Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), also known as nosocomial infections, are infections that develop during a hospital stay, typically after 48 hours of admission. Common HAIs include bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, surgical site infections, and pneumonia, often caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. This session will focus on infection prevention, antimicrobial stewardship, rapid diagnostics, surveillance, and innovative strategies to reduce the burden of HAIs and improve patient safety.
Market Analysis:
The global HAI prevention and control market continues to grow due to increasing awareness of infection prevention, rising antimicrobial resistance, and advancements in sterilization and diagnostic technologies. As of 2026, the market is estimated at approximately USD 34 billion and is projected to exceed USD 53 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of around 9%. Growth is driven by stronger infection control policies, expanding healthcare infrastructure, and increasing adoption of advanced monitoring and sterilization technologies, with North America leading the market and Asia-Pacific emerging as the fastest-growing region.
