The global Healthcare Powered Air Purifying Respirator Market size is expected to reach USD 381.7 million by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.0% from 2019 to 2028. The rising focus on hygiene in healthcare facilities to reduce Healthcare-associated Infections (HAIs) is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the market.
HAIs can occur in patients while receiving healthcare treatments for any medical condition in healthcare facilities. These infections can be associated with surgeries and/or medical devices used during medical or surgical procedures. To avoid these infections, the use of healthcare Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) by doctors and healthcare workers has registered a rapid increase.
PAPRs are required to reduce the risk of exposure to secretions, bodily fluids, and excretions, during the healthcare professionals engaged in taking care of the patients. The demand for PAPR in the healthcare industry is expected to grow to protect healthcare professionals and patients from infections.
Companies are investing in research and development centers to develop and introduce new products in the market. For instance, in February 2019, Bullard opened a new research and development facility in Lexington, Kentucky, U.S. This center will focus on the development of next-generation products for the company’s customers.
