In recent years, robust expansion has been witnessed in the global infection control market. Experiencing significant growth, the market value escalated from $119.1 billion in 2023 to $126.25 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The increase can be directly attributed to several factors, including healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), the imposition of stringent regulatory standards, a surge in the awareness of infectious diseases, globalization and travel, and increased healthcare expenditure.
The infection control market is projected to maintain its exponential growth with a future projection of reaching $164.6 billion in 2028, with an expected CAGR of 6.9%. The growth in this forecast period can be attributed to pandemic preparedness, the upgrade of healthcare infrastructure, rising antimicrobial resistance, the evolution of the regulatory landscape, and increased public health initiatives.
A significant driver of this growth is the increasing incidence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), which are infections contracted within a healthcare facility. Controlling these types of infections, which include bloodstream and urinary tract infections, has become a global healthcare focus, thus boosting the infection control market. Technologies such as digital infection prevention systems, created by key market players like Belimed AG, 3M Company, and Ecolab Inc., are being developed to monitor, analyze, and manage infection prevention measures.
