The global mortuary bags market is forecasted to grow significantly over the coming decade, reaching an estimated valuation of USD 656.61 million by 2033, at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2023 to 2033. Recent analysis reveals that the market, initially valued at USD 392.62 million in 2022, is set to approach USD 410.44 million by the end of 2023, marking a steady increase fueled by various healthcare demands and rising global mortality rates.
A primary factor bolstering this market’s expansion is the global rise in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), coupled with a rapidly aging population and a surge in various other health conditions contributing to higher death rates worldwide. Mortuary bags play a critical role in healthcare, morgues, funeral homes, and hospitals, where these durable, non-porous bags are essential for the respectful handling and safe transport of deceased individuals.
Designed specifically to contain human remains securely and prevent leakage of bodily fluids, mortuary bags are invaluable for maintaining hygienic conditions and facilitating efficient post-mortem procedures. In addition to healthcare settings, the increasing incidence of fatal road accidents—often linked to insufficient helmet usage, adverse road conditions, substance misuse, and speeding—has further spurred demand for mortuary bags. Additionally, fatalities resulting from crime, suicide, and various natural calamities are contributing to this rising market need.
The spread of infections and novel viruses, along with other non-communicable diseases, are also significant drivers of demand. Globalization and increased connectivity have heightened the risk of widespread infections, further necessitating secure containment solutions for deceased individuals to prevent contamination risks. As healthcare facilities, pathology departments, and forensic units emphasize dignified and sanitary post-mortem practices, mortuary bags have become indispensable in meeting these requirements.
With these factors at play, the mortuary bags market is well-positioned for steady growth over the forecast period, addressing a critical need within global health and emergency response infrastructures.
