations of several countries mandate healthcare facilities to provide safety gear to their employees and ensure that they are used in appropriate situations.
In the U.S., the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates the use of PPE, including medical shoe covers, for the safety of healthcare workers. Likewise, the European Union has introduced regulations for the safety of healthcare workers from infectious diseases.
Efficacy Against Contamination Fueling Polypropylene Segment – Based on material, the polypropylene segment is anticipated to account for the leading market share during the forecast period.
Polypropylene is an inexpensive material compared to other materials such as vinyl and nitrile rubber. Medical shoe covers are usually disposable, and thus, polypropylene is an attractive option.
Polypropylene medical shoe covers provide effective barrier against contamination despite being made of an inexpensive material.
Strict Infection Control Measures in Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centers – In terms of end-user, the hospitals & ambulatory surgical centers segment held the leading share of the market in 2022.. Usage of medical shoe covers helps prevent the transfer of germs from the outside environment into operating rooms and patient care areas.
Hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers have the high volume of people on foot that are constantly moving in and out. These settings often have highly vulnerable patient population, such as very young, elderly, and critically ill, that requires the highest level of cleanliness to prevent infections.
