Middle East and Africa Infection Control Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising involvement of government organizations

In the forecast period, the market is expected to develop as a result of the rising involvement of governmental organizations in the publication of recommendations to spread knowledge about practical preventative strategies. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued guidelines in healthcare for the prevention and control of pandemic and epidemic-prone acute respiratory diseases. The guidelines cover everything from standard precautions like hand hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment to disinfection and sterilization procedures.

• Increase in hospitalization duration with surgical infections

According to a WHO guidelines on HAI prevention, the increase in hospitalization duration with surgical infections was found to be approximately 8 days. These extended stays are expected to contribute significantly to the overall costs incurred during the hospitalization, raising the clinical urgency for infection prevention measures to be implemented.

Furthermore, according to data from the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (NNIS) system report, catheterization is the most common cause of hospital-acquired UTIs, and CA-bacteriuria is the most common HAI worldwide, accounting for up to 40% of HAIs in the United States each year. These elements should increase the market's potential for future expansion.

Opportunities

• Increasing use of E-beam sterilization

Beta radiation, often known as electron-beam irradiation, is frequently used to sterilize medical equipment and pharmaceutical packaging. It works by continuously passing electrons through the items being sterilized. The benefit of this treatment is that it offers quick-turn terminal sterilization using straightforward, hygienic on/off technology. The product can be distributed immediately because no residuals or radioactive or carcinogenic gas sources are required. The market for infection control is anticipated to have considerable expansion during the forecast period as a result of the expanding applications of e-beam sterilization and its adoption among various end-user sectors.

Restraints/Challenges

• Concerns about the safety of the processed instruments

Concerns about the safety of the processed instruments used in surgeries are extremely dangerous for patients as well as healthcare workers or professionals, resulting in the spread of infection and acting as a restraint factor hampered the growth of the infection control market.
