Rise in Infectious Agents Transmitted Within the Dental Setting Drives Demand for Dental Infection Control Products Market
The need to prevent spread of cross-infections and
occupational exposures to pathogens in dental facilities is poised to drive the
global
Dental Infection Control Products market to reach US$1.1 billion by 2024. Dentistry
is one area of the medical sector that is at high risk of infections due to
constant exposure to infectious materials such as blood and mucous. Both dental
healthcare professionals and patients risk exposure to different types of
blood-borne and air-borne diseases including HIV and Hepatitis B. Dental
infections are generally transmitted through direct contact with infected
fluids such as blood or saliva, or lesions or tissue debris generated during
intraoral procedures. Infections can also be transmitted directly through
nasopharyngeal secretions onto mucosa, blood splatters, and needle stick
injuries. Additionally, dental infections are transmitted through indirect
contact with contaminated materials, instruments or equipment in the dental
facilities. The personal hygiene of dental professionals and other staff coming
into contact with patient also affects disease transmission in dental care
facilities. The use of dental instruments and air/water syringes is also known
to lead to the creation of water, blood and saliva droplets, which can be the
cause of dental infections. Growing concerns over cross-infections as well as
spread of infectious diseases in dental clinics and dental practices are
driving demand for a range of dental infection control products, globally.
The global market for dental infection control products
continues to record stable growth led by the rapid increase in demand for
dental procedures and treatment, increasing awareness about the risk of
infections in healthcare and dental settings, and the growing emphasis on
adopting measures to prevent transmission of diseases/infections in dental
settings. Rising concerns over cross infections and the increasing risk of
bacterial and viral infections in dental care settings and the subsequent
adoption of strict infection control measures are leading to high demand for
infection control products in dental facilities. Hand
hygiene is regarded as one of the easiest and low cost measures for
reducing pathogen transmission in dental facilities, thus lowering risk of
infections spread to patients and dental professionals. Growth is also being
driven by the increasing demand for environment-friendly products from
customers, which is encouraging market players to replace conventional products
with eco-friendly alternatives. Dynamics of the dental infection control
products market are also influenced by concerns over the use of disposable
items.
As stated by the new market research report on Dental
Infection Control Products, Europe represents the largest regional market,
worldwide. The high level of awareness among patients and caregivers about
dental care, and growing need to prevent transmission of infections at dental
facilities are driving growth in the European dental infection control products
market. The adoption of strict policies to prevent transmission of dental
infections is also contributing to high demand for dental infection control
products in the region. Asia-Pacific is forecast to register the fastest CAGR
of 4.4% over the analysis period. The focus on preventing spread of dental
infections continues to gain prominence due to the rapidly rising demand for
dental procedures, the increasing burden of oral diseases, the increasing
proliferation of dental services, growth in the number of dental clinics in
operations, and the rising popularity of dental tourism in the region. With
dental treatments becoming more accessible and affordable, the growing volume
of dental procedures is driving focus onto controlling transmission of
infections in dental care facilities, thus spurring demand for dental infection
control products.
