Brazil's high-level disinfectants market was worth USD 1.48 billion in 2020. It is expected to grow at an 8.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2021 and 2028. Brazil's increasing number of hospital-acquired infection (HAIs), has driven the need for high-level disinfectants as well as terminal sterilization services. The sudden and severe COVID-19 outbreak has also increased the demand for high-quality healthcare facilities and services to treat infected patients. Sterilization and disinfection products are in high demand on Brazilian markets because they are essential parts of healthcare. The prevention of the spread COVID-19 within healthcare environments is a key role played by sterilization equipment and high-level disinfectants. Market players can expect to reap the benefits of this trend in the next few years.
In light of the increased demand for sterilization and disinfection in Brazil, both the Brazilian government as well as corporations have granted easy regulatory approvals and permissions to new products that are used in the COVID-19 pandemic. This will help meet the increasing demand for high-level disinfectants in Brazil and terminal sterilization services. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) announced in May 2020 that it would provide humanitarian assistance to Brazil for emergencies in water, sanitation and hygiene. This aid will also help to reduce the negative impact of COVID-19 on the country's health.
HAIs are the leading cause of death for hospitalized patients in Brazil. A survey by the Healthcare Infection Society found that in 2018, there was a higher prevalence of ICU-acquired infection in Brazilian hospitals than in most European countries and the U.S. These cases will likely increase demand for high-level disinfectants as well as terminal sterilization services at Brazilian hospitals. These products are vital for sterilization and cleaning different equipment/devices in hospitals. They help reduce the spread of diseases and infections. This will boost Brazil's market growth.
Market growth is expected to be fueled by the increased use of sterilization in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. To kill all forms microbial life, sterilization of packaging and equipment for pharmaceutical manufacturing is crucial. The most common method of sterilization used in the pharmaceutical industry is steam sterilization. Terminal sterilization, which sterilizes a product in its final packaging, is necessary to keep it sterile. The increase in R&D activities will result in an increased demand for sterilization processes within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. These factors will increase sterilization equipment's use, thereby boosting market growth.
Market growth is expected to be fueled by the high incidence of diseases such as cholera, typhoid and dengue. This is primarily due to poor home hygiene. According to the WHO report, Brazil had more than 1.5 million dengue cases in 2019. More than 1.02 million of these cases occurred in the southeast of Brazil. Zika and chikungunya viruses were responsible for 132,205 and 10,768 respectively. Nearly 445,000 cases of dengue fever were reported in Sao Paulo. These diseases are mostly caused by bacteria and viruses. They thrive in unhygienic environments, such as unhealthy homes and unhygienic kitchens. To maintain cleanliness in the home and public places, disinfectant solutions are essential.
The rise in chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes is expected to increase the need for high-level disinfectants in Brazil. The major contributors to chronic disease are antimicrobial resistance, increased sedentary lifestyles and smoking. According to the World Heart Federation Report 2017, cardiovascular diseases account for almost three quarters (74%) all adult deaths in Brazil. The rising incidence of obesity in Brazil has led to an increase in type 2 diabetes (8.8% for women and 7.4% for men). The rising number of chronic conditions has led to an increase in hospital admissions in Brazil. This will have a positive impact on market growth over the forecast period.
The rising number of Brazilian surgical procedures is expected to increase the need for high-level disinfectants as well as terminal sterilization services. According to the International Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), Brazil was the country that performed the most cosmetic/aesthetic procedures in 2018. It has done close to 2,267,405 of these procedures (both non-surgical and surgical). To prevent infection during and after a procedure, sterilizing equipment is essential for any hospital, lab, or clinic. To avoid cross-contamination that could lead to infection, sterilizing medical equipment must be done thoroughly. These factors will likely boost market growth during the forecast period.
With a market share of 29.61%, the aldehydes segment was the dominant player in 2020. This can be attributed to the high prevalence of healthcare-associated infections in Brazilian hospitals (particularly in ICUs). Aldehyde disinfectants can be used during endoscopic procedures and the reprocessing or reprocessing surgical units. Aldehydes are one of the most popular disinfectants for surgical equipment. These products will be in high demand due to increasing surgical procedures in Brazil and the rise of HAIs from improperly reprocessing surgical units. This segment is expected to be lucrative over the forecast period.
From 2021 to 2028, the segment of chlorine compounds is expected to grow at a 9.20% CAGR. This is due to an increase in food-borne and water-borne diseases in Brazil. According to the Brazilian Ministry of Health's Department of Health Surveillance (Ministry of Health), there were approximately 13,163 cases of food-borne disease in Brazil between 2000-2018. Because of their strong oxidizing capabilities, chlorine compounds are the best disinfectants. These compounds are used for the disinfection and treatment of hard surfaces and water. These situations are expected to increase the demand for chlorine disinfectants.
The hospitals segment was dominant in 2020 with a 54.00% share. It is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2021 and 2028. The key drivers of this segment are an increase in hospital-acquired infection, a rise of surgical procedures and a growing patient population in Brazil. Use of sterilization and disinfectants that are suitable for your situation is essential to prevent infection transmission.
The clinics' segment growth is also due to an increase in surgical procedures. To maintain a healthy clinic environment, it is important to ensure that there are good hygiene standards and proper sanitation. Preventive measures are required to stop the spread and spread of COVID-19. Clinics have begun taking preventive steps. These factors will drive clinics to adopt sterilization and disinfection services, which is expected to boost the segment's growth during the forecast period.
With a 34.96% share, the segment of ethylene oxide (EtO), dominated the market in 2020. Since the early 20th-century, EtO has been used as a low temperature sterilization method. It has been compatible with all medical devices and materials. This sterilization method is an alternative to steam/dry heating for sterilizing heat-sensitive or moisture-intolerant surgical equipment. This technique can also be used to treat items or devices that are sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, thereby increasing the growth of segments.
From 2021 to 2028, the moist heat sterilization market is expected to grow at a highest CAGR of 9.30%. These techniques have become more popular over the last decade due to their use in the dairy, pharmaceutical and R&D industries. These methods have many advantages, including the ability to sterilize liquids, nontoxicity, and low cost. This is boosting their market penetration. In hospitals and clinics, moist heat sterilization can be used to disinfect surgical equipment such as scalpels. These factors will help the segment continue its growth in the future.
Participants in this vertical are involved in key initiatives such as new product launches and strategic alliances. In March 2019, Getinge introduced the 9100E Cart Washer. With its quick cycle time of just 10 minutes, it is intended to reduce the operational and financial risks hospitals face.
Partnerships and mergers & acquisitions are used by companies to diversify their product range, improve their manufacturing capabilities, and increase their competitiveness. For example, Johnson & Johnson's Advanced Sterilization Products division, which was a division of Ethicon, Inc., was acquired by Fortive Corporation in April 2019 for approximately USD 2.8 billion. Fortive would market infection prevention products. In a similar vein, Nordion, Inc., and Westinghouse Electric Company, signed a contract in February 2020 to develop advanced isotope manufacturing technology that would enable Cobalt-60 production in Pressurized Water Reactors. Both companies will increase the supply of Cobalt-60 through this alliance. This product is important in the reduction of pathogens in food products and in decontamination medical devices.
