Slovenia Infection Control Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Product (Disinfectants, Sterilization (Low-Temperature Sterilization, Heat Sterilization, Contract Sterilization)), By End User Industry (Healthcare, Food And Beverage, Chemical) - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The Slovenia infection control market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 3.73% over the forecast period to attain a market size of US$19.016 million in 2027, from US$14.713 million in 2020. To assess the risk posed by healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), the third national prevalence survey was conducted in Slovenia in 2017. For this survey, the patients were enrolled in a cross-sectional study in November for one day. After that, descriptive analyses were carried out to describe the characteristics of the admitted patients, the results of their exposure to a variety of invasive procedures, and the prevalence of the different types of healthcare-associated infections. A total of 5,473 patients underwent the testing [procedures, among which 4.4% of the patients showed the prevalence of at least one HAI, whereas 2.2% of the patients were still being treated for the HAI on the survey day, making the total prevalence 6.6%. Pneumonia was 1.8% compared to surgical site infections, which stood at 1.5%. The UTIs were 1.2%. Moreover, in intensive care units (ICUs), the number of patients who had acquired infections was 30.6%. Therefore, due to the high risk of acquiring healthcare-associated infections, that too, in intensive care units call for intensive disinfection and sanitization methods to minimize this risk and provide proper infection control solutions, which is anticipated to increase the demand over the forecast period and lead to market growth.

Moreover, Slovenia is involved in spending a large portion of its GDP on accelerating the development of the healthcare system and resulting in an increase in the condition of healthcare facilities. In addition, Slovenia's life expectancy is slightly higher than the EU average. It was 80.1 for females and 73.1 for males as of 2017. In conjunction, the geriatric population is growing, encouraging doctors to use more infection control measures and boosting to the market's growth.

This has had a significant impact on the growth of the infection control market in Asia-Pacific as a result of the increased need for sterilization and disinfection in hospitals and clinics, as well as in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. The existence of numerous nonprofit and governmental institutions dedicated to raising infection control standards.
