Croatia Infection Control Market - Forecasts from 2020 to 2025

The Croatia infection control market is estimated to increase with a growth rate of 6.04% by the end of 2025. The presence of numerous healthcare institutions resulting in the treatment of more than 760.000 patients every year is driving the market demand in the forecast period. The increasing mortality mainly due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is further augmenting the market demand in the forecast period owing to the utilization of infection control products in diagnosis and treatment procedures. The average length of stay for acute hospital care is more than 8 days in 2015, which is slightly higher than the EU average. Hence, this is projected to drive the market demand in the forecast period. The substantial cases of road accidents due to the presence of deadlier roads and inefficient judiciary is contributing to the surge in the length of hospital stays for acute patient care.
