Important results from the project
The market analysis aims to examine how different target groups in healthcare sector relate to disinfectants in their work and understand what challenges and opportunities they see within the product category. The study answered the following questions: What is the market for disinfectants in healthcare sector? What eligibility requirements are placed on hand and surface disinfection in healthcare sector? What opportunities are there for innovation of disinfection products in healthcare sector? What are the conditions for care units to produce own disinfectant?
Expected long term effects
The insights from the market analysis will form the basis for the commercialization strategy. The situation with Covid-19 means that the results could have looked different if the study had been carried out before the outbreak. Many of the routines mentioned by users are a direct results of new changes in work situations. However, the situation can also be seen as a catalytic factor where participants reflected on routines that normally would not have been a problem but where the crisis exposed shortcomings in both how disinfection is managed and followed up.
Approach and implementation
The study was carried out according to plan.
