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.

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.
