COVID-19 Impact on US Healthcare Environmental Services Market
According to our analysis, the below factors are playing a key role in shaping the growth of the market;
US Healthcare Environmental Services Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing prevalence of Hospital- acquired infections (HAIs)
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are nosocomial infections that occur during a patient’s stay at hospitals and related facilities. HAIs are not observed at admission and are considered a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These infections include central line-associated bloodstream infections, surgical-site infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, hospital-acquired pneumonia, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and Clostridium difficile infections. With the increasing prevalence of HAIs, healthcare facilities are deploying contract-based healthcare environmental services to implement infection prevention & control strategies to maintain high quality and infection prevention standards in their facilities.
Restraint: Healthcare facilities with an in-house EVS department
Many healthcare facilities, especially hospitals, have their environmental services (EVS) team. EVS workers or EVS technicians are trained non-clinical healthcare staff within a healthcare facility. To cut outsourcing costs and maintain facility standards, various healthcare providers have their own EVS team providing all the necessary environmental services by owning a well-trained team who undertakes the cleaning of products and equipment.
Opportunity: Sustained acquisition among strategic & financial buyers
There is a highly active group of sponsor-backed strategic acquirers, in addition to significant M&A activity in the healthcare environmental services sector. Such developments help increase respective market shares and offer new niche products & services.
Challenge: Non-compliance with cleaning standards by EVS provider
The noncompliance with established standards among environmental service providers is likely to increase the rate of healthcare-associated infections causing preventable deaths. This is a major challenge for environmental service providers as health facilities are not confident in partaking in such service contracts. Environmental service companies are designing structured training programs and EVS training modules to educate their staff regarding the importance of disinfection in healthcare settings; guidelines and regulations must be effectively communicated to improve compliance.
The janitorial/ core-cleaning services segment accounted for the largest share of the US healthcare environmental services market in 2022
Based on type, the US healthcare environmental services market is segmented into janitorial/core-cleaning services, infection control & prevention services, enhanced cleaning technology, front-of-house cleaning & brand experience, and other services. In 2020, the janitorial/core-cleaning services segment accounted for the largest share in the market, due to rising number of COVID-19 patient admissions in health facilities in the US. The dire need to prevent COVID-19 infection spread among patients is therefore responsible for increasing the adoption of such services.
The acute-care facilities segment is expected to grow at the highest growth during the forecast period
Based on facility type, the US healthcare environmental services market is segmented into acute-care, post-acute care, and non-acute care facilities. In 2022, the acute-care facilities segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Acute-care facilities, comprising various hospital types, have witnessed the highest adoption of outsourcing services in recent years. The rising HAIs in these health settings has led to the adoption of more stringent infection control practices.
