Latin America Surgical Site Infection Control Market Growth Prospects 2024-2032
Based on Triton’s research report, the Latin America surgical site infection control market is estimated to advance in revenue at a CAGR of 5.06% during the forecast period 2024-2032.
The surgical site infection control market in Latin America is supported largely by increasing awareness of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the implementation of stringent infection control measures by healthcare authorities. According to WHO, SSIs are among the most common HAIs. This has prompted governments and healthcare institutions to enhance their focus on infection prevention protocols. For instance, Brazil’s National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) has introduced stringent guidelines for sterilization and hygiene practices in hospitals. Additionally, initiatives by organizations like the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) aim to reduce the incidence of SSIs by promoting sterilization techniques across healthcare settings. These efforts have led to a gradual but significant improvement in surgical site infection management, creating a favorable environment for players in the studied market.
The countries evaluated in this region include Mexico, Brazil, and Rest of Latin America.
Brazil captures the highest market share in the region, attaining $119.3 million in 2023
The Brazilian government has implemented several policies to improve infection control in healthcare settings. The Ministry of Health’s ‘National Plan for Hospital Infection Control’ mandates that all hospitals implement effective infection control programs. The ANVISA has also issued stringent regulations for sterilization practices and hospital hygiene, contributing significantly to the market’s growth. Accreditation programs such as the ONA (Organização Nacional de Acreditação) and the JCI (Joint Commission International) are becoming increasingly popular in Brazil. Hospitals seeking these accreditations must comply with stringent infection control standards, including SSI prevention. As per ONA, a healthcare organization seeking level 1 accreditation should meet the quality and safety standards by 70% or more. The increase in hospitals pursuing these accreditations has led to higher adoption of measures to prevent surgical site infections, which contributes substantially to the market’s progression. Market Forecast for Mexico
The surgical site infection control market in Mexico is accelerated by increasing awareness and regulatory initiatives aimed at improving patient outcomes in hospitals and healthcare facilities. According to industry sources, surgical site infection rates in Mexico are significantly higher than those reported in developed countries, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced infection control measures. This has compelled both public and private healthcare sectors to invest in advanced infection prevention technologies and protocols.
Moreover, government initiatives, such as the implementation of the National Health Security Strategy, are playing a crucial role. This emphasizes the adoption of best practices for infection control and the utilization of modern sterilization techniques, further fueling demand for surgical site infection control products and services.
The market is sectioned based on procedure, industry vertical, type of infection, and product. The procedure section includes cardiovascular, laparoscopy, orthopedic surgery, wound closure, obstetrics and gynecology, thoracic surgery, plastic & reconstructive surgery, microvascular, neurosurgery, urology, and other procedures.
Cardiovascular surgery addresses heart-related conditions such as ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, and congenital heart defects and also encompasses heart transplantation. The instruments used in these surgeries include clamps, cutting devices, needle holders, retractors, scalpels, vascular dilators, forceps, and powered tools like sternal saws. Valve surgery instruments, such as hooks, suture-holding frames, and valve dilators, are also essential. To prevent surgical site infections, specialized control products are utilized throughout the procedure, ensuring a sterile environment and reducing the risk of complications.
