Nonetheless, the focus on personalized medicines, along with the increasing awareness about the importance of infection control, is anticipated to overcome these challenges and offer recent market opportunities.

Hospital Acquired Disease Testing Market Trends:

Rising Geriatric Population

The demand for hospital-acquired disease (HAD) testing is driven by the increasing geriatric population and the prevalence of chronic illnesses. Due to their complicated medical needs, patients who are elderly or have long-term illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, or respiratory disorders often require staying in the hospital for a longer period. Extended hospital stays increase the chances of acquiring infections like surgical site infections, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) owing to high exposure to hospital surroundings. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there will be 426 million people 80 years of age or older in the world by 2050.

Increasing Prevalence of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs)

Patient Safety Authority states that Pennsylvania's long-term care facilities reported 23,970 infection complaints in 2023. Bloodstream infections, surgical site infections, pneumonia, and UTIs are becoming more common, which is driving the expansion of the hospital acquired infections diagnostics market. Additionally, hospitals must run more diagnostic tests as to detect and treat infections more quickly because of a rise in the number of HAIs. This enhances patient outcomes and benefits in managing the spread within the hospitals. Furthermore, early infection detection through testing can aid in lowering the chances of death rates, shorten hospital stays, and lessen consequences.

Growing Number of Surgical Procedures

As per the research study of the IMARC Group, the global minimally invasive (MI) surgery market reached US$ 52.9 Billion in 2023. The rise in the number of surgeries globally directly correlates with an increased risk of HAIs, particularly surgical site infections (SSIs). More patients are being exposed to the hospital environment because of an increase in surgeries, ranging from routine procedures to complex operations. Surgical procedures usually include incisions or openings in the body, providing entry points for pathogens, increasing the susceptibility to SSIs. Early detection of SSIs benefits in preventing complications like wound dehiscence, sepsis, and delayed healing, which can thereby lead to prolonged hospital stays and increased healthcare costs.

Hospital Acquired Disease Testing Market Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global and regional for 2025-2033. Our report has categorized the market based on indication.

Breakup by Indication:

• UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)
• SSI (Surgical Site Infection)
• Pneumonia
• Bloodstream Infections
• MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)
• Others
   

UTI (urinary tract infection) accounts for the majority of the market share

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the indication. This includes UTI (urinary tract infection), SSI (surgical site infection), pneumonia, bloodstream infections, MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus), and others. According to the report, UTI (urinary tract infection) represented the largest segment.

One of the most prevalent kinds of HAIs is UTI (urinary tract infection), which mostly affects patients in intensive care units (ICUs), those with indwelling catheters, and those who stay overnight. UTIs during hospital stays are more common in the elderly, in people with compromised immune systems, and in people with long-term medical illnesses including diabetes. Because these susceptible populations are so common in healthcare settings, there is a significant need for diagnostic testing to identify UTIs. Furthermore, early discovery through testing lowers the possibility of these issues, which enhances patient outcomes and lowers medical expenses.

Breakup by Region:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Middle East and Africa
• Latin America
   

North America leads the market, accounting for the largest hospital acquired disease testing market share

The report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the major regional markets, which include North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. According to the report, North America represents the largest regional market for hospital acquired disease testing.

North America boasts a highly developed healthcare system with advanced medical facilities, a high number of hospitals, and state-of-the-art technologies. In addition, favorable government initiatives are compelling hospitals and healthcare facilities to adopt frequent testing for these diseases to meet compliance standards. Apart from this, the rising geriatric population in the North American region is supporting the market growth. As reported by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), 82 million Americans are expected to be 65 years of age or older by 2050.
