Disinfection Cap Market Growth and Trends

A surge in the prevalence of hospital acquired diseases, also known as nosocomial infections that are mainly found in patients receiving long-term treatment, especially surgical treatment, and increasing hospital admissions are major driving factors for the disinfection cap market. It can occur in hospitals, clinics, surgical centers, ambulatory surgical centers, and long-term care facilities like nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities, for which the demand is very high in the heathcare sector, where children, patients with low immunity, and geriatric populations are prone to infections. Factors such as the use of indwelling catheters, excessive use of antibiotics, and lack of proper hygiene in healthcare settings can increase the risk of hospital acquired infections in patients, for which sanitation and precaution are added key factors expected to stimulate the growth of the market for disinfection caps in the coming years. The utility of disinfection caps in cleaning a used catheter hub makes it highly effective as it keeps the connector clean by making a physical and chemical barrier separating the connector and potential contaminants. Technological advancements are predicted to bolster the growth of the market for disinfection caps in the future. Previously, disinfection caps that had threaded and Luer-lock style caps with small sponges were used, but disinfection caps with isopropyl alcohol impregnated sponges were introduced a few years ago, which prevents infections from catheters in hospitalized patients who require venous access, thus increasing their demand and fuelling growth in the market. The incidence of the Covid-19 pandemic also witnesses an increasing rate of demand for disinfection caps as the requirement to enhance hygienic measures in treatment to prevent any possible spread of viral infection in patients affected by other comorbidities has surged.

A growth restraining factor in this market could be disruption in the supply chain due to logistics being affected.
