The Brazil infection control market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.65% over the forecast period to attain a market size of US$1,694.405 million in 2027, from US$735.828 million in 2020. The most commonly acquired infections during treatment in the hospital or while undergoing healthcare procedures or while going through healthcare procedures in untidy and germ-prone environments are called healthcare-acquired infections (HAI’s). According to a study conducted in Brazil, hospital-associated infections pose a serious problem to patient safety as they lead to the increased chances of the patient being subjected to the dangers of contracting deadly viruses, so it is important to follow efficient and proper cleaning practices of surfaces and instruments so as to prevent infections. Therefore, this has resulted in an increased demand for infection control in Brazilian hospitals, which is leading to a surge in the market growth presently and is going to continue to do so over the forecast period and beyond.
Unfortunately, incomplete knowledge and technical proficiency of the necessary techniques for effectively sterilizing the environment and sterilizing the equipment to be utilized in the operative procedures on different individuals poses a serious health problem and puts others at risk, thereby acting as a limiting factor in the market’s growth over the forecast period.
Furthermore, the market players are increasingly participating and involved in the market through top-quality and enhanced product offerings in order to cater to the rising demand among consumers effectively and to contribute to the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Disinfectant to show notable growth
Over the projection period, disinfectants are anticipated to have a sizable market share and exhibit noticeable expansion. This is due to a rise in actions made by the governments, health ministries, and organizations in charge of healthcare institutions in order to provide good quality treatment facilities to patients and, in turn, effectively contain the spread of diseases.
COVID-19 SCENARIO
The need for sterilization and disinfection in hospitals and clinics has increased during COVID-19. There have also been technological advances in sterilization and disinfection equipment, a surge in the outsourcing of sterilization services by hospitals, pharmaceutical and medical device companies, and an increase in the production of single-use products and medical nonwovens. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a sharp rise in demand for infection control products, which has had a significant impact on the expansion of the infection control market in Brazil. The market for infection control is likely to rise, but it will be constrained by the negative effects of chemical disinfectants and worries about the safety of reprocessed devices. On the other hand, during the forecast period, increased use of single-use medical nonwovens and devices is anticipated to present profitable prospects.
