The Sterilization Services Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX % during 2019 - 2027 to reach US$ XX billion by 2027. The growth of the sterilization services market can largely be attributed to factors such as the high incidence of hospital-acquired infections; the increasing number of surgical procedures; the growing focus on food sterilization; and the increasing outsourcing of sterilization services among pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and medical device manufacturers. In addition, the growing medical device, and pharmaceutical companies in emerging economies, increasing use of E-beam sterilization, reintroduction of ethylene oxide sterilization, and the growing healthcare industry and outsourcing of operation to emerging countries.
Over the years, there has been a significant rise in the number of surgical procedures performed worldwide. According to the WHO (2019), approximately 235 million major surgical procedures are performed worldwide every year. This is attributed to the growing prevalence of obesity and other lifestyle diseases, the rising geriatric population, and the increasing incidence of spinal injuries and sports-related injuries. The growing number of surgical procedures performed has resulted in the increasing demand for different surgical equipment and medical devices. This is expected to drive the demand for sterilization services due to the proven benefits of sterilized products and growing awareness about their effectiveness in healthcare settings.
Equipment sterilization plays a critical role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in healthcare settings. During the outbreak, patient-to-patient pathogen transmission via medical devices can be entirely prevented by properly sterilizing medical devices. The usage of reprocessed equipment to disinfect or sterilize medical devices is higher than normal during the pandemic since improper decontamination of surgical instruments, endoscopic devices, respiratory care devices, and reusable hemodialysis machines can increase the chances of COVID-19. This has increased the demand for sterilization services to ensure the proper sterilization of medical devices. Considering the higher demand for sterilization, governments and corporations are taking various initiatives to increase their sterilization capacity. In 2020, Sotera Health Company acquired Iotron, a key outsourced provider of E-beam sterilization services in North America. This acquisition helped expand its electron beam (E-beam) footprint and added new expertise to its Sterigenics business. These strategic initiatives by key participants are anticipated to drive the market for Sterilization Services in the coming years.
Some of the leading companies operating in the market include STERIS plc, Sotera Health Company, Stryker Corporation, Advanced Sterilization Products, E-BEAM Services, Inc., MMM Group, Belimed AG (Switzerland), BGS Beta-Gamma-Service GmbH & Co. KG, Medistri SA, and Noxilizer, Inc.
