Global Sterilization Equipment Market Size Likely to Expand at a CAGR of 9.3% By 2033

Global Sterilization Equipment Market size was valued at USD 8.5 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 18.6 Billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period 2024 – 2033.

Sterilization Equipment Market: Overview

Sterilization equipment is a collection of appliances and systems used to remove or destroy microorganisms such as viruses, fungi, bacteria, and spores from surfaces, tools, equipment, and other things. Sterilization equipment includes autoclaves, UV sterilizers, ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilizers, peroxide vapour (HPV) systems, and filtering units.

One notable global trend in the sterilization equipment industry is the growing demand for a low temperature sterilization solution. This trend originates from the necessity to sterilize heat-sensitive medical instruments, such as endoscopic instruments and electronics, while maintaining their integrity and performance.

Low-temperature sterilization technologies, such as hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, ethylene dioxide, and vaporized hydrogen peroxide, effectively reduce microbial contamination while minimizing the danger of harm to delicate equipment.

Furthermore, there is an increasing emphasis on sustainable sterilization techniques that minimize the environmental effects and occupational health concerns associated with previous procedures. In addition, advances in sterilization tracking and validation technology are gaining popularity to assure the efficiency and compliance of sterilization procedures.

By product, the low-temperature sterilizers segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period 2024-2033. Low-temperature sterilizers are preferred because of their capacity to properly sterilize heat-sensitive medical devices, which expands sterilization abilities while satisfying demanding regulatory standards in a variety of healthcare settings.

By service, the ethylene oxide sterilization segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period 2024-2033. Ethylene oxide sterilization dominates the sterilization equipment market owing to its efficacy in sterilizing heat-sensitive medical equipment and materials, resulting in an essential approach in healthcare institutions and enterprises throughout the world.

By end user, the hospitals and clinics segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period 2024-2033. Hospitals and clinics dominate the sterilization equipment sector mainly due to the vital necessity of providing sterile environments to safeguard patient safety and avoid healthcare-associated illnesses.

North America dominates the sterilization equipment market mainly due to its strong healthcare system, high regulatory requirements, flourishing pharmaceutical sector, and commitment to patient safety and control of infections.

Steris plc is an Irish-based medical equipment firm that specializes in sterilization and surgical items for the United States healthcare system. STERIS provides lighting and apparatus management systems, networking solutions including operating room integration, and medical supplies like detergents and intestinal endoscopic accessories.
