Flu is an acronym for “influenza”. Influenza is an infectious disease that is caused by the influenza virus. A person suffering from flu experiences fever, running nose, sore throat, muscle pain, cough, fatigue, and headache. To date, the most dangerous categories of flu determined are swine flu and Ebola virus. These bacteria are said to result in fatal consequences for the victim as well medical caregivers on detection of mishandling procedures. Flu protection kits thus come into the picture to prevent any catastrophic events.
A flu protection kit generally involves gloves, goggles, full-body suits, bandage sprays, antibacterial wipes, tissues, environmentally friendly bags, sanitizers, sheets, and duct tapes. Such equipment helps the medical caregivers to functional efficiency and helps the victim to recover from such virus. Though flu protection kits do not eliminate the spread of viruses, they can reduce the risk of infection to a significant level. With the growing population, flu strains are being discovered frequently and it is obvious that the flu protection kit efficiently fights against harmful bacteria & viruses.
The major driving factors for the global flu protection kit are the increasing global population, the discovery of new and unknown strains of viruses, and enhanced healthcare infrastructure in developing markets. In addition, government initiatives to implement proper handling techniques for flu patients have added to the growth of this market. Prominent market players enjoy a significant global position in terms of providing medicine& vaccination in the remote and rural areas of developing countries.
However, lack of awareness in public and no sufficient and concrete policies by the government is considered as some of the major hindrances in the global flu protection market. Possibilities such as compromising on the safety of patients by providing cost-effective and low-quality flu protection kits are another danger the market witnesses.
Based on geographic segmentation, the global flu protection kits market spans North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. North America dominates the global flu protection kits market owing to growing awareness of treatments and enhanced healthcare systems. APAC regions are projected to be the growing markets due to the dense population, large and faster-growing economies that have started focusing on improving healthcare regulations and infrastructure. The key players in the global flu protection kit market include e-first aid Supplies, Evav8, Pandemic Protection, Life Secure, Bell cross Medical, 1-800 Prepare, Quake Kare and Birdflu Smart.
