The Freedonia Group Incorporated is a leading international industry study/database company. Founded in 1985, Freedonia publishes more than 125 studies each year, covering such areas as building materials, chemicals, health care, packaging, pharmaceuticals, plastics, security and many other industries. Studies cover entire industry sectors as well as key niche markets. Each study includes such valuable intelligence as growth markets and products, market share, product analyses and forecasts, market analyses and forecasts, and company profiles. Studies specific to the US also place the industry into its international context.

This comprehensive study examines the US market for infection prevention products and services, covering:

Protective Apparel & Textiles (medical and laboratory gloves, surgical drapes, surgical gowns, surgical and staff face masks, and other apparel and textiles)
Safety-Enhanced Medical Devices (catheters, hypodermic syringes, blood collection tubes and other devices such as surgical scalpels)
Sterilization Supplies (sterile containers, sterilization wrap and sterilization indicators)
Disinfectants (surface disinfectants, surgical disinfectants, instrument disinfectants and hand sanitizers)
Waste Disposal Containers and Accessories
Infection Prevention Equipment (sterilization equipment, washing/disinfecting systems and medical waste processing equipment)
Infection Prevention Services (medical waste disposal services and contract sterilization services)

Unless otherwise indicated, all statistics and forecasts represent demand for infection prevention products and services stated in current US dollars. Unit demand is also provided for selected product groups. The term 'demand' is equivalent to 'value of consumption' or 'manufacturers' sales' and correlates to the value of domestic production plus imports minus exports.

Historical data (2000, 2005, 2010) and forecasts to 2015 and 2020 are presented for infection prevention products and services by type and market. Markets covered include hospitals, outpatient facilities, physicians' offices, dental offices, nursing homes other health care establishments and life science facilities.

Demand statistics and forecasts presented for some protective apparel and textiles and disinfectants vary from those appearing in the previous edition of this study -- #2526 published in September 2009. The differences reflect the use of a narrower definition of infection prevention, which only includes garments, textiles and disinfectants with active antimicrobial properties or ingredients.

Corporate information and data appearing in Section VI, 'Industry Structure,' are based on estimates derived from published company reports and personal interviews with competitors, industry experts and sources within the companies themselves. Macroeconomic indicators were taken from The Freedonia Group Consensus Forecasts dated August 2011. The sum of individual components appearing in the study tables may not always add to the apparent total due to independent rounding. All ratios were calculated on the basis of unrounded numbers.

It should be noted that the historical data and forecasts appearing for the various types of infection prevention products and services represent actual and projected demand in health care and life science applications only. Since the last version of the study, some product groups have been redefined and estimates of historical and projected demand have been changed.

Information and data related to the US infection prevention market were obtained from a variety of primary and secondary sources, including government agencies, trade associations, industry participants, online databases and other Freedonia studies.

Primary information was gathered through consultations with officers and marketing/technical personnel of participating companies and other industry specialists. Secondary and background information was obtained from several health care publications, including Biomedical Newsletter, Drug Development & Delivery, Healthcare Packaging, Infection Control Today, Medical Design Technology, Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry, Medical Plastics and Biomaterials, Medical Product Manufacturing News, Pharmaceutical Technology and Qmed.

Corporate annual reports, SEC Form 10-K filings, product catalogs and other company information were also used extensively in framing the industry environment and as input for market size assessments.
