The Increasing Demand for Healthcare Environmental Services: Trends and Drivers
The US healthcare environmental services market
is projected to reach USD 8.7 billion by 2026 from USD 6.6 billion in
2021, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. Growth in the market
is majorly driven by stringent government regulations for effective
infection control, advancements in cleaning technology, and the rising
prevalence of HAIs. With a surge in COVID-19 cases, there is an
increasing focus on hygiene & control practices and the rising need
to reduce the spread of infection, thus supporting the market growth.
The

services market include Sodexo Global (France), Compass Group (UK),
Aramark Corporation (US), Hospital Housekeeping Systems, Inc. (HHS)

International, Inc. (US), Healthcare Services Group, Inc. (US),
ServiceMaster Clean (US), Bravo Building Services (US), and Corvus

locations across US.

Driver: Increasing prevalence of Hospital- acquired infections (HAIs)
Hospital-acquired
infections (HAIs) are nosocomial infections that occur during a
patient’s stay at hospitals and related facilities. HAIs are not
observed at admission and are considered a major cause of morbidity and
mortality worldwide. These infections include central line-associated
bloodstream infections, surgical-site infections, catheter-associated
urinary tract infections, hospital-acquired pneumonia,
ventilator-associated pneumonia, and Clostridium difficile infections.
With the increasing prevalence of HAIs, healthcare facilities are
deploying contract-based healthcare environmental services to implement
infection prevention & control strategies to maintain high quality
and infection prevention standards in their facilities.
Opportunity: Sustained acquisition among strategic & financial buyers
There
is a highly active group of sponsor-backed strategic acquirers, in
addition to significant M&A activity in the healthcare environmental
services sector. Such developments help increase respective market
shares and offer new niche products & services.
