With rising nosocomial infections, the demand for preventive services will increase, thereby increasing the need for linen management.

The growth is attributed to increasing number of hospitals and the availability of various kinds of bed sheets. Additionally, advantages of bedsheets including stain-release properties that make them look newer will increase their demand.

Several advantages by the use of non-woven linens such as ease of customization, low cost, robustness, light weight, environmental awareness, and easy disinfection will highly impact non-woven material linen segment revenue share over the upcoming years.
