Sterilization and Disinfectant Products segment is Expected to Register High Growth in the Forecast Period
Disinfection is the process of eliminating or reducing harmful microorganisms from inanimate objects and surfaces, sterilization is the process of killing all microorganisms. Sterilization destroys the spores of various organisms present on surfaces, in liquids, in medication, or compounds such as biological culture media. Sterilization and Disinfectant Products are necessary for hospitals to prevent the spread of diseases like hospital-acquired infections (HAI). Since cancer is one of the few diseases which are essential and thus will require hospital visits even during pandemics. Thus, increasing patient visits due to cancer will increase the consumption of sterilization and disinfectant products as cancer patients often have weak immune systems during the therapy session. This will increase the demand for sterilization and disinfectant products in the UAE, which will help the growth of the market. Product launches are another factor in market growth. For instance, in June 2020, a liquid-free hospital-grade UVLicht Sterilizer was launched in the UAE for disinfecting small items. The hospital-grade UVLicht Sterilizer can clean personal objects like bank cards, keys, and cell phones. The Pro gadget, which is offered in Pro and Lite editions, can also be used to clean small medical instruments. Using ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), a disinfection technique that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to destroy or inactivate microorganisms, both versions sanitize objects by exposing them to it. This kind of gadget is especially appropriate for electronic products because no liquid is utilized throughout the procedure. Similarly, in May 2020, Guard Sanitizing Gate was launched in the UAE. It is a walk-through offering that features an automatic 360-degree disinfection barrier for use in hospitals and public spaces. Hence, such product launches are expected to increase market growth. Thus, the abovementioned factors are expected to increase market growth.
