UV Infection Control Devices Market Overview:
The global UV infection control devices market size was valued at $317.42 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $524.84 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 6.5% from 2019 to 2026.
The UV infection control device is one of the disinfectant systems that use ultraviolet rays to kill microorganism present in the various healthcare setting such as hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, research center, emergency departments, and others. As health care-associated infections (HAIs) is on the rise every year, which are caused by microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can seriously affect the patients. The UV infection control device works based on UV light that reflects off walls and other surfaces and is absorbed by bacteria, whose light-sensitive porphyrin molecules become excited and, as a result, experience oxidative damage and cell death.
The key factors that drive the growth of the UV infection control devices market include increase in government focus on infection control programs. For instance, the American Hospital Association published "Infection Control in the Hospital," the first and only standards available for many years. In 2015 more than 50% of US hospitals had a version of an infection control program. In 1972, the Hospital Infections Branch at the CDC was formed, and the Association for Practitioners in Infection Control was organized. Furthermore, rise in prevalence of hospital acquired infections (HAI). In addition, rising adoption of technologically advanced UV equipment further supplement the growth of the market. However, high cost of UV infection control devices and stringent government regulations hinder the growth of the market globally. On the contrary, high growth prospects in emerging markets can provide newer opportunities for the UV infection control devices market growth.
