Low Temperature Plasma Sterilizer Market Report 2025

The low temperature plasma sterilizer market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.34 billion in 2024 to $1.49 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for heat-sensitive medical instruments, an increase in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), growing awareness of infection control protocols, a global rise in surgical procedures, and the increasing adoption of minimally invasive instruments.

The low temperature plasma sterilizer market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.24 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in hospital infrastructure, heightened regulatory focus on patient safety and equipment sterility, a rising preference for eco-friendly and residue-free sterilization methods, expansion of outpatient surgical centers, and greater adoption of plasma-based sterilization equipment. Key trends expected during the forecast period include a shift toward low-temperature sterilization, innovations in plasma sterilizer design, the integration of digital monitoring and automation, and an emphasis on sustainability, with manufacturers developing plasma sterilizers in alignment with regulatory standards.

The rise in healthcare-associated infections is anticipated to drive the growth of the low-temperature plasma sterilizer market in the coming years. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections that patients contract while undergoing treatment for other conditions within healthcare settings. The increase in HAIs is largely attributed to the growing use of invasive medical procedures and devices, which elevate the risk of pathogen transmission in clinical environments. Low-temperature plasma sterilizers help mitigate healthcare-associated infections by efficiently sterilizing heat-sensitive medical instruments without leaving toxic residues, allowing for the safe reuse of equipment and improving overall infection control. For example, in July 2025, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), a government body in the UK, reported that the incidence rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia was 1.8 cases per 100,000 population between January and March 2025, up from 1.7 cases per 100,000 population during the same period in 2024. Consequently, the rising prevalence of healthcare-associated infections is fueling the expansion of the low-temperature plasma sterilizer market.

Leading companies in the low-temperature plasma sterilizer market are concentrating on developing technologically advanced solutions, such as fully automated medical-grade sterilization devices, to enhance efficiency, reduce manual labor, and guarantee safe sterilization of heat-sensitive medical instruments. A fully automated medical-grade sterilization device is designed to disinfect medical tools to high clinical standards using advanced technologies such as plasma or hydrogen peroxide, without the need for manual intervention. For instance, in April 2025, Zhejiang Sada Medical Technology Co. Ltd., a medical equipment company based in China, introduced the SD-D 100L Low-Temperature Hydrogen Peroxide Plasma Sterilizer. This fully automatic, medical-grade sterilizer operates at a low temperature of 50°C ± 5°C, making it suitable for heat-sensitive instruments like endoscopes and precision surgical tools. The SD-D 100L provides rapid sterilization cycles of 40-60 minutes, features integrated HEPA filtration, and includes advanced safety mechanisms such as overpressure and overheating protection, ensuring regulatory compliance and optimized workflow efficiency.

In August 2024, Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP), a US-based medical technology company, collaborated with PENTAX Medical Company to advance infection prevention solutions by integrating ASP’s sterilization technologies. This partnership focuses on providing comprehensive endoscope reprocessing solutions, enhancing workflow efficiency, and maintaining high standards of patient safety by minimizing the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). PENTAX Medical Company, based in Japan, manufactures endoscopic imaging devices.

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 fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

A low-temperature plasma sterilizer is a medical device that employs hydrogen peroxide vapor combined with low-temperature plasma (ionized gas) to sterilize instruments sensitive to heat and moisture. Operating at temperatures typically below 60°C, it effectively eliminates microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and spores. It provides rapid, residue-free sterilization for delicate medical devices that cannot endure high heat or steam.

The main types of low-temperature plasma sterilizers include tabletop sterilizers, large automated sterilizers, portable sterilizers, and accessories and consumables. Tabletop sterilizers are compact, self-contained units designed to fit on a counter or table, commonly used in clinics, dental offices, and small medical facilities for instrument sterilization. These sterilizers utilize technologies such as cold plasma, atmospheric pressure plasma, low-temperature hydrogen peroxide plasma, and radiofrequency plasma, and are compatible with a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, glass, textiles, and porous instruments. Low-temperature plasma sterilizers are applied in surgical instrument sterilization, hospital environment sterilization, pharmaceutical packaging sterilization, and dental product sterilization, serving end users such as healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical companies, research laboratories, and homecare settings.
