Analyst Viewpoint
Rise in prevalence of Healthcare-associated Infections (HAIs) and implementation of stringent regulatory standards for sterilization processes are fueling the sterilization equipment market statistics.
Increase in number of surgeries performed at hospitals and clinics is anticipated to drive the demand for sterilization equipment during the forecast period.
Modern medical sterilization devices incorporate advanced monitoring and control systems to ensure precise regulation of critical parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity, and exposure time.
Vendors in the global industry are offering products with better ergonomics to help prevent occupational injuries associated with repetitive motion and lifting. They are also promoting automation in various sterilization processes.
Sterilization is an important procedure for infection control in healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. High-level sterilization eliminates pathogenic organisms. There are various types of sterilization procedures such as steam sterilization, Ethylene Oxide (ETO) sterilization, hydrogen peroxide sterilization, and dry heat sterilization.
Steam sterilization (autoclaving) is done by saturated steam under pressure. It is cheap and nontoxic. Steam sterilization is the method of choice for all items except those that are moisture or heat-sensitive.
Dry heat sterilization is used for materials that cannot be steam sterilized due to damage from steam, lack of penetration, or instruments that cannot be disassembled. ETO is employed almost exclusively to sterilize medical products that cannot be steam sterilized.

Increase in cases of HAIs has compelled medical professionals to take stringent regulatory actions to cure these infections with the usage of various sterilization equipment.
More than 3.5 million cases of HAI are estimated to occur in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) each year, leading to more than 90 thousand deaths and corresponding to approximately 2.5 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
Surge in number of surgeries, including minimally invasive surgeries, orthopedic surgeries, and cosmetic procedures, is projected to spur the sterilization equipment market growth in the near future. Surgical instruments that penetrate soft tissue or bone (scalpel blades, bone chisels, surgical burs, extraction forceps, and periodontal scalers) need to be sterilized after each use.
Advanced steam sterilization equipment for medical facilities incorporates cutting-edge technology to ensure the safe use of non-invasive and invasive medical devices.
Sterilization equipment are witnessing an increase in demand to maintain the sterility of hospitals and various other healthcare organizations. However, shifting trends toward utilization of disposable medical devices and excise duty imposed on medical device manufacturers are major factors restraining the global sterilization equipment market value.
Regulatory requirements for medical devices include particular requirements for devices supplied or intended to be used in a sterile state. The European Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) includes general safety and performance requirements (GSPRs) in Annex I related to infection and microbial contamination. These GPSRs include requirements related to sterility.
In July 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognized several consensus standards on sterilization methods to advance innovation in sterilization processes, support manufacturers' use of low-temperature vaporized hydrogen peroxide, and streamline the premarket review process.
According to the latest sterilization equipment market trends, the heat sterilization/high-temperature sterilization method segment held largest share in 2022. Heat sterilization is primarily utilized for the sterilization of moisture-sensitive and thermo-stable products (e.g. oil, fat waxes, and paraffin silicones). Heat sterilization equipment are easy to handle and inexpensive.
According to the latest sterilization equipment market analysis, the autoclave sub-segment is witnessing rapid expansion as autoclaves are reliable and require low capital investment for installation in medical institutes such as hospitals and laboratories.
According to the latest sterilization equipment market research, the hospitals and diagnostic centers end-user segment accounted for largest share in 2022. Hospitals are witnessing robust expansion, propelled by joint ventures, acquisitions, and the provision of one-stop-shop services under one roof for various medical needs.
Global demand for medical devices that are utilized in hospitals is rising rapidly due to the increase in number of surgeries performed worldwide. Moreover, rise in geriatric population is contributing to the sterilization equipment market demand in hospitals and diagnostic centers.

Leading Region | North America |
North America accounted for major share in 2022. High prevalence of infectious diseases is fueling the market dynamics of the region. According to the CDC, in 2021, 3.8 million emergency department visits were recorded in the U.S. with infectious and parasitic diseases as the primary diagnosis.
Advancements in sterilization technologies are boosting the sterilization equipment market share in North America. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently proposed strategies to reduce emissions and exposure to ETO gas.
ETO is associated with many health hazards. Implementing these strategies may ensure a safer community and environment for workers to maintain a steady supply chain for sterilized medical equipment.
Major sterilization equipment manufacturers are offering automated high-level disinfection systems in a compact size designed for fast, easy operation. They are developing devices that provide reliable disinfection, resulting in efficiency and improved productivity, freeing up time for better patient care.
3M, Advanced Sterilization Products Services, Inc., Belimed AG, Cantel Medical Corp., Getinge, Sakura Si Co., Ltd., STERIS Corporation, Sterigenics U.S., LLC, Matachana Group, and Stryker are key players operating in this market.
