OPERATING TABLE DRAPES HAVE TO BE SINGLE USE TO ENSURE ZERO INFECTION

SURGICAL GOWNS HAVE TO BE SINGLE USE TO PREVENT CROSS INFECTION

SINGLE USE GOWNS CAN BE ENGINEERED TO HAVE BARRIER PROPERTIES BETTER THAN TO DURABLE AND RESUABLE GOWNS ON CONSISTENCE BASIS

SUMMARY…

GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPING LOCAL BRANDS IN A GROWING HEALTHCARE MARKET WHICH IS EXPECTED TO TOUCH $ 34 BILLION

EXPECTED DISPOSABLE CONSUMPTION IS 15% OF TOTAL MARKET

AVAILABILITY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF NONWOVEN ROLL GOODS INCREASING

SUMMARY

MAJOR WORLD PLAYERS ENTERING INDIAN MARKET AND EDUCATING POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS GIVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIVATE LABEL PLAYERS

SCOPE FOR MANY REGIONAL PLAYERS WITH SMALL INVESTMENT AND SHORT PAYBACK COMPARED TO OTHER PROJECTS

SCOPE FOR EXPORTS AS INDIA CAN BE COMPETITIVE AGAINST CHINA IN THESE PRODUCTS
