The global market for Endoscope Drying Cabinets was valued at US$242.6 Million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$380.7 Million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2024 to 2030. This comprehensive report provides an in-depth analysis of market trends, drivers, and forecasts, helping you make informed business decisions. The report includes the most recent global tariff developments and how they impact the Endoscope Drying Cabinets market.
As hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) draw increasing scrutiny, regulatory bodies such as the U.S. CDC, ECRI, and European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy are recommending or mandating the use of automated drying and storage systems. Technological advancements now include data logging, RFID scope tracking, touchless loading systems, and integration with automated endoscope reprocessors (AERs) for end-to-end workflow optimization. Leading manufacturers like Steelco, Wassenburg Medical, Olympus, and Getinge are expanding their portfolio to include vertical drying cabinets, scope segregation by specialty, and smart IoT-enabled models for remote monitoring and compliance verification.
Regions with stringent healthcare quality standards - such as the U.S., Germany, Japan, and South Korea - are leading adoption, while fast-developing markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are beginning to integrate drying cabinets as part of broader infection control upgrades. Additionally, post-pandemic infection control reforms are prompting healthcare systems to invest in touchless workflows and automated traceability systems, reinforcing demand for cabinets with integrated audit trails, user access controls, and scope-specific drying configurations.
On the end-use side, increasing use of flexible endoscopes in minimally invasive procedures is accelerating demand for reprocessing infrastructure. Hospitals are expanding central sterile services departments (CSSDs) to include advanced drying and storage capabilities that reduce infection risks while optimizing reprocessing throughput. Additionally, healthcare facility investments in infection-resistant design and workflow automation are incorporating drying cabinets as core infrastructure in new endoscopy units. These drivers are cementing endoscope drying cabinets as a mandatory component in modern sterile reprocessing workflows.

Global Endoscope Drying Cabinets Market - Key Trends & Drivers Summarized
Why Are Endoscope Drying Cabinets Becoming Essential in Infection Control Protocols?
Endoscope drying cabinets are critical to the safe storage and reprocessing of flexible endoscopes after high-level disinfection (HLD), ensuring they remain dry, contamination-free, and ready for use in clinical procedures. Inadequate drying has been linked to microbial growth, biofilm formation, and cross-contamination risks, particularly in gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urological procedures. Drying cabinets eliminate residual moisture in lumens and external surfaces by circulating filtered, temperature-controlled air, often combined with HEPA filtration and individual channel airflow technology.As hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) draw increasing scrutiny, regulatory bodies such as the U.S. CDC, ECRI, and European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy are recommending or mandating the use of automated drying and storage systems. Technological advancements now include data logging, RFID scope tracking, touchless loading systems, and integration with automated endoscope reprocessors (AERs) for end-to-end workflow optimization. Leading manufacturers like Steelco, Wassenburg Medical, Olympus, and Getinge are expanding their portfolio to include vertical drying cabinets, scope segregation by specialty, and smart IoT-enabled models for remote monitoring and compliance verification.
Which Healthcare Settings and Regulations Are Driving Cabinet Adoption?
Hospitals, outpatient endoscopy centers, and specialty surgical clinics are the primary users of endoscope drying cabinets. The surge in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures - particularly in gastroenterology, ENT, and bronchoscopy - is increasing the volume of scopes needing reprocessing, necessitating efficient drying and storage solutions. Accreditation agencies and infection control committees are enforcing stricter guidelines around reprocessing protocols, requiring documented proof of drying cycles, scope segregation by infection risk level, and adherence to storage duration limits (e.g., 72 or 168 hours depending on jurisdiction).Regions with stringent healthcare quality standards - such as the U.S., Germany, Japan, and South Korea - are leading adoption, while fast-developing markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are beginning to integrate drying cabinets as part of broader infection control upgrades. Additionally, post-pandemic infection control reforms are prompting healthcare systems to invest in touchless workflows and automated traceability systems, reinforcing demand for cabinets with integrated audit trails, user access controls, and scope-specific drying configurations.
The Growth in the Endoscope Drying Cabinets Market Is Driven by Several Factors…
The growth in the endoscope drying cabinets market is driven by rising procedural volumes, stricter infection control regulations, and technological innovations that reduce contamination risk and improve operational efficiency. Advancements in channel-specific airflow, HEPA-based drying, and real-time humidity monitoring are ensuring consistent drying results across varying scope types and models. Digital connectivity features - such as RFID-enabled inventory control, automated scope ID tracking, and cloud-based documentation - are addressing traceability mandates and aiding accreditation readiness.On the end-use side, increasing use of flexible endoscopes in minimally invasive procedures is accelerating demand for reprocessing infrastructure. Hospitals are expanding central sterile services departments (CSSDs) to include advanced drying and storage capabilities that reduce infection risks while optimizing reprocessing throughput. Additionally, healthcare facility investments in infection-resistant design and workflow automation are incorporating drying cabinets as core infrastructure in new endoscopy units. These drivers are cementing endoscope drying cabinets as a mandatory component in modern sterile reprocessing workflows.
