Sterilization refers to the process of eliminating and reducing all forms of microorganisms present in the environment. It consists of various procedures, including heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure and filtration that kill spores, microbes, and viruses. Gamma, electron beam radiation and ethylene oxide (ETO) are some of the commonly used sterilization methods. Sterilization services are widely used to kill all forms of bacteria and fungi, thereby ensuring a clean environment, which, in turn prevents the transmission of germs and other diseases. As a result, they are widely used in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.

Sterilization Services Market Trends:

Significant expansion in the healthcare industry across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. The rising instances of hospital-acquired infections and the rising number of surgical procedures requiring high-intensity infection prevention and control is favoring the market growth. Moreover, the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is positively impacting the market growth as there has been an increase in concerns toward virus transmission, which has enabled individuals to practice routine and improved hygiene and preventive measures. Besides this, sterilization services are being widely adopted in medical equipment, such as reusable hemodialysis machines, respiratory care devices and surgical instruments, to prevent pathogen transfer, which is contributing to the market growth. Additionally, various product innovations, such as low-temperature sterilization systems that offer expanded instrument capability, shorter cycles, improved materials compatibility and eco-friendly properties, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing geriatric population that is more prone to chronic diseases and the implementation of various government initiatives to ensure a high degree of infection prevention, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth further.
