Weekly poll: IC and safety market
Both the infection prevention and safety markets are expected to grow 4.8% annually, reaching $23.5 billion in 2013, according to a study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., in Cleveland.
Some might see this as a beneficial development, translating into more products, safer options, and better technology to prevent infections and ensure healthcare worker safety.
Others might argue this market growth will drive up prices when healthcare facilities are already struggling financially.
What do you think? How will this market growth affect how you do your job?
