Report Description
Infection control and prevention measures are performed to protect people, who are prone to
acquire infections in general as well as while receiving medical treatment due to their health
problems. Also, infection control refers to the discipline concerning the prevention of
nosocomial infections (hospital-acquired infections). First line infection control measures include
hand washing before coming in contact with patients since hand becomes the first contact route
for micro-organisms.
Disinfection and sterilization form essential methods for controlling infection. Sterilization can
be done by the application of four different technologies namely, heat sterilization, filtration
sterilization, low temperature sterilization and radiation sterilization. Among all, heat
sterilization accounts for the largest share to total sterilization market owing to the presence of
large consumer base. It is popular amongst hospitals and diagnostic centers that also propel the
demand for heat sterilization. However, low temperature sterilization is expected to grow at the
highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the fact that efficiency provided by low
temperature sterilization process is precise that increases infection control, and in turn increases
the demand. Low temperature sterilization can be further segmented as: ethylene oxide
sterilization, hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization and vaporized hydrogen peroxide
sterilization.
