Klintensiv is a local producer and supplier of disinfectants and cleaning products, mainly known for professional medical disinfectants, for institutions, office spaces, HoReCa, and household cleaning products.

In the context of the recent evolution of the disinfectants market, the company commissioned the MKOR team to carry out a behavior study to delve into the decision-making process regarding the purchase of these products in private clinics and hospitals.

We have collected and analyzed market data for a customized study with a dual purpose: understanding the consumer behavior in the medical field regarding the acquisition of disinfectants, as well as brand tracking analysis.

Klintensiv is the only producer in Romania that develops sterilization products with a prolonged action for the cleaning of medical devices, respectively. The products are sterilized through filtration to 0.2 microns and irradiation (Gamma).

The study of the ‘Disinfectants Market in Romania’ conducted by MKOR Consulting includes a detailed examination of purchasing preferences and decision-making factors in the professional disinfectants segment, with a focus on product quality and brand recognition.

7 out of 10 doctors in private clinics prefer accredited disinfectant suppliers

The study highlights the concern for cleaning and hygiene, with an emphasis on the quality of disinfection of surfaces and instruments in Romanian clinics.

One of the study’s objectives is to understand the attitudes and behaviors of medical staff regarding the purchase of disinfectants, as well as to assess the level of knowledge and performance perceived of the Klintensiv brand among potential clients.

For this market research, a quantitative study was conducted, using a telephone survey data collection instrument, carried out with the support of interview operators.

Key results:

  • 7 out of 10 doctors making decisions in Romanian clinics consider the certification or accreditation of suppliers to be the most important aspect in the decision to purchase;
  • The main use of disinfectants is for surface disinfection, being used to a large extent in 8 out of 10 institutions;
  • 73% of the institutions that took part in the study purchase products for instrument disinfection, and 64% for disinfecting soft surfaces;
  • The cabinets for examining patients are among the most disinfected areas, followed by waiting areas, then instruments and medical equipment, and toilets.

Several factors play a total responsibility in the decision-making process for the use of medical surface disinfection products. The brand of the product purchased, the website of the Ministry of Health, and the product manufacturer’s direct sales are the main sources of information when it comes to purchasing disinfectants.

Previous experience and trust in the supplier are, as well, important factors.
