Infection Prevention and Control - Market Insights, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast - 2030

The global infection prevention and control market is poised for significant growth, projected to achieve a remarkable Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.13% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030. The demand for infection prevention and control is primarily being boosted by the increasing prevalence of increasing incidence of chronic diseases, the growing number of surgical procedures that require high-intensity infection prevention, growing figures of hospital-acquired infections, the rising number of government initiatives to ensure a high degree of infection prevention, growing healthcare industry, increasing product launches, and innovation in product development among others, thereby contribute to the overall growth of the infection prevention and control market during the forecast period from 2024-2030.

Infection Prevention And Control Market Dynamics:

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 the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022, it was estimated that globally hundreds of millions of people every year are affected by healthcare-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 or middle-income countries. WHO also concluded that globally, 1 in every 10 affected patients dies of a hospital-acquired infection.

From the above figures, 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 masks, gloves, and other protective gear, disinfecting the area subjected to contamination, and following proper sterilization of all the equipment used in the hospitals; thereby increasing the demand of infection prevention and control products across the globe. Thus, the above factor will be responsible in propelling the overall market growth of infection prevention and control during the forecast period.

The rise in prevalence of chronic diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (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 infection prevention and control product and devices.

For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation, Diabetes Atlas 10th edition report 2021, globally 537 million adults (20-79 years) were living with diabetes in 2021. 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 which in turn will increase the risk of infections. The transition of infections can be ceased by following proper sterilization and disinfectant techniques and also by using various infection prevention and control products such as hand or surface disinfectant, gloves, masks, and others.

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 for infection prevention and control products.

In addition, government agencies are likely to play a larger role in the market's growth throughout the forecast period as they become more active in the issuance of guidelines aimed at raising global awareness of effective preventive measures. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) has published guidelines for the healthcare industry's prevention and management of acute respiratory disorders that are susceptible to pandemics and epidemics. The recommendations cover anything from common sense safety measures like washing your hands often to using personal protective equipment and instructions for sterilizing and disinfecting.

Therefore, the above-mentioned factors will propel the infection prevention and control market during the forecast period from 2024-2030.

However, adverse effects of chemical disinfectants, stringent regulatory requirements with concerns for the safety of reprocessed instruments, and others may restrict the growth of the overall infection prevention and control market.

Infection Prevention And Control Market Segment Analysis:

Infection Prevention and Control Market by Product (Equipment [Sterilization Equipment {Heat Sterilization Equipment, Low-Temperature Sterilization Equipment, Radiation Sterilization, and Others} and Disinfectors {Washers, Flushes, Endoscope Reprocessors, and Others}] and Consumables [Disinfectants {Hand Disinfectants, Surface Disinfectants, Skin Disinfectants, and Others}, Personal Protective Equipment {Surgical Drapes, Surgical Gowns, Gloves, and Others}, Sterilization Consumables, Infectious Waste Disposal, and Others]), End-User (Hospitals & Clinics, Medical Device And Pharmaceutical Companies, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)

In the product type segment of the infection prevention and control market, the hand disinfectants category is expected to amass a significant revenue share in the year 2023. This can be ascribed to the advantages and applications associated with the segment.

Hand disinfectants take very little time to kill the bacteria or viruses present on any surface. Additionally, hand disinfectants are generally nontoxic, non-irritating, inexpensive, and non-allergenic.

Hand disinfectants are easily portable therefore they can be used anywhere. It not only kills germs but prevents the transmission of germs from one person to another.

Further, alcohol-based hand disinfectants effectively reduce the bacterial counts on hands better than soap and water. Alcohol-based hand disinfectants are more effective against most bacteria and many viruses than either medicated or non-medicated soaps.

In addition, the usage of hand disinfectants was higher in hospitals during the pandemic as the number of hospitalizations increased during this time. The prime aim of hand disinfectants was to provide protection in healthcare facilities and safeguard personnel performing medical procedures that expose them to the virus.

Moreover, the product launches in the local market, in turn, drive the product demand in the market. For instance, in May 2020, Dukes India launched hand sanitizers, a type of hand disinfectant named Hand Safe, to help combat the COVID-19 virus.

Also, in June 2020, Cadila Pharmaceuticals launched a range of hand sanitizers, under the brand name Santiza and Laglo.

Therefore, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the hand disinfectants category is expected to register significant growth, thereby driving the growth of the overall infection prevention and control market during the forecast period.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Infection Prevention And Control Market:

Among all the regions, North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the infection prevention and control market in the year 2023. Owing to the significance of key growth factors such as the growing incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, kidney disease, Crohn’s disease, growing incidence of hospital-acquired infections and the high geriatric population, and high awareness about the advantages of proper infection prevention and control, consistent number of strategic collaborations, growing presence of outsourcing organizations, growing healthcare expenditure, unprecedented evolution of the healthcare standards and infrastructure, and others, the market for infection prevention and control is expected to witness prosperity in the region during the forecast period 2024-2030.

According to the 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 seen in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) with the largest increase in infections transmitted from ICU.

The increasing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections will in turn increase the demand for infection prevention and control devices and consumables in the United States.

Further, a consistent number of strategic collaborations adopted by key market players to widen their product portfolio and infection control capabilities are believed to be responsible for the greater share captured by this region. For instance, In March 2023, Getinge completed the acquisition of Ultra Clean Systems Inc., a leading US manufacturer of ultrasonic cleaning technologies, used in hospitals and surgery centers to decontaminate surgical instruments. Ultrasonic cleaning is an integral part of best practices for reprocessing instruments, especially the most complex ones used for robotic surgery, to minimize the risk of hospital-acquired infections
Also, in March 2019, Getinge announced the US launch of a new 9100E Cart Washer. The 9100E Cart Washer represents the evolution of the company’s successful 9100 series floor-loading cart and utensil washer-disinfectors. It was specifically designed to address the needs of hospitals, which require washers that have a reliable and sufficient throughput of a large variety of items that cannot be disinfected in a traditional instrument washer-disinfector, such as operating table transport trolleys, instrument containers, and other bulky items.

Thus, the above-mentioned factors are likely to propel the growth of the infection prevention and control market in the region during the forecast period from 2024-2030.
