The global mobile sterile units market size was valued at USD 226.80 Million in 2024, driven by the emphasis on preventing contamination in medical equipment and devices across the globe. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.70% during the forecast period of 2025-2034, with the values likely to rise from to USD 394.81 Million by 2034 .
Medical device sterilization can be performed in multiple ways. Steaming (moist heat), dry heat, radiation, and passing the equipment through vaporized hydrogen peroxide, ethylene oxide gas and other gases like chlorine dioxide gas, vaporized peracetic acid, and nitrogen dioxide are some of the common methods. Ethylene gas oxide sterilization is the most prominent method that makes up around 50% of the sterilization market space in the United States. This is because it does not pose a challenge of device damage during the process. A mobile sterile unit also constitute HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters, used to filter the particulate matter before reaching the surgical table.
In addition, FDA also announced a Radiation Sterilization Master File Pilot Program. This program allows the contractors to alter or advance alternative ways to medical device sterilisation. Owing the growth of new technologies in medical equipment sterilisation, we can anticipate a positive progression in the mobile sterile units market value as well.
With the popularity of technical advancements in medical equipment, researchers have been working to develop more efficient methods that can aid in sterilising latest technologies as well. In August 2023, the FDA approved “V-PRO maX 2 Low Temperature Sterilization System”. This is the first sterilisation system for 3D printing medical devices .
With the availability of a technically equipped medical infrastructure, North America has been dominating the mobile sterile units market share since the historic period. The presence of key healthcare providers and stern policies by the government to maintain hygiene in the healthcare environment are the key drivers which are bolstering the growth of the market. However, as per the current trend in the medical industry, the market share is shifting towards the Asia Pacific territory. This can be attributed to the increasing medical infrastructure set up in the region, along with the increasing consciousness on sanitation.
