Hospital Acquired Infection Control Market Dynamics:

The hospital acquired infection control market is witnessing a growth in product demand owing to various reasons.

The increasing prevalence of hospital acquired infection globally is anticipated to bolster the market for hospital acquired infection control during the forecasted period. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO) 2022, it was estimated that globally hundreds of millions of people every year are affected by health care-associated infections (HAIs), many of which are completely avoidable. As per the same source, it was reported that out of every 100 patients, 7 patients are in high- and 15 patients in low-/middle-income countries. WHO also concluded that globally, 1 in every 10 affected patients dies of the hospital acquired infection.

Moreover, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2020 Annual National and State Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Progress Report, it was estimated that between 2019 and 2020 in the United States, about 24% increase is seen in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) with largest increase in infections transmitted from ICU. From the above stats it can be concluded that, the prevalence of hospital acquired infection is increasing globally. The increasing prevalence and mortality from the infection can be controlled by following proper measures such as maintaining proper hand hygiene, wearing mask, gloves, and other protective gears, disinfecting the area subjected to contamination, and following proper sterilization of all the equipment used in the hospitals, owing to increase the demand of hospital acquired infection control products. Thus, propelling the overall market growth of hospital acquired infection control products in the year 2023 - 2028.

Additionally, the rise in prevalence of chronic diseases like IBD, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, crohn's disease, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, and others due to environmental pollution, smoking, unhealthy lifestyles, poor nutrition and diet, and high intake of carcinogenic substances will drive the market of hospital acquired infection control devices. For instance, according to International Diabetes Federation, Diabetes Atlas 10th edition report 2022, globally 537 million adults (20-79 years) are living with diabetes. This number is predicted to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. The rising prevalence of chronic disease will also increase the number of surgical procedures. The increasing number of surgeries will increase the risk of hospital acquired infections. The transition of infections can be ceased by following proper sterilization and disinfectant techniques. Therefore, the rising number of surgical procedures owing to the rising prevalence of chronic disorders may increase the prevalence of hospital acquired infections ultimately increasing the demand of hospital acquired infection control product. Thus the above factor is anticipated to increase the overall market growth of the hospital acquired infection control products in the year 2023 - 2028.

Another factor which will affect the market in the year 2023 - 2028 is the increasing number of geriatric population. According to WHO 2019, in the year 2019, the number of people aged 60 years and older were 1 billion. This number is expected to increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. This increase is occurring at an unprecedented pace and is expected to accelerate in coming decades, particularly in developing countries. The possibility of having a chronic disorder or cancer is higher in the older age, so as the number of geriatric population is increasing, this will increase the probability of increasing prevalence of a chronic ailment in geriatric population. This will lead to an increase in the number of in-patient hospital stay, further leading to increased risk of hospital acquired infection. This will ultimately increase the demand of hospital acquired infection control products, thereby bolstering the overall market growth.

However, the adverse effects of chemical disinfectants and higher cost of advanced sterilization instruments may act as a limiting factors of the hospital acquired infection control products market growth.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the market for hospital acquired infection control. At the onset of the disease, there was a significant shortage in the devices, attributed to the imposition of stringent lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus so the production of some medical devices was shut down. However, the infection control devices were used in pandemic to avoid the transmission of the infection. Admission of patients suffering from coronavirus was higher in the hospitals so the demand of infection control devices increased during the pandemic. Moreover, the hospital acquired infection was one of the major risk factor for patients suffering from coronavirus. Therefore, the increasing number of hospital acquired infection during the pandemic increased the demand of the infection control products globally, thereby impacting the overall market positively.
