Market Insights

Increasing Incidence of Hospital Acquired Infections Drives Market Growth

Healthcare facilities in various developing countries such as India and Japan pose a risk of infection to patients. In hospitals, infections cause unnecessary suffering and the death of millions of patients every year. Asia-Pacific is a source of emerging infectious diseases, including multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) and pathogens with pandemic potential. Risks for emerging infectious diseases in the region are complex and believed to involve environmental, socioeconomic, and technological processes favoring the dynamics of microbial transmission. According to the National Institutes of Health estimates, the risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) in Asia-Pacific is 2–20 times higher than in developed countries, with up to 25% of hospitalized patients reporting infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the US, ~1 in 31 patients in hospitals suffers from at least one HAIs on any given day. According to the data provided by PatientCareLink, in American Hospitals alone, HAIs account for an estimated 1.7 million infection cases and 99,000 associated diseases each year, out of which 22% are surgical site infections. 

Healthcare facilities in low and middle-income countries have exceptionally high HAI rates, possibly due to the additional challenges in achieving effective control of infection, lack of cleanliness in hospitals, and lack of awareness regarding infection control. Seriously ill patients are susceptible to HAIs in industrialized and developing countries. An increase in HAI cases has fueled the need for preoperative infection prevention devices, driving the preoperative infection prevention & wound cleansing devices market growth.
