High Level Disinfection Services Market Segment Is Anticipated To Witness A Considerable Growth Rate
High Level Disinfection Services Industry Overview
The global high level disinfection services market size was valued at USD 22.39 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.30% from 2022 to 2030. The demand for high level disinfection services is increasing owing to the surge in Hospital-acquired Infections (HAIs), rising incidence of infectious diseases, and increasing number of surgical procedures across the globe. HAIs are nosocomial infections that are more frequent in people undergoing long-term care, most notably surgical treatment. HAIs are most common in the elderly, infants, and patients with weakened immune systems.
A variety of causes, including a lack of proper hygiene in healthcare facilities, the use of catheters, and an overuse of antibiotics, might surge susceptibility to HAIs. These types of diseases may often lead to central line-related bloodstream infections, surgical site infections, Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) associated with catheters, ventilator and hospital-acquired pneumonia, and infections associated with Clostridium difficile.

The most common HAIs are:
- Central line-associated bloodstream infections
- Methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus (MRSA)
- Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci bloodstream infections
- Clostridium difficile
- Surgical site infections (SSIs)
An increase in the prevalence of HAIs due to a lack of sanitation and preventive measures is a major factor expected to propel the growth of the market for high level disinfection services during the forecast period. According to a research article published in British Medical Journal, in 2016-2017, there were about 6,53,000 healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) reported among 13.8 million adult inpatients in NHS hospitals in England. Of these, around 22800 patients died due to infection. Also, CDC states that about 1 in 31 hospital patients has at least 1 healthcare-associated infection per day.
The incidence of HAIs depends largely on the patient's immunity, the practices of infection prevention and hygiene, and the presence of different infectious agents in the health care facility, leading to an upsurge in demand for infection control services. Hand hygiene with antiseptics and low-level disinfectants, and sterilization of gastro-intestinal endoscopes with potent, high level disinfectants are both possible preventive measures.
The continuous product launches by key players operating in the market for high level disinfection services is one of the major factors contributing to market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in March 2020, specialty chemicals company LANXESS launched the high level disinfectant Rely+On Virkon, which is highly effective against the coronavirus. Tests have confirmed that Rely+On Virkon inactivates a closely related substitute of the rapidly spreading corona strain. Furthermore, Solvay also offers peracetic acid (PAA) based liquid solution, PROXITANE that is effective against wide-ranging fungi, bacteria, and viruses, including SAR-CoV-2, on clean and soiled surfaces.
- In the US, PROXITANE AHC has been granted approval for use against SARS-CoV-2 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Registration Number 68660-11).
- In Europe, PROXITANE solutions have been tested and proven effective against a wide range of viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, aiding a log 4 reduction of these viruses at tremendously low PAA concentration (0.3%), according to standard EN14476:2013. Testing exhibited efficacy in both clean and dirty conditions.
- In Brazil, PROXITANE solution is available as a high level surface disinfectant for hospitals.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and other autoimmune diseases is expected to drive demand for high-level disinfectant services. Antimicrobial tolerance, rising adoption of unhealthy and sedentary lifestyles, obesity, and alcohol intake are all significant contributors to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic disease prevalence has been expected to surge by 57.00% by the year 2020.
Moreover, the rising geriatric population across the globe is the primary demographic suffering from chronic diseases. The WHO states that, by 2050, the world’s population aged 60 years and older is expected to total 2 billion. As a result, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases has dramatically raised hospital admission rates. Blankets, clean fluids, and appliances are some of the necessities in hospitals and other care services. Thus, in such situations, high-level disinfectants and the environment efficiently serve the purpose, as they mitigate the risk of infection transmission among patients and increase care quality. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is projected to have a positive effect on the market during the projection period.
Additionally, rising endoscopic procedures globally are expected to boost the demand for high level disinfection services. For instance, a survey conducted by the NCBI, from April 2020 to May 2020, found that around 2,069,447 endoscopic procedures were performed in a year. Similarly, according to the University College London in April 2019, 110,584 endoscopic procedures were conducted. The endoscopic devices require major quality assurance for disinfection, and hence high-level disinfection services are used to disinfect these contaminated endoscopes, thereby impelling the market further.
Furthermore, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the high level disinfection services market. For instance, as per the American Chemical Society, COVID-19 has increased the use of disinfectants worldwide. Regular disinfection of hospital equipment such as endoscopes to curb the spread of COVID-19 helped the high level disinfection services market to advance. Additionally, to cope with the rising demand, many key market players underwent strategic alliances such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and geographic expansions. For instance, in February 2021, STERIS plc completed the acquisition of Cantel Medical. This acquisition was expected to help the company tackle the increasing demand for high level disinfection services, thereby boosting the high level disinfection services market during the COVID-19 period.
