For instance, as per the Patient Care Link Organization, in the U.S. alone, the CDC has estimated that hospital-acquired infections account for 1.7 million infections & 99,000 HAIs-associated deaths. Terminal sterilization services help in sterilizing instruments used during surgical cases. Thus, with the increase in number of HAIs, hospitals are expected to use terminal sterilizers, thereby, impelling the market during the forecast period.

Thus, with the increase in number of endoscopic procedures, the market is expected to impel during the forecast period.
Furthermore, with a decline in population suffering from COVID-19, the earlier postponed elective surgeries are expected to be scheduled in near future, as a result, the risk of HAIs and other infections in anticipated to increase.

For instance, in September 2021, Nelson Labs & Sterigenics Germany GmbH announced opening a laboratory and expanding its sterilization facilities in Wiesbaden, Germany. This was expected to help the company capitalize on the growing demand for sterilization facilities. Thus, due to the aforementioned factors, the terminal sterilization services market is anticipated to grow significantly during the post-COVID period.
