What Drivers Are Expected To Influence The Infection Prevention Market During The Forecast Period?

The rising occurrence of hospital-acquired infections is anticipated to propel the expansion of the infection prevention market in the future. These infections, known as hospital-acquired infections, are contracted by patients during their medical treatment within a hospital or other healthcare settings. To combat hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), infection prevention methods involve various measures aimed at reducing infection risks and improving patient safety. A notable example is provided by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), a government body located in Sweden. Their data from the third Point Prevalence Survey (PPS) of HAIs, published for 2022-2023, revealed that approximately 4.3 million patients in EU/EEA hospitals contract at least one HAI annually. Consequently, the growing frequency of hospital-acquired infections is a significant factor driving the growth of the infection prevention market.

An infection preventionist staffing calculator functions as a tool for estimating the appropriate number of infection preventionists needed in a healthcare facility, taking into account variables like the number of beds, patient acuity, and facility type. For example, in December 2023, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), a US-based organization dedicated to advancing infection prevention and control practices, introduced an infection preventionist staffing calculator. This instrument assists healthcare facilities, including hospitals and clinics, in calculating the essential number of infection preventionists (IPs), thereby enhancing patient safety through optimal staffing. Data collected from these facilities will be utilized to refine this tool, ensuring precise guidance for staffing.
