DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Acute Care Needleless Connectors Market Size, Market Share, Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Growth Trends, Key Players, Competitive Strategies and Forecasts, 2018 To 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The acute care needleless connectors market was valued at USD 648.8 Mn in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 1,029.6 Mn by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2018 to 2026.
The growing prevalence of the needlestick injury which leads to the risk of bloodborne viral infection is one of the major reasons assisting the growth of acute care needleless connectors market. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 385,000 sharps injuries occur annually among healthcare facilities including hospitals, clinics & ambulatory centers caused due to an error of healthcare personnel.
However, the use of acute care needleless connectors is increasing in all healthcare facilities as it prevents the proliferation of any virus transmission caused due to needles. The complications associated with catheters present inside the catheter lumen may lead to the disruption or delay of infusion therapy, reduces the pace of the patient's progress toward therapeutic milestones, increases the length of stay, and high healthcare cost.
Needleless connectors enhance the treatment efficiency provided by the nursing staff in medication administration and drawing blood from the attached catheter. Due to its several advantages, acute care needleless connectors are extensively applied in healthcare settings such as acute care hospitals and ambulatory centers where intravenous administration of drugs and blood collection is important throughout the course of treatment.
North America was observed as the largest acute care needleless connectors market due to key driving factors such as raising awareness related to disadvantages of conventional needle-based catheters, high accessibility & availability of needleless connectors, and an increasing number of ambulatory centers due to convenience & cost-efficiency.
During the forecast period from 2018 to 2026, Asia Pacific was observed as the fastest growing region due to the rising prevalence of bloodborne diseases, developing hospitals infrastructure along with acute care hospitals, and increasing expansion of market players in countries such as China, India, Malaysia & Indonesia.
