Report Summary
US demand to rise 5.1% annually through 2015
US demand for infection prevention products and services is forecast to increase
5.1 percent annually to $21.4 billion in 2015. Stepped up efforts by medical
providers to reduce the incidence and mortality of health care-associated infections
(HAIs) will underlie growth. Hospitals and other health care establishments are
adopting stricter standards involving patient and staff hygiene and protection,
facility cleaning and disinfection, device and instrument sterilization, and medical
waste collection and disposal. Each of these applications will continue to form an
attractive, growing niche within the medical supply market.
The need for improved infection prevention strategies also extends to the life
sciences sector. Stricter FDA standards for product quality control and quality
assurance are forcing pharmaceutical and medical device producers to upgrade and
expand sterilization and disinfection systems. Additionally, the increasing use of
biotechnology-derived microorganisms in investigative and testing procedures is
broadening the infection prevention requirements of life science research and
medical diagnostic concerns.
Disinfectants, services to be fastest growing segments
Disinfectants consumed by health care and life science facilities will register
demand of nearly $2 billion in 2015, up 4.9 percent annually from 2010. Growth
will benefit from stepped up pressures on health care facilities to upgrade staff
hygiene and facility disinfection practices to defend against HAIs such as MRSA,
VRE and C. diff. Disinfectant use in life science facilities will expand as production
systems and research and diagnostic investigations become increasingly complex
and more vulnerable to microbial contamination. However, as in the case of
protective apparel and textiles, multiple supplier availability and limited pricing
flexibility will hold down overall growth opportunities for this product group.

Compliance with stricter infection prevention and control safeguards by the health
care and life science communities will create average or better growth opportunities
for medical waste disposal supplies. By contrast, the market for sterilization and

2. other infection prevention products market equipment will expand at a slow pace
due to maturing end-use markets, and the increasing availability of used and
retrofitted machinery. Demand for infection prevention services will see above
average growth based on the convenience, cost efficiency and regulatory
compliance advantages offered to health care and life science facilities.
Demand for protective apparel and textiles -- including surgical drapes and gowns,
medical and laboratory gloves, face masks and staff apparel, will expand at a below
average pace due to trends toward less invasive patient procedures and limited
pricing flexibility. The market for safety-enhanced devices, especially IV and urinary
catheters and syringes, will grow faster based on stricter OSHA standards aimed at
preventing accidental needlesticks and extended health insurance coverage for
urinary catheters. Studies indicate that more than half of HAIs and 90 percent of
related mortality and nearly all accidental needlesticks could be prevented if
hospitals and other health care facilities implemented integrated infection
prevention strategies advocated by government and private medical groups.
