The sterilization equipment and disinfectants market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides sterilization equipment and disinfectants market statistics, including sterilization equipment and disinfectants industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a sterilization equipment and disinfectants market share, detailed sterilization equipment and disinfectants market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the sterilization equipment and disinfectants industry. This sterilization equipment and disinfectants market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The sterilization equipment and disinfectants market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.13 billion in 2023 to $10.07 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The historical period's growth can be attributed to robust economic expansion in emerging markets, an escalating demand for environmentally friendly disinfectants, a rise in healthcare expenditure, and an increased volume of surgical procedures.
The sterilization equipment and disinfectants market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.28 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to governmental backing, a rising prevalence of chronic diseases, swift expansion of the elderly population, and an increasing occurrence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) propelling market growth. Notable trends expected in this period encompass the introduction of new products, an emphasis on disinfection robots, mergers and acquisitions, expansions of new facilities, technological advancements, partnerships and collaborations, and a surge in investments.
Government regulations aimed at combating the COVID-19 situation are anticipated to foster market growth in the forecast period. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has expedited the review process for submissions from disinfectant manufacturers seeking to add claims for emerging viral pathogens to existing surface disinfectant labels. Additionally, the EPA has addressed supply chain challenges by enhancing flexibility in procuring inert and some active ingredients listed in List N - 'Disinfectants for Use against SARS-CoV-2,' even without prior agency approval. Manufacturers now have the liberty to release disinfectants after notifying the changes in formulation and manufacturing facilities, eliminating the need to wait for US EPA approval. The EPA has also established platforms to identify and safeguard consumers against fraudulent claims related to COVID-19 Disinfectants. Government initiatives in response to COVID-19 aim to enhance production, approval processes, and consumer safety, while mitigating supply chain challenges, thereby boosting revenue in the sterilization equipment and disinfectants market.
The expected growth of the sterilization equipment and disinfectants market is further propelled by the increasing number of surgical procedures. Surgical procedures involve medical interventions that include making incisions or using minimally invasive techniques to address various conditions or diseases within the human body. Sterilization equipment and disinfectants play a crucial role in surgical procedures, ensuring infection control, patient safety, regulatory compliance, cost savings, and overall improved healthcare outcomes. For instance, in June 2022, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), a US-based non-profit medical organization, reported a surge in surgical procedures, with approximately 262,893 surgeries conducted in 2021 compared to 198,651 surgeries in 2020. Consequently, the increasing number of surgical procedures is a key driver behind the growth of the sterilization equipment and disinfectants market.
The market is expected to experience a boost during the forecast period due to sustainable solutions such as the repeat sterilization of medical equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE). Given the shortage of PPE supply to hospitals treating COVID-19 patients, some companies have introduced the concept of repeat sterilization for used PPE such as gowns and masks. In October 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the acceptance of sterilization standards and technical information reports (TIRs) to promote innovation in medical device sterilization procedures. Recent initiatives by Ed include the design and validation of a new cleanroom and an epidemiological risk analysis for a reusable oral medical device. Similarly, the Battelle Memorial Institute, a non-profit research organization, aims to reuse N95 respirator masks through sterilization, provided the masks are not made of cellulose. Battelle has received $400 million in funding from the Defense Logistics Agency under US HHS to facilitate N95 decontamination across 60 sites in the USA. Given the scarcity of PPE, the decontamination or sterilization of PPE, rather than replacement, is expected to emerge as a significant growth area in the market.
Manufacturers of sterilization equipment and disinfectants are channeling investments into research and development to create eco-friendly disinfectants. Traditional disinfectants typically contain liquid chemicals derived from alcohols, aldehydes, ammonium compounds, oxidizing agents, and phenolics, which may accumulate toxic chemicals while eliminating germs. Eco-friendly products, on the other hand, are formulated without such chemical concoctions and are made using natural or chemical-free compositions. For instance, in 2022, Clorox Company, a US-based consumer and professional products manufacturer, introduced Clorox EcoClean, featuring an EPA-certified Design for the Environment (DfE) disinfectant cleaner and EPA-certified Safer Choice cleaners. These products adhere to stringent standards set by the U.S. EPA, ensuring that all ingredients have been reviewed for human health and environmental safety. This line of eco-conscious cleaners and disinfectants offers a more sustainable solution for professionals to maintain cleanliness and health in public spaces.
In December 2021, Sterimed, a France-based manufacturer of sterilized packaging solutions, acquired Westfield Medical for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is expected to enhance Sterimed's presence in the UK and various international markets. Westfield Medical, based in the UK, specializes in manufacturing single-use sterilization barrier systems.
