Report Code : CVMI2603252601425 | Published Date : March 30, 2025
1 | Market Overview
The global market for chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) wipes is growing steadily due to increasing demand for infection control in healthcare environments. CHG wipes are antimicrobial skin wipes widely used for preoperative skin preparation, patient bathing in ICUs, and preventing catheter-related infections. Their use helps lower the incidence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) such as bloodstream infections (BSIs) and surgical site infections (SSIs).
The market growth is driven by rising global healthcare-associated infection rates, increased focus on patient safety, and greater adoption in home care and outpatient procedures. Advances in skin-friendly formulations and the growing preference for alcohol-free CHG wipes also help expand the market.
