Global Chemical Indicator Inks Market Overview
The employment of indicator inks in the fabrication of intravenous treatment (IV) & blood bags and containers to prevent infection is expected to raise market demand. The market’s demand has grown as hospitals increasingly use labels and tags to indicate that the sterilization process of the instruments has been completed. Over the forecast period, rising R&D spending by industry players for the development of effective products for use in various sterilization methods is expected to drive market expansion.
Over the next eight years, the rising incidence of nosocomial illnesses, combined with rigorous requirements imposed by regulatory organizations such as the EPA and the EU requiring mandatory sterilization of surgical items such as surgical bags and pouches, is likely to boost product demand. Raw material price changes, on the other hand, are a key stumbling block to the market’s expansion.
