Infections from activities and procedures taking place within a healthcare facility have become a cause for great concern. These infection may occur in a postoperative wound or as a complication unrelated to the disease or condition. This report, Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) Control Markets: focuses on the market opportunities for companies that can assist hospitals and other healthcare facilities with important HAI mitigation tasks including: preventing, testing and treating infections in the healthcare environment.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that around 1 in 20 or 5% of hospitalized patients will contract an HAI. Worldwide, the rate of nosocomial infections is between 3.5% and 12% of admissions in developed regions. This is driving the demand for products and services. The report focuses on three areas: Prevention, Testing and Treatment and will provide a market analysis for each of the important segments:

  • Disinfection
  • Wide-Area Sterilization
  • Device Sterilization
  • HAI Testing - C.diff
  • HAI Testing - MRSA
  • HAI Testing - Others
  • HAI Treatment -Antibiotic Products

For each larger segment (Prevention, Testing and Treatment) company market share is provided. For each larger segment (Prevention, Testing, Treatment) regional market share is provided for the following countries and regions: US, Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, Canada, China, Mexico, Brazil, Africa, India, Rest of World.

Market analysis in this report considers primarily the epidemiological considerations and the size patient groups both in the United States and globally, where available. We have accumulated the most recent data available, understanding that virtually no organization does extensive studies on these applications on a regular basis. Many studies are highly localized and may only apply to a community, state or country (more often countries that are not a part of the majormarkets for nosocomial diagnostic and therapeutic products). In many instances, we have had to draw from broader epidemiologic data, that is, on data that reach outside of the hospital and primary care environment in order to construct a picture of the infection prevention, testing and treatment needs.

As part of the report's coverage, the following trends are discussed:

  • Nosocomial Infection Statistics
