The global sterilization equipment and disinfectants market is growing significantly due to technological advancement such as
innovation of E-beam and gamma beam in the industry. Sterilization equipment
and disinfectants are elemental procedures used to eliminate or control various
infectious agents, such as virus and bacteria. The increasing use of these in
hospitals, clinics, and laboratories, to reduce the hospital acquired
infection, support the growth of the sterilization equipment and disinfectants
market.
On the basis of products, the sterilization
equipment market can be categorized as heat sterilizers, low temperature
sterilizers, radiation sterilization and filtration sterilization. The heat
sterilization equipment leads the sterilization equipment and disinfectants
market due to its user friendly and secure nature; whereas, the low temperature
sterilizers are expected to grow at the fastest rate in the coming years due to
its complex and advanced sterilizing efficiency for medical devices, such as
endoscopes. Heat sterilization is further categorized as autoclave, hot air
oven, and others. Low temperature sterilizers include ethylene oxide
sterilization, hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, and vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
Whereas, the radiation sterilization includes gamma sterilization, electron
beams sterilization, and others.
Some of the factors driving the growth of
sterilization equipment and disinfectants market are rise in geriatric
population, rise in number of surgeries in hospitals and clinics, and increasing
number of hospital acquired infection. In addition, increasing healthcare
expenditure and increasing prevalence of diseases, such as cancer and
tuberculosis, are also expected to fuel the growth of the global sterilization
equipment and disinfectants market.
Geographically, North America will be leading
the global sterilization equipment and disinfectants market in the coming years
due to rise in aging population, and increasing demand of non-disposable
surgical instruments, such as endoscopy devices and forceps. Moreover,
Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing region in the global sterilization
equipment and disinfectants market. The major reasons for the fastest growth in
the region are increasing healthcare expenditure, increasing prevalence of
infectious diseases, and large pool of patients in the region. Moreover, the
sterilization equipment and disinfectants market is growing due to increasing
awareness of healthcare in the emerging countries, such as India and China, of
Asia-Pacific region.
Some of the companies operating in the
sterilization equipment and disinfectants market are 3M, Cantel Medical
Corporation, Belimed AG, TSO3 Inc., Getinge Group, CISA Group, Advanced
Sterilization Products Services Inc., Synergy Health Plc, STERIS Corporation,
Kimberley-Clark Corporation, Nordion Inc., and Sakura SI Co.Ltd.
