Infection Control Market, By Types (Consumable, Equipment, and Services), By End Use (Hospitals, Clinical Laboratories, Healthcare Industries and Others) And Geography (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, And Rest Of The World) – Analysis, Share, Trends, Size, & Forecast From 2014 – 2025

REPORT HIGHLIGHT

The infection control market is estimated to represent a global market of USD 148.3 billion by 2017 with growth rate of 7.3%.

Market Dynamics

Infection control is associated with the products and technologies that are used to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAI). HAI is one of the most common complications in clinics and hospital facilities. As per the estimates of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, HAI result more than 1.7 million infections in different healthcare facilities that led to around 99,000 death yearly. Furthermore, the HAI added financial burden of USD 28.0 to USD 33.0 billion every year globally. Numerous government or non-government organizations have started to support projects on HAI preventions owing to the fact that financial burden and number of facilities affected by healthcare infections is increasing continuously. For example, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) implemented the Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP). The program is based on the intensive care unit safety reporting system to address various healthcare-associated infections. These types of initiatives would, in turn, provide a healthy platform for the market development, leading to driving the market growth.

A substantial share of this segment is attained by the wide usage of these products in different infection control procedures. Consumables segment is categorized as Personal protective equipment (PPE), Disinfectants, Sterilization consumables and Safety enhanced medical devices. In 2016, PPE reached a record high of 15.7 billion and is projected to dominate the market over the forecast period. This equipment includes face shields, respirators, medical gloves, and surgical gowns that provides protection against disease-causing organisms.

Disinfectors and Sterilization Equipment is categorized under equipment. Disinfectors are further divided as Washer, Flusher, and Endoscope Reprocessors. Sterilization equipment is categorized as Heat sterilization equipment, Low-temperature sterilization equipment, Liquid sterilization equipment and Radiation sterilization equipment. Services are divided into Contract sterilization (Eto, E-beam, and gamma sterilization) and Waste disposal. The end-user segment is viewed as Hospitals, Clinical Laboratories, Healthcare Industries and Others. Hospitals and healthcare industries, both led the global market, with each having more than 30% share.

Regional Takeaway

Regionally, North America (especially the U.S. market) hold the first spot in the global infection control market. Increasing demand for infection control products owing to the continuous rise in HAI-related problems drives the market growth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 250,000 cases of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) occur in the U.S. hospitals every year. Also, CDC stated that approximately 30,000 to 60,000 patients die every year due to the CLABSIs. Asia Pacific region exhibits fastest growth over the forecast period.

Favorable government initiatives are considered to be the primary driving factor for the market growth. Regulatory policies enforced by healthcare organizations in India and China are favoring higher biosafety to improve the quality of healthcare infrastructure. Organizations such as Asia‐Pacific Biosafety Association trains concerned professionals in the region for biosafety principles and practices. Such parameters will boost the growth of the infection control market in coming years.
