Furthermore, according to the same source, 3 million people are treated in emergency department due to fall injury each year, globally.

The increasing incidence of road traffic injuries among people globally is another factor driving the global alcohol swab market growth. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) February 2020 report, road traffic is the leading cause of death of children and young adults who are in the age group of 5 to 20 years. Furthermore, according to the same source, estimated 20 million to 50 million suffer from fatal injury, globally. Therefore, increasing incidence of road accidents result in increasing demand for alcohol swab to clean skin before giving injection to patients.
