In developed nations, pre-operative bathing is already recommended by most of the organizations. However, there is a change in recommendation seen in these regions. For instance, in 2014, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a draft for their intended updates to their recommendations for preoperative patient skin cleansing and for the prevention of SSI.
The updated recommendation now no longer specifically recommend the use of an antiseptic, but allow for cleansing with either an antiseptic or soap and water. Similarly, the Association for Per-Operative Registered Nurses (AORN) has also changed its recommendation of two times cleansing with CHG to one time cleansing with soap or an antiseptic.
The scenario is slightly different in the APAC region where the organizations are focused on imposing pre-operative bathing recommendations unlike the developed countries that are in debate whether CHG is a better substance for pre-operative bathing. Many organizations strongly recommend at least one shower (antiseptic/non-antiseptic) prior to the surgery. Any drastic changes in the regulations/recommendations may hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
Surgical-site infections (SSIs) account for over US$ 3.0 billion in healthcare costs per year, with more than 150,000 new cases occurring annually in the U.S. A large portion of this cost is attributed to lengthy hospital stay, readmissions, and recurrent surgeries for infected patients. The same is true across the world. According to the WHO, health care-associated infections are more frequent in resource-limited settings than in developed countries.
The WHO estimates that, the healthcare associated infection prevalence varies from 5.7% to 19.1% among lower-middle income countries. The concerns with rising number of surgical site infections is driving authorities to increase awareness and take actions towards reducing the number of surgical site infections. One such action is the recommendation for the use of antiseptic bathing products for pre-operative cleansing of skin.
A number of factors pose as an opportunity for the expansion of the antiseptic bathing market. For an instance, growing number of surgeries and focus on to prevent surgical site infection along with increasing adoption in the emerging regions prove to drive the market growth significantly. Also, a large number of local players are slowly emerging in the APAC region. Integration with these players could help create strong foothold in the APAC region for antiseptic bathing product manufacturers.
Globally, the ageing population is growing. Every country in the world is experiencing growth in the proportion of ageing population. For instance, according to the World Bank, the percentage of people older than 65 years has increased from 9.7% in 2015 to 10.1% in 2016 in China. Similarly, in the US, percentage of people older than 65 years increased from 14.6% to 15.0% from 2015 to 2016. There are a number of disease associated with old age that include Cardiovascular disease, Osteoporosis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Dementia, Cancer, Diabetes and many others. This will in turn lead to increased hospitalization and further boost the growth of the antiseptic bathing market.
A number of organizations including the Asia Pacific Society of Infection Control have poor recommendation for use of antiseptic bathing products including the WHO. WHO states, it is a good clinical practice for patients to bath or shower prior to surgery. However, the panel suggests that either plain or antimicrobial soap may be used for the purpose. The panel has decided not to formulate a recommendation for the use of CHG wipes for the purpose of reducing surgical-site infection due to low quality of evidence.
Similarly, the Asia Pacific Society of Infection Control assessed that studies with the use of 4% CHG showers and 2% CHG impregnated cloths in combination with CHG bathing for sustainable decrease in skin bacterial decolonization, which also failed to demonstrate the decrease in SSIs. Thereby the organization concluded that the current evidence suggests that there is no significant difference between plain bathing and antiseptic bathing. The lack of evidence has hindered the recommendation for use of antiseptic bathing by a number of organizations, which is expected to hinder the growth of the market significantly.
