Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The growing demand for cleaning chemicals to prevent HAIs is notably driving market growth. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are also known as nosocomial infections. The sudden outbreak of contagious and infectious diseases, prolonged hospitalization, the transmission of drug-resistant bacteria, and poor infection-control practices in hospital facilities are some of the factors that cause HAIs. Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), ventilator-associated events (VAEs), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), and surgical site infections (SSIs) are some of the common HAIs that occur in patients, primarily as a result of surgical procedures and the use of various invasive medical devices during non-surgical procedures.
Contaminated surfaces in hospital facilities are the main reservoir for the transmission of microorganisms to patients, either directly through the environment or indirectly from the materials used by the healthcare staff during various medical procedures. The increasing focus of hospital management on taking preventive measures to avoid HAIs is increasing the demand for various cleaning chemical supplies in hospitals. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
The increasing popularity of online distribution channels is one of the primary market trends. Manufacturers are focusing on the distribution of chemicals to hospitals and other industries through direct channels as well as online channels and retailers. The increasing penetration of the Internet and better connectivity across the globe have enabled suppliers to leverage online platforms and ensure the distribution of products to the maximum number of customers.
Rising online promotional and marketing activities allow manufacturers to ensure that hospitals get easy access to their products. Convenience, affordability, and easy availability of disinfectants are the major factors spurring their demand through various online distribution channels. Online platforms, such as IndiaMart, Alibaba, and Amazon, among others, sell and distribute chemicals for cleaning to hospitals. Companies distribute their cleaning chemicals to hospitals through Amazon and IndiaMart across different geographic regions. Such online platforms also help Companies to expand their customer base easily across the globe and thereby improve their profit margins. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
The adverse effect of cleaning chemicals is the major challenge impeding the market growth. Cleaning chemicals contain various substances or compounds that are harmful and may lead to various adverse reactions. Hospital workers who are engaged in cleaning may suffer from medical conditions, including respiratory ailments, eye and skin irritation, eczema, and other skin problems. Various compounds used in cleaning chemicals, such as quaternary ammonium compounds, glutaraldehyde, ortho-phthalaldehyde, and chlorhexidine, among others, can cause or acerbate asthma.
Sodium hypochlorite or bleach is used as a cleaning chemical as it is effective against various microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mycobacteria. According to the US EPA, exposure to a large amount of sodium and calcium hypochlorite can lead to damage to the skin and eyes due to its corrosive nature. Thus, the increased chances of developing various adverse reactions due to exposure to the harsh chemicals used in hospitals may reduce their uptake to minimize occupational hazards, which, in turn, will adversely impact the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
