Rising Prevalence Of Hospital-acquired Infections Is Projected to Drive the Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market's Demand

According to the World Health Organization, the prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAI's) in developed countries at any given time is between 3.5%-12%. These infections include nosocomial infection due to ultrasound probes, central line-associated bloodstream infections, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and clostridium difficile infections. With the increase in chronic and contagious disease cases, more and more people visit hospitals or any other healthcare facilities. Thus, the cases of hospital-acquired infections (HAI's) increase, which further escalates the demand for the disinfection process.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the ultrasound probe disinfection market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.5% in the forecast period of 2021 to 2029 and is expected to reach USD 1,349.31 million by 2029. In developed and developing countries, the hospitals are using disinfection probes for testing purposes, and that's why they're increasing the use of high-level disinfection systems, which is expected to provide a great opportunity for the ultrasonic probe disinfection market.

Surge in Chronic and Contagious Diseases is anticipated to Propel Market Growth

The growing prevalence of chronic and contagious diseases leads to generating enormous demand for ultrasound procedures and disinfectants during the treatment. Contagious diseases spread in several ways from person to person. Chronic diseases generally occur in older adults that can be controlled but not cured, such as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, stroke, or cancer. The ultrasound probe is used in various chronic diseases such as abdominal, cardiac, endovaginal (EV) obstetrics and gynecology procedures, transesophageal echocardiography, and endorectal (ER) prostate applications, among others. Therefore, the increased prevalence of chronic and contagious diseases is estimated to boost market growth.

Asia-Pacific is expected to grow during the forecast period due to the major companies foraying into the market. China is expected to dominate in the region due to increasing prevalence of bacterial infection and introduction of latest technologies in the healthcare sectors.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 largely impacted the healthcare industry. Frontline healthcare workers are at a much higher risk of developing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 because of the virus's high transmissibility (SARS-CoV-2). As a result of frequent direct contact with large numbers of patients, imaging equipment, particularly ultrasound, is at high risk for surface transmission. The number of ultrasound imaging procedures performed during COVID-19 was drastically reduced. During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ultrasound probe disinfection instruments market was negatively impacted, and this trend continued until December 2020. The market for consumables is expected to be impacted by the decline in the number of ultrasound imaging procedures.

However, the consumables market does not appear to be negatively impacted by repeat purchases due to increased disinfection cycles. Following the introduction of vaccines, the number of ultrasound procedures gradually increased. Various societies and national authorities, such as the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, have developed international guidelines to address various challenges in the current scenario and ensure patient safety. Elective surgeries and ultrasound procedures are expected to be delayed as a result of the factors mentioned above, according to caregivers and hospitals. However, the market is expected to gradually rise starting in the late second half of 2021, as expected.
