Sterilization Technologies: The U.S. Market

Sterilization Technologies: The U.S. Market published by BCC Research in November, 2009. This report consists of 169 pages and the price starts from US $ 4850.

Introduction

Abstract

• Details the North American sales of capital equipment to the sterilization industry in 2008, and forecasts the market' s compound annual growth rate for 2009-2014.
• Explains how the trends of value-added manufacturing and shorter hospital stays combined are holding capital equipment costs down and are leading to the use of more disposable than reusable items, and how this trend spells success for filtration sterilization.
• Discusses how heat sterilization technologies are the tried-and-true methods and forecasts that purchases will rise markedly over the next five years.

SCOPE OF REPORT

This technical market report organizes information from diverse sources into a cohesive unit that includes overview, industry structure, and technology sections.

The overview examines sterilization in general, the types of technology, and regulatory influences. The industry structure section discusses the most active suppliers, with regard to relative market share, marketing strengths, and forces that promote or hamper growth of technologies. The technology sections detail historical, current, and projected (2010 through 2014) market values for testing systems for filter, heat, chemical, radiation, and emerging sterilization technologies.

METHODOLOGIES AND INFORMATION SOURCES

The data for this report was gathered from primary and secondary sources. Sources include information obtained from industry analysts, trade journals, industry associations, the U.S, Patent and Trademark Organization, company reports and press releases, product literature, and government documents. Where precise information was not available, a consensus was made using reasonable assumptions and estimates based on historical data.

Initial market values have been calculated from those cited in the previous version of this report, with adjustments made according to industry growth and the reasoned opinions of industry experts. Where possible, evaluations of the financial reports of the major U.S. sterilization equipment manufacturers for a 5-year period were made. The market values are for capital equipment sales only and those for contract services are discussed within the body of the report.

An important change in market revenue calculations should be noted. Because of the economic turbulence of 2008-2009, most segments of the industry experienced, and in some cases, continue to experience negative growth. To provide the most accurate projections possible, the calculation formula for this report has been changed. Instead of the traditional 5-year calculations, the CAGR has been calculated on a 4-year basis with the CAGR representing 2010-2014.
