Although healthcare facilities across the globe are equipped with robust disinfecting technologies, infections still continue to prevail. Sometimes, microorganisms originate from a patient’s own skin microbiota after surgeries. The factors driving the growth of the global hospital-acquired infections market include nature and virulence of the microbial agent, poor infection control practices among healthcare organizations, crowding, high bacterial load in hospitals due to the presence of infected materials, and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity where bacteria can thrive.
A rise in geriatric population who suffer from chronic diseases and stay for prolonged periods in hospitals also boost the growth of the market. The elderly population is generally more prone to acquiring life-threatening diseases as they have a weak immune response. The hospital-acquired infections market is likely to gain growth opportunities from advancement in technologies such as gas plasma sterilization technology. The hospital-acquired infections market is thriving in developing and underdeveloped economies. These regions have poor healthcare infrastructure, and the level of awareness regarding health and hygiene is generally low in healthcare institutions. Moreover, lack of proper disinfection technologies in hospitals also favors the growth of the market.
On the downside, the market growth of hospital-acquired infections is constrained by microbial resistance, increasing the use of disposables, usage of disease inhibiting materials in hospitals such as ceramics and glass, and huge fragmentation of the market. Additionally, stringent regulations aimed at curbing hospital-acquired infections also constrain the growth of the market.
