Besides these forecasts, the report also lays down the various factors working against the HAIs control market. These include an absence of the right infrastructure and primary healthcare facilities. There is a pressing need for well-trained staff to manage hospital acquired infections, which if left unaddressed, could dent the market further.

The team of analysts that worked on this report finds that in the global context, the HAIs control market will grow considerably because the occurrence of hospital acquired infections has risen. Moreover, as the number of aged people—an age group that’s especially vulnerable to infections—rises, analysts expect to see a parallel rise in the number of older people suffering from HAIs. The problem of hospital acquired infections is especially serious in regions with a tropical climate, which will understandably prompt more investments in HAI control. The HAIs control market is also impelled by governments taking an added interest in mitigation measures.

Hospital acquired infections, which are also referred to as nosocomial infections, can affect a patient during prolonged hospital stays. The occurrence of HAIs can be put down to the absence of the right kind of hospital infrastructure, lack of enough sensitization to pathogen transmission and hospitals not diligently following stipulated infection control practices.

Fastest growth within the global HAIs control market will be seen in the cleaning and sterilization segment. The report also observes that there will be considerable demand for HAIs control equipment in treating primary bloodstream infections.

The report notes that North America holds the largest share in the global HAIs control market essentially because the advanced healthcare facilities that exist here. The HAIs control market in North America stood at US$ 21,319.2 million in 2014 and is forecast to rise to US$ 34,430.3 million by the end of 2020, registering a CAGR of 8.3%. Among other crucial findings of the report is this: Asia Pacific will exhibit the fastest growth among all regions through the forecast period of the report, largely because of the growing pervasiveness of HAIs here.

Upcoming Reports:

(1) - Ammonium Laureth Sulphate Market - Global Industry Expert Opinions Analysis, Emerging Opportunities, Market Size, Share, Growth Drivers, Market Trends, Statistics And Forecast 2015 - 2020

Ammonium laureth sulphate or ammonium lauryl ether sulfate (ALES) is an anionic surfactant. It belongs to the alcohol ethoxy sulphate (AES) group. Ammonium laureth sulfate (ALES) is a free flowing, clear liquid, which is soluble in water but insoluble in waxes, fats and oils. Ammonium laureth sulfate (ALES) is a non-hazardous but acutely toxic chemical if ingested, inhaled or exposed through dermal contact. It is known to cause irritation and sensitization if exposed. Ammonium laureth sulfate (ALES) is a widely used type of anionic surfactant, typically found in personal care products, industrial cleaners, mild dishwashing liquids, fabric cleaners, emulsion polymers and household cleaning products.

Ammonium laureth sulfate (ALES) is used as foaming and cleaning agent in personal care products, household and industrial cleaners where mildness is essential. It is extensively used in the shampoos, shower gels, cleansers and bath products. The Ammonium laureth sulfate (ALES) market is driven by its demand in personal care products and household cleaners applications. However, easy substitutability is the major restraint for the Ammonium laureth sulfate (ALES) market. New applications in the automotive industry as non corrosive cleaners in the engine compartment could be prospective market opportunities for further demand growth.


(2) - Magnesium Market - Global Industry Expert Opinions Analysis, Emerging Opportunities, Market Size, Share, Growth Drivers, Market Trends, Statistics And Forecast 2015 - 2020

The global market for magnesium is highly consolidated in terms of production value, with China being the leader. In 2013, China produced nearly 770,000 tons of magnesium, accounting for more than 85% of the total production value of the entire globe. With a continuous rise in the country’s production value, China is projected to continue its dominance in the world market for magnesium over the next many years. However, the Chinese magnesium industry is suffering from an apparent consolidation – eight Chinese magnesium producers rank amongst the top 10 of the world. Moreover, domestic competition is at paramount level and operating rate is barely more than 50%.

China is not only the world’s topmost producer of magnesium but also the most dominant consumer of the metal. North America, Europe, Russia, and Japan are other major markets for magnesium. Of the key applications of magnesium, the report states that aluminum alloys are the primary takers of magnesium worldwide. Although, recently, die-casting alloys have outpaced the use of aluminum alloys due to their increased use in the automotive industry. Magnesium die-cast alloys also find applications in the manufacturing of housings for laptops, tablets, communication devices, and electronic equipment.


(3) - Lauric Acid Market - Global Industry Expert Opinions Analysis, Emerging Opportunities, Market Size, Share, Growth Drivers, Market Trends, Statistics And Forecast 2015 - 2020

Lauric acid is also known by its chemical name dodecanoic acid. Lauric acid is a natural saturated fatty acids that are made from plants and animals as energy reserves. Lauric acid is the most potent fatty acid that is naturally found in coconut oil which mainly consists of approximately 12-carbon atoms chain. Lauric acid is a solid at room temperature but melts easily in boiling water. As lauric acid falls into the medium fatty acid chain it is generally white, powdery solid that has a faint baby soap or oil odour. Lauric acid belongs to the group of triglycerides.

Lauric acid is a major constituent of laurel oil, and in palm kernel oil. Lauric acid is otherwise uncommon in nature. However, lauric acid constitutes to about 2.9% of the cow’s milk and 3.1% of the goats milk. Unlike many fatty acids lauric acid has a stronger shelf life, its non-toxic and is also safe to handle. Dietary sources of the lauric acid include human and animal milk, seeds, dairy products, nuts and their oils. Lauric acid has several benefits to the health as it possess various properties such as capric caid and butyric acid. In the body lauric acid is usually converted into monolaurin and monoglyceride compounds that exhibit several properties such as antifungal, antiviral, antimicrobial and antiprotozoal properties. Lauric acid unlike several other fatty acids is generally inexpensive, non-toxic and has a longer shelf-life and hence has a wide range of applications in many end-use industries.
