Medical Sterilization Trolley Global Market Report 2025

The medical sterilization trolley market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.99 billion in 2024 to $2.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for infection control, an increase in healthcare-associated infections, a heightened focus on patient safety, the growing adoption of advanced sterilization technologies, and the implementation of stricter regulations regarding sterilization standards.

The medical sterilization trolley market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, increasing awareness of proper sterilization practices, a rise in the number of surgical procedures, a growing elderly population, and continued advancements in sterilization technologies. Key trends expected during this period include progress in automation technology, enhanced infection control features, the development of mobile sterilization trolleys, innovations in user-friendly designs, and advancements in eco-friendly sterilization solutions.

The growing emphasis on infection control is anticipated to drive the growth of the medical sterilization trolley market. Infection control refers to the strategies and procedures implemented to prevent the spread of infectious diseases within healthcare environments, ensuring the safety of both patients and healthcare workers. The increased attention to infection control is largely due to the rising incidence of healthcare-associated infections, which require stringent measures to protect individuals. Medical sterilization trolleys play a key role in preventing contamination by securely storing and transporting sterilized instruments in a clean, controlled environment. Their durable, easy-to-maintain design, often featuring antimicrobial properties, supports effective infection control within healthcare settings. For example, in November 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that surgical site infections (SSIs) associated with surgical care improvement project (SCIP) procedures increased from 2% in 2022 to 4% in 2023. This rising concern over infection control is propelling the growth of the medical sterilization trolley market.

Major players in the medical sterilization trolley market are focusing on developing innovative products such as mobile ultraviolet (UV)-C disinfection systems. These portable units, equipped with ultraviolet light technology, disinfect air and surfaces without the need for chemicals or manual cleaning, making them ideal for clinical environments. For instance, in March 2023, Biobase, a China-based medical and laboratory equipment manufacturer, introduced the ZY-II-ZW65D17W trolley. This model offers 360° UV-C coverage, remote operation, and programmable disinfection timing, providing safe and efficient sterilization for both surfaces and air. It contributes to infection prevention in healthcare and public settings by enabling flexible, contact-free sterilization in high-risk areas.

In April 2024, Healthpoint Capital LLC, a US-based private equity firm focusing on musculoskeletal healthcare, acquired SteriCUBE Holdings Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition brought SteriCUBE’s innovative multiple tray sterilization (MTS) system into Healthpoint Capital’s portfolio, strengthening its position in the medical sterilization market. SteriCUBE Holdings Inc. is a US-based company specializing in medical sterilization solutions, particularly through its cutting-edge multiple-tray sterilization (MTS) systems.

A medical sterilization trolley is a mobile unit designed for the safe transport of sterilized medical instruments within healthcare environments, such as between central sterilization departments and operating rooms. Its main function is to keep sterile items readily accessible while preserving their sterility and preventing contamination until use. These trolleys play a crucial role in infection control by providing ergonomic, mobile storage that ensures the hygienic handling of sterilized equipment and enhances operational efficiency.

The primary types of medical sterilization trolleys include open trolleys and closed trolleys. Open sterilization carts provide cost-effective, easily accessible storage for sterilized instruments, making them ideal for high-demand settings such as operating rooms and emergency departments. These trolleys are constructed from materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and others, and are used by a range of end-users including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, clinics, and more.
