Hand Hygiene Monitoring System Market

Healthcare contaminations have been the spotlight of professionals for a long time now. Majority of the spread of infectious diseases has been ridiculed to unhygienic practices, including hand hygiene. To counter this, hand hygiene monitoring is an effective way of real-time analysis of biological contamination of surfaces. The system is widely used in hospitals and laboratories, due to the presence of plethora of germs and microbes responsible for infection spread. The monitoring system sends regular notifications and alerts to the individual for maintaining regular hand hygiene. Few systems even consist of sensors attached to soap dispensers alerting healthcare workers to wash hands before and after their interaction with patients. Hand hygiene monitoring system finds a wide array of applications in the food & beverage industry, supermarkets, and restaurants. As the world battles COVID-19 and its seen aftereffects, an increasing number of hospitals are administering and equipping their places with hand hygiene monitoring systems to prevent risk of contaminations and spread to infections to COVID-19-positive patients in their close vicinity.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The global outbreak of COVID-19 leads to an ongoing downturn of the healthcare market. Apart from communities, COVID-19 was equally disastrous for major world economies, especially the healthcare sector. Prominent stakeholders are continuing to adapt their strategies to the rapidly changing situation. COVID-19 is projected to have significant long-term impacts on the healthcare industry. Countries and major players would have to undertake critical healthcare changes until the crisis takes a back seat.

 Technological progress, cost containment, and increased access are projected to be an integral part of healthcare reforms in the near future. Digital health and telehealth have taken a front seat in the ongoing outbreak. COVID-19 re-emphasized the importance of remote diagnosis, care, and consultation. Over the past few years, regulatory and behavioral barriers have slowed telehealth growth. However, since many healthcare providers are currently working on video conferencing and telephone calls, the segment is anticipated to experience growth over the next two years. The social distancing measures further mandated online consultation of patients with moderate symptoms. This reduced the burden on hospitals already swamped by counts of COVID-19 patients. Medical IoT devices are now being used for optimizing outpatient treatment and minimizing repeat visits, and these devices can be further used in a crisis situation. The pandemic led to severe resource constraints. This is expected to result in the development of competitive pricing and value-based pricing models, which boost the growth of the hand hygiene monitoring system market.

Top Impacting Factors

• Due to COVID-19 and the psychological impact it has left on the healthcare professionals regarding their safety and the spread of infectious diseases in their work vicinity, the demand for equipping hygiene monitoring system is witnessing exponential growth, owing to the significant reduction in the spread of infections by its installation, cost-effectiveness, and easy implementation.
• Patient satisfaction about the technology is another major factor for exponential growth of the market.
• Increased safety and environmental requirements across industries from food processing, consumer goods, and retail is a major market driver.
• One of the major restraining factors impacting hand hygiene monitoring system market are lack of awareness and the resulting apathy toward hand hygiene especially in rural parts of India and other emerging economies such as China and Brazil. Furthermore, highest number of cases of chronic diseases in these countries contributes toward the growth of the market.
• Another major factor which might restrain the growth is the lack of technically equipped personnel for handling the technology well. It requires imparting the technicians with basic tenets of the monitoring system through basic and advanced certification courses and training programs.

Key Market Trends

North America is the highest contributors to the hand hygiene monitoring system market, owing to higher awareness, presence of advanced medical facilities, and availability of skilled professionals.

Asia-Pacific is expected to shoot up and replace Europe as the second leading market in the coming years, owing to presence of higher population base and subsequently increase in sales.

China alone is witnessing significant gains, owing to the plethora of new IT start-ups and manufacturers entering in the market with technology-integrated, innovative ideas.

Among the many new monitoring systems being developed, connected hand hygiene systems are the newest in line, which incorporate a combination of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks for the compliance rate. This particular system has the capability to detect hand hygiene compliance rate in real time. It is thus useful especially when incorporated at large healthcare institutions.
