The Ever-Present
Threat of Transmission of Infectious Diseases in the Practice of Dentistry Drives Growth of Dental
Infection Control Products, According to a New Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments,
trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Dental
Infection Control Products market. The
global market for Dental Infection Control Products is projected to reach US$1
billion by 2022 driven by the growing awareness among care givers over the
healthcare-associated risks of viral and bacterial infections in dentistry
coupled with stringent implementation of infection-control programs to prevent the
risk of disease transmission.
The field of dentistry is more risky than other forms of
medical practice with occupational hazards being extremely high for dentists. Both
dental healthcare professionals and patients risk exposure to different types
of blood-borne and air-borne diseases including HIV and Hepatitis B. Growing
concerns over cross-infection as well as spread of infectious diseases in
dental clinics and dental practices are driving demand for dental infection
control products, globally. Infection control measures and products are designed
to control the spread of nosocomial, iatrogenic infections in patients, and
also to prevent likely occupational exposure of care providers to such
infections. Efforts focused on infection control are aimed at minimizing the
risk associated with the transmission of infectious agents. The global market
for dental infection control products is also being driven by the increasing
demand for environment-friendly products.
Infection control measures in dental offices often
require dental professionals to follow safety protocols such as maintaining hand
hygiene, wearing personal protective equipment, disinfecting and cleaning
surfaces or applying surface barriers, maintaining dental unit waterlines,
using single-use disposable items, and sterilizing instruments. Personal
protective equipment is the most basic protection to skin as well as mucous
membranes of mouth, nose and eyes of dental care personnel against potentially
hazardous infectious pathogens. Demand for personal
protective equipment used in dental practices such as gowns and gloves is growing,
supported by rising awareness about safety standards and the need to establish
mechanisms to ensure safety against occupational hazards. The use of protective
eyewear, gowns, gloves and face masks has also become a regular infection
prevention and control feature in dental facilities.
As stated by the new market research report on Dental
Infection Control Products, Europe represents the largest market worldwide.
Asia-Pacific is poised to register the fastest CAGR of 5.8% over the analysis
period led by factors such as large population base, changing dietary habits to
more sweeter diets and the ensuing rise in the burden of oral diseases;
expansion of dental clinics and proliferation of dental services; rising prominence
of dental tourism to low cost Asian countries and the ensuing government focus
on meeting international accreditation, quality, and patient safety standards.
