Global Chlorhexidine Gluconate Cloth Market Highlights

The global chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) cloth market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.20% during the forecast period with a market value of USD 15.46 Billion by 2030. Surgical site infections (SSI) are common surgical complications. The Safe Care Campaign states that in surgical patients 38% of all nosocomial infections are caused due to surgical site infections.

However, side-effects of CHG products are likely to restrain the market growth over the forecast period.
