Hand Hygiene Monitoring System Market

Hand Hygiene Monitoring System Market Outlook (2022-2032)

Individuals tend to ingest these disease-causing micro-organisms in their systems without even realizing it. Hand hygiene is important to eliminate the risk of infections, which consequently reduces the cost of healthcare expenditure. Hand hygiene monitoring systems are used to record and maintain the hand hygiene of caretakers in hospitals and clinics. According to the BC Centre for Disease Control, 8% of infectious diseases are spread through unwashed hands. Our hands carry a plethora of germs and microorganisms responsible for infections and are the convenient way to pass it to another person who comes in contact.

Hand hygiene is particularly vital in healthcare facilities, clinics, and hospitals. The WHO and many other organizations have issued guidelines and recommendations to improve hand hygiene on medical sites and are advised to use hand hygiene monitoring systems.

After numerous management efforts, hygiene monitoring systems are introduced, which send notifications and alerts to individuals for washing their hands and maintaining hygiene. A hand hygiene monitoring system can be a badge or wristband worn by the healthcare worker with a sensor at the patient bed, which detects the level of hygiene.

The worldwide hand hygiene system market is valued at USD 4591.96 Million in 2022. The market is further expected to surpass a valuation of USD 11,965.57 Million by end of 2032. The hand hygiene monitoring system is likely to grow with a CAGR of 9.8% in the forecast period.

Some hand hygiene monitoring systems have sensors or biometrics attached to the soap and sanitizer dispenser, which can determine if the caretaker has washed their hands before and after the interaction with the patient. The hand hygiene monitoring system generates and compiles the performance data of all the caretakers to later take action if missed washing their hands. Hand hygiene monitoring systems are available with different features such as real-time activity, historical data, statistical representation, etc.

Hand Hygiene Monitoring System: Market Dynamics

Growth Drivers

“saves time and human resources”

Caretakers in hospitals and medical facilities are often preoccupied with a lot workload and multitasking. The demand for hand hygiene monitoring systems is increasing because of their systematic and accurate control, significant reduction in the spread of infection, easy implementation, and cost-effectiveness. The implementation of hand hygiene monitoring systems has increased, by almost more than five folds reducing the number of cases of infectious diseases. Patient satisfaction and trust are the underlining benefits of hand hygiene monitoring systems.

These systems allow quantitative monitoring which cost only for installation and maintenance. The savage cost of training and employing additional human resources is a benefit for the organization. The creation of safer workplaces and lower cost of manual monitoring are benefits of hand hygiene monitoring systems.

The global hand hygiene monitoring system market is expected to foresee exponential growth owing to the increasing implementation of hand hygiene monitoring systems by hospitals and healthcare units. Recommendations and guidelines from government units and safety precautions laid by healthcare organizations subtly pressurize healthcare clinics and hospitals to implement hand hygiene monitoring systems. The number of players entering the hand hygiene monitoring systems market has increased, with advanced and latest technologies and features.

Restraints

One of the major restraints in the penetration of hand hygiene monitoring systems is a lack of awareness about usage and operations. These factors tend to limit the usage of these machines in developing economies like India and China. The incorrect patterns of behavior and heavy workloads are often considered challenges that limit the penetration of hand hygiene monitoring systems.

Regional Outlook

In terms of geography, the global hand hygiene monitoring system market is segmented into eight regions including North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Asia- Pacific excluding China & Japan (APECJ), China, Japan, Middle-East & Africa, and Latin America.

North America is expected to be the most dominating market for the hand hygiene monitoring system market due to the rise in per capita expenditure on healthcare and technological advancements. Western Europe is expected to witness fast growth in the global hand hygiene monitoring system market

The Asia Pacific excluding China and Japan hand hygiene monitoring system market is expected to account for high growth over the forecast period due to growing demand from hospitals and clinics. China and Japan are expected to gain significant shares in the global hand hygiene monitoring system market due to an increase in demand as well as the number of manufacturers.

Segment wise analysis

Based on the type direct observations are widely used in the monitoring of hand hygiene. There are several drawbacks associated with this method as it involved a high cost of operations. Automatic hand hygiene systems are proven to be a beneficial decision by many hospitals owing to feasibility and appropriateness. The portable hand hygiene monitoring systems are expected to gain maximum market share in the forecast period owing to flexibility.

Based on the end users segment the hospital segment is anticipated to see growth in hand hygiene monitoring systems due to the large need for maintenance of hygiene. After covid-19 the hospital segment is anticipated to increase spending on the maintenance of hand hygiene in order to prevent the transmission of contaminants. These institutes are shifting to automatic hand hygiene monitoring systems from prior manual monitoring.
