Global Point-of-Care Infection Control Market Overview

Western Market Research estimates that the Global Point-of-Care Infection Control Market was valued at USD XXXX million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD XXXX million by 2036, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2026–2036.

Point-of-care (POC) infection control solutions are designed to prevent cross-contamination at or near the patient site, encompassing skin antisepsis, environmental disinfection, device-related contamination control, and workflow-embedded safety tools. Market growth is driven by the rising burden of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), stricter infection-prevention protocols, expansion of ambulatory and homecare services, and increasing adoption of rapid, user-friendly, and protocol-compliant solutions.

This study integrates primary research (infection-prevention specialists, hospital procurement teams, manufacturers) with secondary analysis (policy frameworks, standards, historical adoption). The assessment evaluates product efficacy, workflow integration, compliance, reimbursement dynamics, and regional adoption.


Impact of COVID-19 on the Point-of-Care Infection Control Market

COVID-19 accelerated adoption across all care settings due to heightened awareness of infection risks. Key impacts included:

  • Rapid uptake of skin antisepsis and surface disinfection at care points

  • Expansion of single-use and contamination-reducing devices

  • Sustained post-pandemic demand as protocols became institutionalized

While supply chains faced short-term pressure, long-term demand remained structurally higher.
