The Global Hospital Acquired Infection Control Market size is estimated at USD 4.43 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 5.38 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.97% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Demand is being driven by mandatory infection-reporting rules, expanding surgical volumes, and the growing financial penalties tied to high infection rates. Hospitals are broadening prevention programs to cover the entire patient pathway, which is lifting purchases of both single-use supplies and outsourced service contracts. UV-C robots, hydrogen-peroxide sterilizers, and data-rich hand-hygiene trackers are moving from pilot projects to routine procurement, encouraged by evidence of double-digit reductions in infection incidence. Vendors are also responding to litigation risk in markets like Australia by supplying traceable, audit-ready processes that help facilities prove compliance.
Surgical caseloads are climbing with aging populations and improved access to elective procedures. Roughly 1 in 31 inpatients acquires at least one infection each day, lengthening stays by 17 days and prompting a 42% readmission rate within 30 days. The financial impact is acute: surgical site infections alone cost USD 3 billion to USD 5 billion annually. These pressures reinforce continuous purchasing of disinfectants, sterile wraps, and barrier devices across the hospital-acquired infection control market.
The United States and several EU states tie Medicare, Medicaid, or national reimbursement to demonstrated infection-control performance, compelling hospitals to fund robust surveillance programs .Electronic dashboards that map hand-hygiene events or track central-line days help facilities defend payments and avoid penalties, stimulating demand for data-enabled solutions within the hospital-acquired infection control market.
