Surgical Fluid Waste Management System Market Report 2025

The surgical fluid waste management system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.28 billion in 2024 to $1.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increase in surgical procedures, heightened awareness of hospital hygiene and infection control protocols, stricter regulatory requirements, expansion of hospital infrastructure and surgical centers, and growing environmental concerns.

The surgical fluid waste management system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth projected for the forecast period is driven by an increase in surgical procedures, heightened focus on infection control, growing concerns about hospital-acquired infections, rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries, increased healthcare spending, and greater awareness of surgical hygiene. Key trends during this time include automation and smart fluid monitoring, integration with hospital IT systems, wireless connectivity and data logging, use of disposable closed-loop systems, and advancements in suction and filtration technologies.

The increasing number of surgical procedures is expected to drive the growth of the surgical fluid waste management system market in the future. Surgical procedures involve manual or instrumental techniques used to treat diseases, injuries, or deformities. This rise is largely attributed to the aging population, as older individuals are more susceptible to chronic illnesses and conditions that often necessitate surgery. Surgical fluid waste management systems support these procedures by ensuring the safe and efficient collection of fluids, maintaining a sterile operating room environment. They help minimize manual handling of biohazardous waste, reducing infection risks and improving surgical workflow efficiency. For example, in March 2023, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, a UK-based surgical organization, reported that 31,057 cosmetic surgeries were performed in 2022, representing a 102% increase compared to 2021. Hence, the growth in surgical procedures is fueling the expansion of the surgical fluid waste management system market.

Key companies in the surgical fluid waste management system market are concentrating on developing innovative products such as suction canisters to enhance safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in operating rooms. Suction canisters are medical containers used to collect and store bodily fluids like blood or irrigation fluids during surgical or medical procedures. Connected to suction systems, they play a vital role in keeping the operating environment clean and safe by efficiently managing fluid waste. For instance, in April 2024, Typenex Medical LLC, a US-based medical device company, introduced fluid fighter suction canisters and liners as part of its expanded fluid waste management portfolio. This comprehensive solution includes reusable suction canisters, disposable liners, trolleys, wall mounts, solidifiers, and various accessories, all compatible with leading brands and designed for easy integration into existing workflows. These products offer enhanced durability and advanced hydrophobic filtration, ensuring reliable and safe containment of fluid waste in demanding clinical settings.

In March 2025, DeRoyal Industries Inc., a US-based medical device manufacturer, acquired the wall suction waste fluid management product line and associated assets from Skyline Medical Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows DeRoyal to broaden its surgical product portfolio, strengthen its presence in operating room waste management, and offer more integrated and automated fluid disposal solutions. Skyline Medical Inc. is a US-based company specializing in automated surgical fluid waste management systems.

The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.
