The chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) dressing market is set for substantial growth, with projections indicating a rise from USD 952.1 million in 2023 to over USD 1.5 billion by 2033. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% throughout the forecast period.

The market’s expansion is driven by the heightened emphasis on infection prevention in healthcare settings. With a growing focus on preventing surgical site infections and other wound-related infections, healthcare practitioners and organizations are increasingly adopting chlorhexidine gluconate dressings as a key preventative strategy.

Chlorhexidine gluconate dressings are renowned for their effectiveness in reducing bacterial load and minimizing the risk of wound infections. Their rising popularity reflects a broader shift towards improved infection control practices and patient safety measures in medical environments.

The healthcare industries of emerging nations, notably those in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, are expanding rapidly. Increased investments in healthcare infrastructure, rising disposable incomes, and expanding knowledge of advanced wound care are all expected to contribute to the growth of the chlorhexidine gluconate dressing market in these areas.

The acceptance and use of chlorhexidine gluconate dressing can be strongly influenced by the formulation of guidelines and protocols by healthcare authorities and organisations. The need for chlorhexidine gluconate dressing may increase as regulatory authorities emphasize infection control and standardize wound care practices.

The industry is expanding as a result of hospitals performing an increasing number of surgical operations. Clinical situations involving surgical infections are challenging and complex. As the skin’s surface is thought to be a possible source of germs, it is crucial to clean and prepare the skin before surgery. Currently, the most used skin preparation agent in healthcare settings is chlorhexidine gluconate solution. Additionally, the most typical hospital acquired infections in patients having surgery are caused by surgical site infections. Patients who develop surgical site infections stay in hospitals for longer periods of time and are far more likely to require intensive care unit (ICU) treatment, which drives up costs.
