What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Infection Control Market?
The infection control market is anticipated to grow due to the rising occurrence of infections acquired in healthcare facilities. Such infections, referred to as hospital-acquired infections, are typically contracted while the patient is in the hospital or another healthcare facility and often include bloodstream infections connected to central-line catheter-associated urinary tract infections. The prevention of these infections from single individual to the next through top-notch services, cleanliness, and sterilization practices accounts for a significant buoyancy factor in the infection control market. Case in point, a report from the World Health Organization, a Swiss health agency, in May 2022 indicated that over 24% of global patients were impacted by healthcare-associated infections in 2022. Further to this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a government agency based in the US, stated that the US sees around 1.7 million infections and 99,000 deaths annually due to hospital-acquired infections, making up 32% of all such infections in the US by 2022. These figures are expected to increase in the future, hence the surge in hospital-acquired infections is a key driver for the infection control market.
