Market Overview
Increased Awareness on Hospital-acquired Infection and Hand Hygiene Drives Growth of the Western European Disinfectant Gels and Scrubs Market
The recent hemagglutinin type 1 and neuraminidase type 1 (H1N1) pandemic and the increased awareness on hospital-acquired infection (HAI) have spurred the use of disinfectants as they help to prevent various hand-transmitted viruses such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), C.difficile and norovirus. Product innovation in terms of efficacy of the disinfectant, its dispensing and compliance monitoring offer numerous lucrative market opportunities. “The increased awareness of hand hygiene is driving the Western European disinfectant gels and scrubs market,” says the analyst of this research. “Hand disinfection is the most important aspect of controlling HAI and doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers are required to adhere to hand hygiene practices in order to minimise the risk of infection and enhance patient safety.” The use of alcohol-based hand rubs with 70 per cent to 90 per cent alcohol provides adequate protection against most pathogens. However, spores such as C.difficile cannot be eradicated with alcohol. Therefore, there is a vital need to focus on technological innovation to improve efficacy of disinfectants in terms of the spectrum as well as time length of antimicrobial activity.
However, pan-European brand recognition and market penetration are not easily achievable due to the domination of existing tier-I market participants and the varying standards and regulations within the western European region. Manufacturers should favourably influence the perception of local governing bodies that impose regulations for individual regions across western Europe. “Establishing brand recognition through clinical trials and participation in hygiene initiatives are the best ways for the market participants to promote their product in the competitive disinfectant gels and scrubs market,” explains the analyst.
Brand recognition by participation in public health initiatives and the gaining of public and governmental approval through rigorous clinical testing by manufacturers will lead to a strong revenue growth. “With the market opening up various avenues for disinfection solutions, companies need to provide a total solution rather than a number of products,” concludes the analyst. “The integration of products and services should be pursued to market disinfection products.”
