[Research Report] The sterilization technologies market is projected to grow from US$ 5,167.00 million in 2022 to US$ 9,109.08million by 2030; the market is estimated to record a CAGR of 7.3% during 2022–2030.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

The report includes growth prospects owing to the current sterilization technologies market trends and their foreseeable impact during the forecast period. The sterilization technologies market forecast can help stakeholders in this marketplace plan their growth strategies. Factors such as the increasing prevalence of healthcare-associated infections and the rising number of surgical procedures propel the market growth. However, shutdown of medical device sterilization facilities impedes the growth of the market. Further, continuous developments in sterilization technologies are expected to bring new trends in the market in the coming years.

Growth Drivers:

Increasing Prevalence of Healthcare-Associated Infections Drives Sterilization Technologies Market Growth

The prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is on the rise due to insufficient equipment, inadequate hygiene environment conditions, poor infrastructure, limited sterilization guidelines, and lacking knowledge of infection control measures. According to the 2021 National and State HAIs Progress Report on standardized infection ratios released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), acute care hospitals reported a 12% increase in ventilator-associated events, 14% surge in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, 7% rise in central line-associated bloodstream infections, 11% jump in surgical site infection (SSI) cases, and 5% hike in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs). According to a cohort study “Clinical and economic burden of healthcare-associated infections,” published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2023, developing countries have an overall prevalence of HAIs of up to 15.5%. Furthermore, the prevalence has been reported to be as high as 34.1% among critically ill patients.

SSIs, Hepatitis B and C, urinary and vascular catheter-associated infections, HIV infections, and ventilator-associated infections are among the most prevalent HAIs caused by inadequate sterilization techniques. These infections result in more patient suffering, longer hospital stays, and higher treatment costs. According to MDPI, HAIs cost approximately US$ 10–33 billion annually to the US economy, while they cost more than US$ 8.2 billion (€7 billion) in Europe. According to the WHO, 10% and 7% of hospitalized patients in developing and developed countries, respectively, are expected to acquire at least one HAI. Further, ICU-acquired infection is ~2–3 folds higher in low- and middle-income countries in comparison to high-income countries. In high-income countries, ICU-acquired infections affect ~30% of patients with at least one HAI. Similarly, newborns are 20 times more prone to acquiring these infections in developing nations than in developed nations. Insufficient or inappropriate sterilization of surgical instruments and reusable objects increases the risk of contracting HAIs. Thus, the increasing prevalence of HAIs propels the sterilization technologies market growth.

Regional Analysis:

The geographic scope of the global sterilization technologies market report is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2022, North America accounted for the largest market share. A rise in HAI cases due to contaminated instruments and lack of preventive measures is the major factor that fuels the demand for sterilization technologies across healthcare facilities in the US. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2022, approximately 1 in 31 American patients and 1 in 43 nursing home residents contracted at least one HAI each day. As per the CDC, more than ~1.7 million infections and ~99,000 associated deaths each year are due to HAIs. These estimates indicate the need for improvements in patient care practices in healthcare facilities in the US.

The demand for sterilization products is growing significantly across the US. In response to awareness about sterilization, various market leaders are launching their products. In April 2020, Advanced Sterilization Products (US) received FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for its STERRAD sterilizers. The product enables healthcare providers to decontaminate N95 Respirators using STERRAD Sterilization Cycles in hospital settings.
