The global hospital bedsheet & pillow cover market size is expected to reach USD 8.1 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing number of surgeries performed and hospitalizations, is the key factor driving the market growth.

Of these infections Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) account for 32%, Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) hold 22%, pneumonia (lung infections) holds 15%, and bloodstream infections account for 14%. Thus, with increasing cases of nosocomial infections, the demand for preventive services will increase, thereby, boosting the demand for hospital pillow covers and bedsheets.

A lot of hospitals and healthcare centers are considerably focusing on upgrading the quality of infrastructure and hygiene, efficacy, and maintenance of operational systems.
