Sterilization Monitoring Market Summary
The global sterilization monitoring market size was estimated at USD 962.8 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,843.2 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.57% from 2025 to 2033. The market is experiencing significant growth driven by various factors. Increasing cases of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) worldwide and a growing number of inpatient surgeries are a primary catalyst.
Increasing prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is projected to significantly contribute to the growth of the sterilization monitoring market. Hospitals and clinics are under continuous pressure to improve sterilization standards to prevent infections caused by inadequately sterilized equipment. For instance, according to data released by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, a European Union Agency, in May 2024, approximately 4.3 million hospitalized patients across the EU and European Economic Area (EEA) are affected by HAIs annually. These infections pose serious health risks and also place a significant strain on healthcare systems.
Another significant factor is the stringent regulatory environment. Governments and health authorities worldwide mandate strict sterilization standards, compelling healthcare institutions to adopt effective monitoring systems. For instance, in November 2024, the FDA issued a guidance "Transitional Enforcement Policy for Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Facility Changes for Class III Devices".This guidance outlines a policy of transitional enforcement discretion for manufacturers of specific Class III devices. It aims to address expected changes in ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization processes and to help prevent or reduce the risk of medical device supply chain disruptions or shortages during the period when sterilization facilities are transitioning to meet new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations.
Another major factor driving the sterilization monitoring industry growth is growing surgical procedures in hospitals. For instance, according to the Eurostat report, the two most common surgical operations and procedures performed in EU hospitals are cataract surgery and caesarean sections.
