Healthcare Is the Fastest Growing Category in Promo

Healthcare has become the category worth paying attention to in promotional products. Distributors who already have a healthcare client, even just one, are sitting on more opportunity than they might realize.

ASI's 2026 State of the Industry report backs that up. Healthcare gained more industry sales share than any other sector this year, more proof that the category is outgrowing the rest of the market rather than just riding along with it.

You Already Have the Client

Most distributors have a healthcare account somewhere in their book already, whether that's a dental office, a hospital system, a home health agency, or a veterinary practice. What often goes untapped in that relationship is the scrubs and uniform program sitting right next to it.

Staff need uniforms regardless of budget cycles or what the broader economy is doing. Most healthcare employers also require branded uniforms for security and quality-of-care reasons, which makes it a recurring need rather than a one-time order. The client relationship is already there. The scrubs business inside it is often still up for grabs.

Scrub Authority Is Built to Go After It

23 leading scrub brands, plus outerwear, footwear, business attire, and casual apparel, give a distributor everything needed to build a full program around a healthcare client, not just a scrub top and pants order.
