HAIs are more common among people undergoing long-term care, most critically surgical treatment. They are caused mainly due to lack of adequate hygiene in healthcare facilities, the usage of catheters, & overuse of antibiotics.
Hence, the increasing incidences of HAIs due to the lack of sanitation & preventive measures in the UAE is driving the market for disinfection & sanitization services. Moreover, the key industry players introducing high-level disinfection & sanitization products is another crucial aspect projected to drive the market in the coming years.
Furthermore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, & other autoimmune diseases, owing to the mounting adoption of sedentary lifestyles & increasing alcohol consumption levels, would further drive the demand for disinfectant & sanitization services across the UAE during 2022-27.
Impact of Covid-19 on the UAE Disinfectant & Sanitization Services Market
The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 severely impacted almost all industries across the UAE, yet it had a positive impact on the Disinfectant & Sanitization Services Market. The pandemic created an extensive demand for disinfectant sprays across hospitals, nursing homes, and households owing to the mounting need for disinfecting air & surfaces due to the presence of coronavirus, which, in turn, significantly contributed to the market growth amidst the crisis.
