Flu Protection Kits Market

Flu Protection Kits Market Overview

Several of us have had the flu at least once in our lives. Flu is an acronym for ‘influenza’, i.e. an infectious disease caused by the influenza virus. The most common symptoms include a fever, running nose, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, cough and fatigue. There are several types of flu strains, the most notorious ones being Swine Flu and the Ebola virus.

These virus can almost certainly be fatal for both the victim and the medical caregivers if proper handling procedures are not followed. That is where the flu protection kit market comes into picture. To prevent the occurrence of a pandemic (widespread occurrence of the flu across an entire country or even the world) and nip the problem in the bud, flu protection kits are absolutely critical.

They usually include things like gloves, goggles, full body suits, respirators, bandage sprays, antibacterial wipes, tissues, biohazard bags, antiseptic sanitizers, duct tape and sheeting. While they are not able to eliminate the spread of viruses completely, they can certainly reduce the risk of infection to a great extent.

At the rate at which the global population is rising along with new strains of viruses being discovered frequently, it seems that the only direction the flu protection kit market will go is up towards greater sales.

Flu Protection Kits market Drivers

An increasing global population, new and unknown strains of viruses being discovered frequently along with a focus on improving healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets is expected to drive the flu protection kit market forward. Pandemics like the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa paralyse not only that region’s inhabitants but also affect international trade, investment and traffic flowing in.

Governments in these countries have begun to realize the debilitating effects of such crises and have started implementing laws governing the proper handling of patients to ensure that they don’t face them on a recurring basis. Global companies playing in the flu protection kit market have a bright future in this part of the world. Along with the developing world, concerns about health and safety in the West, awareness of such pandemics and developed healthcare infrastructure ensure a steady flu protection kit market there as well.

Flu Protection Kits market Restraints

A lack of awareness on the part of the general public and no adequate government regulation concerning the healthcare industry can be considered some of the major impediments to the flu protection kit market.

There might even be a tendency for hospitals to focus on cost effective and lower quality flu protection kits, compromising safety of patients in the process. However, an increasing occurrence of flu due to an interconnected, interdependent world is bound to ensure that the flu protection kit market thrives in the long term.

Flu Protection Kits market Key Regions

North America is the largest flu protection kit market at present, followed by Europe. Greater awareness of treatments, strong healthcare systems and strict government regulations controlling the medical field ensure this is so. Asia Pacific can be considered the next big market because they house a greater portion of the world’s population, have large, fast growing economies and have increasingly begun to focus on improving their healthcare regulations and infrastructure.
