Chile Infection Control Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Product (Disinfectants, Sterilization (Low-Temperature Sterilization, Heat Sterilization, Contract Sterilization)), By End User Industry (Healthcare, Food And Beverage, Chemical) - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The Chile infection control market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.67% over the forecast period to attain a market size of US$167.492 million in 2027, from US$106.575 million in 2020. Concerns about implementing proper routine checks and disinfection practices are growing among various end-user industries, including food and beverage and pharmaceuticals, to provide effective protection to employees and prevent disease spread. The concerns about implementing proper routine checks and disinfection practices are rising among different end-user industries such as food and beverage and pharmaceutical so that effective staff protection is provided and spread of diseases can be prevented. Hence, this results in an increase in the demand for infection control and prevention methods, causing the market to expand over the forecast period.

However, in Chile, there is a problem with the technical knowledge that healthcare workers and healthcare professionals hold, as there is little and incomplete awareness regarding the standard precautions (SPs) and standard measures. Compliance with these measures is imperative and must be taken to control the spread of infections in vulnerable environments such as hospital wards to treat patients diagnosed with serious viruses and bacterial infections that are contagious.

The Importance of disinfectants in the prevention and control of infections

Over the projection period, disinfectants are anticipated to have a sizable market share and exhibit noticeable expansion. This is attributable to the fact that there has been an increase in diseases due to the untidy surroundings and irresponsible and unhygienic treatment practices among many healthcare workers in many hospitals and treatment centres. Thus, it has increased the Importance of disinfecting the surroundings to reduce the probability of infection, control it properly and prevent it from spreading further.

The Chemical and Food and beverage industries to show notable growth prospects over the forecast period

Chemical and food and beverage industries are some of the most important industries that cater to the demand from various end-users and are growing in importance due to the ongoing changes in the implemented guidelines to increase worker safety and consumer safety. Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that the chemical sector would hold a sizable share and exhibit considerable development potential, followed by the food and beverage industry. This is becoming increasingly important as the proper handling of food and beverage items is essential to ensure that there is the presence of no impurities and no bacteria that get incorporated during the processing, packaging, production, or many other processes to ensure the quality of the products reaching the end-user do not deteriorate and loses its integrity. In addition, properly handling chemicals is important as negligence leads to spills and reactions due to the incorporation of certain bacteria and microorganisms, which causes severe damage to the surroundings and poses health hazards to the workers as toxic fumes are released into the atmosphere.

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 significantly impacted the expansion of the infection control market in Chile. 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.
