The global Sterilization Technologies market was valued at $7,200.53 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $12,782.65 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.9% from 2021 to 2030.
Sterilization technologies is a process used to eliminate all viable life forms including bacteria, prions, viruses, fungi, and spore forms from surfaces of equipment, pharmaceuticals, medications, food ingredients, and biological culture medium. There is increase in demand for disinfection and sterilization of medical instruments and devices to avoid and reduce the probability of transmission of microorganisms through surgical devices. Many medical devices and equipment manufacturers, post designing and manufacturing, sterilize the equipment using sterilization technologies, such as gamma, steam, X-rays, ethylene oxide (EO), and others.
Increase in usage of single-use disposable devices has increased the adoption of sterilization practices during the manufacturing of medical devices. Many healthcare regulatory bodies are concerned over reducing healthcare costs by speeding up device and drug approval processes. Faster approvals are expected to boost the demand for new sterility testing methods, which are anticipated to compel innovative market players to spend more on advanced sterilization solutions.
Recent developments in the sterilization technologies market focus on low temperature sterilization systems. Further, commercially available low-temperature sterilization systems have been enhanced as they include shorter cycles, improved materials compatibility, expanded instrument capability, environmental friendliness, and reduced costs, and as a result, more new technologies are moving towards commercialization.
The sterilization technology market is driven mainly by the increased rate of infections, rapid growth of biotechnological and pharmaceutical companies, increased medical procedure, and advancement of technology in the sterilization market. Infectious diseases, such as AIDS and innovation of medicines and initiatives taken by governments are also considered as primary drivers of the sterilization technologies market.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report, millions of people globally are affected by Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) every year. This factor leads to a high mortality rate and substantial financial losses for the healthcare systems. According to WHO, healthcare infection differs by around 5.7% in low income and 19% in medium-income countries. The rise in HAIs is one of the drivers of the sterilization technology market. Gradual improvements to enhance technology to produce better medical devices and investments in R&D activities by leading market players are predicted to offer an excellent opportunity for the market growth.
