Hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization is a low-temperature method that uses vaporized hydrogen peroxide to remove microorganisms from equipment and surfaces. It provides fast and highly effective sterilization by generating reactive oxygen species that destroy microbial cells. This technique ensures residue-free decontamination and promotes environmentally safe sterilization processes. Hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization serves as an efficient and non-toxic alternative to conventional sterilization methods.
The primary product types of hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization systems include standalone sterilizers, portable sterilizers, and integrated sterilization systems. Standalone sterilizers operate independently, performing hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization without requiring additional equipment, and provide precise, controlled sterilization cycles. These systems are distributed via direct sales, distributors, and online channels, and are utilized by healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, and other end-users.
Tariffs are impacting the hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization market by increasing the cost of vapor generators, membranes, and control systems. Standalone and portable sterilizers are most impacted, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Positive effects include encouraging local production, promoting innovation in compact sterilization systems, and development of automated smart sterilization technologies.

This hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization 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 hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.52 billion in 2025 to $1.65 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for sterilization in healthcare, adoption of low-temperature sterilization, development of portable sterilizers, increased use in research institutes, need for residue-free sterilization.
The hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.3 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with robotic-assisted sterilization, expansion in pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, growth in automated sterilization systems, adoption in emerging markets, development of networked sterilization monitoring. Major trends in the forecast period include low-temperature sterilization techniques, automated sterilization modules, mobile portable sterilizers, residue-free decontamination, integration with smart networked systems.
The rising volume of surgical procedures is expected to drive the growth of the hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization market in the coming years. Surgical procedures involve medical interventions using instruments to diagnose, treat, or repair conditions or injuries through operative techniques. The increase in surgical procedures is largely due to expanding healthcare access among aging populations, as older individuals require more interventions for chronic and age-related health issues. Hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization supports surgical care by offering a rapid, low-temperature, and residue-free method for sterilizing medical instruments and equipment, ensuring a sterile operating environment, minimizing infection risk, preserving instrument integrity, and enhancing overall patient safety and surgical efficiency. For example, in May 2025, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, hospitalizations involving surgery increased by 3.8%, rising from 3.0 million in 2022-23 to 3.1 million in 2023-24. Consequently, the growing number of surgical procedures is fueling the hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization market.
Leading companies in the hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization market are developing advanced low-temperature systems to improve material compatibility and dimensional stability of medical devices. Low-temperature sterilization uses vaporized hydrogen peroxide to generate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals that destroy microbial cells while preserving delicate device structures. For instance, in August 2023, Steris plc, an Ireland-based medical device company, received FDA clearance for its V-PRO low-temperature sterilizers to process hospital-manufactured 3D-printed surgical guides and anatomical models. The system is validated for over 43 materials, including Formlabs' BioMed Amber and BioMed Clear Resins, and features specialized cycles, quick manual cleaning, and immediate usability of devices post-sterilization. This enables hospital sterile processing departments to safely sterilize patient-specific surgical guides and anatomical models while maintaining their mechanical properties and precision.
In November 2024, Vance Street Capital, a US-based private equity firm, partnered with Prince Sterilization Services LLC to support the company's expansion in the pharmaceutical and medical device sterilization markets. The partnership aims to enhance Prince's capabilities and offerings, allowing the company to continue delivering innovative and reliable hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization solutions. Prince Sterilization Services LLC is a US-based contract sterilization provider specializing in VH2O2 sterilization.
