Drivers & Restraints-
Increasing Prevalence of Hospital-Acquired Infections to Propel Growth
The cases of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are expected to surge the demand for surface disinfectant shortly. These infections mainly occur when the patients are being treated in hospitals and are not often detected during the admission procedure.
The infections associated with invasive devices and medical equipment consist of ventilator-associated pneumonia, catheter-associated infections, and surgical site infection. However, these disinfectants include a wide range of chemicals, namely, acetic acid, peroxides, and hypochlorite. These are very harmful for human health, as well as for the environment. These factors are expected to hamper the market growth in the coming years.
