Surgical Site Infections Market

Surgical Site Infections Market Overview

The global surgical site infections market is estimated to create an incremental opportunity of more than US$ 9 Bn by the end of 2032. The sales of surgical site infection prevention products are expected to exceed US$ 5.5 Bn by 2022, projecting growth at a CAGR of nearly 6% to 7% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2032. Increasing implementation of stringent regulations regarding proper hospital care and sterilization of surgical instruments by regulatory organizations is anticipated to accelerate the demand for surgical site infections prevention solutions in the global market.

Surgical site infections are infections that occur post-surgery on the operated body part. These infections can result in normal superficial skin infections, but at times they can result in serious infections involving tissues and organs under the skin or implanted material, leading to death if not treated.

These infections commonly occur due to reasons such as use of non-sterilized surgical equipment, contact of the wound with an infected object, and entry of harmful bacteria into the incision or wound, among others.

Surgical site infections remain one of the primary causes of morbidity and mortality, leading to readmission of the patient to the hospital post-surgery. Hence, with increasing awareness regarding the severity of these infections, healthcare organizations are prioritizing surgical site infections prevention before the surgery, during the surgery, and after the surgery. This is estimated to bolster the sales of surgical site infections in the global market.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading Surgical Site Infections Market Growth?

Rising emphasis on enhancing body and facial aesthetics and increasing customer spending on body implantations have led to a substantial rise in number of surgical procedures across the world, fueling the demand for infection prevention products.

According to a survey by the America Society of Plastic Surgeons, approximately 15.6 million cosmetics surgeries and 6.8 million reconstructive surgical procedures were reported across the U.S. in the year 2020.

Surgical site infection prevention products such as antiseptics & disinfectants, patient-warming products, care supplementary products, surgical staff clothing, and wound care dressing among others are extensively used pre and post surgeries. Thus, increasing number of surgical procedures worldwide is projected to augment the sales of surgical site infections prevention products in the global market.

In addition to this, increasing emphasis on introduction of novel pre and post-surgical care products such as irritation-free wound cleansers, foam dressing, non-adhesive pressure bandages, and others is projected to further favor the growth in the surgical site infections market.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Surgical Site Infections Market?

Although there are numerous advantages of surgical site infections control products, high cost of these products and lack of awareness regarding hospital infection prevention and control is hinder the sales on the global market.

In addition to this, low expenditure on preventive care products across certain developing and underdeveloped countries and rising concerns regarding the impact of surgical waste on the environment is posing a challenge to the growth in the surgical site infections market.

Why is North America Emerging as an Opportunistic Surgical Site Infections Market?

Future Market Insights reveals that North America is expected to account for a lion’s share in the global surgical site infections market from 2022 to 2032.

With the increasing number of surgical procedures, a rapid surge in burden of surgical site infections is being witnessed across North America, creating strong demand for hospital infection preventive products.

According to the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System, out of 27 million surgical procedures that take place every year in the U.S., nearly 5% or 1.35 million surgeries are reported to be affected by surgical site infections. Hence, governmental and non-governmental organizations are increasingly implementing stringent regulations for hospital care, and post-surgical care to curb the prevalence of surgical site infections. This is estimated to favor the growth in the North America market.
