Growing Awareness of Nosocomial Infections Drives Growth in the European Surgical Infection Control Markets

The European surgical infection control markets are highly competitive, mature markets, with growth rates that are modest, yet steady. Rising awareness of nosocomial infections and its multi-level effects on society are the key factors driving growth in these markets. Resulting in increased mortality and morbidity in hospitalised patients, nosocomial infections are becoming a cause of serious concern. As a result, hospitals, healthcare practitioners and government health bodies are focusing on surgical infection control in order to impede and control the spread of nosocomial infections.

"Growth in the European surgical infection control markets is driven by campaigns that are being undertaken to promote awareness of nosocomial infections and their manifold effects," notes the analyst of this research service. "Notably, such awareness campaigns are not limited to the public health sphere, but are reflected across the socio-economic and political spheres of Europe." In addition, the ongoing initiatives to implement pan-European standards in the markets will ensure the standardisation of products and their prices across Europe, thereby assisting market expansion.

Maximisation of Product Efficacy Pivotal for Increased Uptake

The current emphasis on maximising the efficacy of surgical infection control products is a significant factor influencing market growth. Product efficacy is determined by the antimicrobial efficacies, the time taken and the speed with which the antimicrobial activity takes place. Thus, maximising product efficacy, in combination with excellent after-sales services will help assist market participants in distinguishing themselves in the competitive surgical infection control markets.

"Dominated by global and pan-European brands, the surgical infection control markets are saturated," explains the analyst. "Thus, given the dominance of strong Tier I participants, market penetration by smaller companies is difficult to achieve." Moreover, the lack of uniform pan-European regulations makes it harder for smaller companies to license their products across Europe. Hence, in these highly competitive and brand-oriented markets, product differentiation based on technology and efficacy will prove beneficial. Small companies would also do well to collaborate with the major global and European firms in the market, as European standards will level the field of competition in the markets.
