The global hospital acquired infection (HAI) control market is undergoing significant transformation due to increased focus on healthcare hygiene and patient safety. According to the publisher, the market is projected to grow from USD 7.3 billion in 2025 to USD 9.7 billion by the end of 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 4.14% during the forecast period. Rising infection rates, especially post-COVID-19, and technological advancements in sterilization and disinfection equipment are key drivers shaping this market’s growth trajectory.
One of the primary reasons for market growth is the growing number of surgical procedures, which increase the risk of infection. In tandem with this, rising chronic illness prevalence and aging populations are necessitating longer hospital stays, further amplifying the need for robust infection control solutions.
Furthermore, the growing preference for outpatient services and minimally invasive procedures supports the expansion of infection control systems in ambulatory surgical centers and clinics. As hygiene standards become more stringent, even small-scale diagnostic laboratories are expected to invest in advanced infection control systems.
