Market Analysis and Insights: Europe Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market
Europe ultrasound probe disinfection market is expected to gain market growth in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the market is growing with a CAGR of 15.5% in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029 and is expected to reach USD 412.28 million by 2029 from USD 135.10 million in 2021. The high prevalence of hospital-acquired infections and rise in awareness regarding the use of reprocessed equipment is the major driver which is anticipated to propel the market in the forecast period.
Disinfection refers to the thermal or chemical destruction of pathogenic and other types of microorganisms. The process is less lethal than sterilization, as disinfection destroys the most recognized pathogenic microorganism. According to the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), "infection control is an integral part for safe and effective use of ultrasound in medicine."
There are different types and categories of disinfectants such as low-level disinfectants, which destroy most bacteria excluding Tubercle bacilli, some fungi, and some viruses; intermediate level disinfectants which destroy vegetative bacteria including Tubercle bacilli and many viruses, but not bacterial spores; and high-level disinfectants which remove bacterial spores when utilized in adequate concentrations and appropriate conditions. The disinfection of the ultrasound probe by manually soaking it in the antiseptic solution is a standard procedure maintained in healthcare facilities.
The rising global prevalence of infectious diseases, an increase in the number of hospital-acquired infections, and a growing technologically advanced procedure that offers quick, easy, and cost-effective methods is anticipated to drive the market's growth. However, the side effect of using disinfectant wipes may restrain the growth of the market. Moreover, growth in birth rate and the number of pregnancies is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to market players. However, the high cost of automated probe re-processors may challenge the growth of the ultrasound probe disinfection market.
