Market Insights

The UAE Disinfectant & Sanitization Services Market is anticipated to grow at an exponential CAGR during 2022-27. The Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically fueled the use of disinfectant & sanitization services, not just in the UAE but worldwide. The market growth during 2022-27 is likely to be driven primarily by the mounting prevalence of infectious diseases and surging Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) across the country, i.e., leading to the burgeoning number of surgical procedures.

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.
