U.S. Automated Medical Washer Disinfector Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product Type (Floor Standing, Benchtop), By Capacity, By Chamber Type, By Device Classification, By End Use, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2033

Market Size & Trends

The U.S. automated medical washer disinfector market size was estimated at USD 351.11 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.96% from 2025 to 2033. The market growth is attributed to the potent combination of high surgical volumes, stringent infection control regulations, and advancements in healthcare infrastructure. With the continued growth of ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), there is a rising need for efficient, high-throughput instrument reprocessing systems. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA, CDC, and OSHA mandate compliance with strict decontamination protocols, pushing healthcare facilities to adopt validated, automated washer-disinfectors that ensure consistent cleaning, thermal disinfection, and traceability. Additionally, the U.S. healthcare system’s growing focus on patient safety, sustainability, and digital integration has spurred demand for smart washer disinfectors that reduce manual labor, conserve water and energy, and support real-time cycle monitoring, making them essential in modern sterile processing environments.

The rapid expansion of ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) in the U.S. has emerged as a major driver of the automated medical washer-disinfector market, as more surgical procedures shift from inpatient to outpatient settings. ASCs increasingly perform same-day, minimally invasive surgeries, creating a critical need for compact, efficient, and high-performing washer disinfectors that can handle frequent instrument turnover within limited space. These facilities prioritize equipment that offers fast cycle times, reduced water and detergent usage, and ease of use, making benchtop and medium-capacity systems particularly attractive. Additionally, ASCs are held to the same infection control standards as hospitals, necessitating validated cleaning protocols and traceable disinfection processes, further fueling demand for automated solutions. As the ASC model becomes more prominent due to its cost-effectiveness and patient convenience, it significantly boosts the need for scalable, regulation-compliant washer disinfectors across the U.S. market.

The consistently high volume of surgical procedures in the U.S. is a major driver for the growth of the automated medical washer disinfector market, as hospitals and surgical centers require efficient, reliable systems to manage the rapid reprocessing of instruments. According to the American College of Rheumatology in 2024, over 1.3 million hip and knee replacement surgeries were performed annually in the U.S., in addition to hundreds of thousands of other elective and emergency surgeries. This immense procedural load places significant pressure on Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSDs) to maintain instrument availability while ensuring strict infection control compliance.

Automated washer disinfectors are essential in this environment as they offer standardized cleaning, thermal disinfection, and fast turnaround times, helping facilities maintain surgical schedules without compromising patient safety. Their ability to process large instrument sets with minimal human error also aligns with regulatory expectations and supports efficiency in high-throughput settings.
