Latest News- Sterilization Market: Chemical sterilization is expected to lead the Type segment during 2025-2029

The Sterilization Market is being driven by Prevalence of hospital-acquired infections

The Sterilization Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 4849.7 million. The global sterilization market is undergoing a transformative shift towards low-temperature sterilization (LTS) solutions, with healthcare facilities increasingly favoring these methods to process heat- and moisture-sensitive medical instruments. Traditional high-temperature sterilization techniques, such as autoclaving, are no longer sufficient for advanced surgical tools, including endoscopes, robotic-assisted surgical instruments, and delicate electronic medical devices. In response, the market is witnessing a rapid adoption of LTS alternatives, including vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2), ethylene oxide (EtO), and ozone sterilization. Notably, Getinge recently introduced the Poladus 150, an innovative VH2O2 low-temperature sterilizer, on June 3, 2024. This advanced sterilizer is specifically designed to efficiently reprocess non-lumen, flexible lumen, and rigid lumen instruments, catering to the growing demand for sterilization in sophisticated endoscopic and robotic procedures.

    Research Analysis Overview

    The Sterilization Market encompasses healthcare facilities' need for effective sterilization of single-use instruments and medical devices to prevent nosocomial infections, including surgical-site infections and hospital-acquired pneumonia. Manufacturing companies provide various sterilization methods, such as electron-beam irradiation and reprocessing, to ensure medical devices' complex characteristics are maintained. However, inadequate sterilization can lead to infections, such as clostridium difficile, and reprocessing errors. Hospital administrators outsource sterilization to third-party vendors, utilizing advanced medical technologies like vaporized hydrogen peroxide and autoclave sterilization, while ensuring eco-friendly sterilization consumables and accessories. Sterilization is crucial for therapeutic procedures, including cancer treatment, autoimmune diseases, and cosmetic surgeries like brow lifts and liposuction, in intensive care units. Sterilization methods, such as ethylene oxide and peracetic acid, are essential to prevent antibiotic-resistant infections and chronic diseases.

    Market Research Overview

    The global healthcare supplies market encompasses businesses involved in the research and development (R&D) of medical devices, primarily focusing on medical consumables utilized in diagnostic procedures and disease treatment. This market's size is determined by Technavio based on the consolidated revenue generated by manufacturers of products such as syringes, drapes, gloves, and gowns. Key growth drivers include the increasing elderly population – with nearly one-quarter of the US population projected to be over 60 years old by 2050, and Europe reaching a similar demographic milestone by 2030 – leading to a surge in demand for medical supplies. Furthermore, the importance of medical device safety, sterilization efficacy, and adherence to reprocessing best practices to mitigate healthcare-associated infections necessitates continuous advancements and innovation in the sector. Consequently, sterilization training, audit, validation, and third-party sterilization services have emerged as crucial components of the healthcare supplies market.. Industries are leveraging the products belonging to the market for customer engagement, transactional notifications, and promotional offers.
