Hand Hygiene Monitoring System Market Report 2024

This Hand Hygiene Monitoring System market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The hand hygiene monitoring system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.34 billion in 2023 to $6.03 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The historical growth can be attributed to a rise in healthcare-associated infections, adherence to regulatory compliance, heightened focus on hand hygiene regulations, increased emphasis on infection control, and the expansion of healthcare facilities.

The hand hygiene monitoring system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.87 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period is driven by increasing antimicrobial resistance, a growing demand for infection prevention, global health crises, government initiatives and funding, and a heightened focus on patient safety. Key trends for this period include technological advancements, integration with artificial intelligence, improved data analytics, the adoption of cloud solutions, as well as smart dispensers and sensors.

The growing incidence of antibiotic resistance is anticipated to drive the expansion of the hand hygiene monitoring system market. Antibiotic resistance refers to the ability of bacteria or other microorganisms to endure the effects of antibiotics that would normally be lethal or inhibit their growth. This resistance arises when bacteria evolve mechanisms to shield themselves from antibiotics, reducing the drugs' effectiveness. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics accelerate this resistance by prompting bacterial adaptation and diminishing treatment efficacy. Hand hygiene monitoring systems address this issue by ensuring effective hand hygiene practices, thereby curbing the spread of resistant bacteria and preventing infections that could require antibiotic intervention. For example, in November 2023, the UK Health Security Agency reported that 58,224 individuals in England had antibiotic-resistant infections in 2022, a 4% increase from 55,792 cases in 2021. Thus, the rise in antibiotic resistance is a key driver for the hand hygiene monitoring system market.

Major players in the hand hygiene monitoring system market are concentrating on enhancing infection control by integrating advanced technologies, such as sink sensors, to improve the accuracy of hand hygiene compliance tracking, boost user engagement, and reinforce infection control practices. Sink sensors, installed in sinks, monitor and track hand-washing activities, offering real-time feedback and ensuring adherence to hygiene protocols. For instance, in June 2023, BIOVIGIL Hygiene Technologies, LLC, a US-based provider of hand hygiene monitoring solutions for healthcare facilities, introduced AccuWash Technology. This system, which includes an integrated sink sensor and badge system, delivers precise tracking of hand hygiene compliance, achieving up to 97% compliance and reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) by up to 83%, thereby enhancing facility quality. The system, comprising a room sensor, badge sensor, and a comprehensive data suite, provides actionable insights from overall facility metrics to individual performance.

In July 2022, St. Bernard Hospital, a US-based Catholic community hospital and vital safety-net healthcare facility, teamed up with BioVigil to enhance safety for both patients and staff while upholding the highest standards of care. This collaboration involved the integration of BioVigil’s electronic hand hygiene monitoring system to decrease hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and provide reassurance to patients, families, and the wider community. BioVigil is a US-based healthcare technology company focused on electronic hand hygiene monitoring solutions.

Hand hygiene monitoring systems are integrated solutions designed to track and ensure compliance with hand hygiene protocols in healthcare settings. These systems generally consist of sensors, dispensers, wearable badges, and data management software to monitor, record, and analyze hand hygiene practices, aiming to reduce infection rates and enhance overall hygiene compliance.

Hand hygiene monitoring systems primarily fall into two categories, portable or plug-in systems and wall-mounted systems. Portable or plug-in systems are easily movable and can be connected to a power source as needed, often used in various locations within healthcare facilities to monitor hand hygiene dynamically. These systems include hardware, software, and technologies such as activity monitoring, individual monitoring, direct observation apps, motion sensors, video monitoring, and patient tracking devices. The end users of these systems include hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and other healthcare settings.
