Sterilization Equipment Market by Products (Sterile Membrane Filters, Radiation Sterilization Devices [Gamma Rays, Electron Beams, and Others], Low-temperature Sterilizers [Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizers, Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers, and Others], and Heat Sterilizers [Steam Autoclaves and Depyrogenation Oven]) and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028
The global sterilization equipment market size was valued at USD 5.48 billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach USD 12.57 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 10.1 % during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increase in the prevalence of Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) due to the lack of sanitation and preventive measures.
Sterilization is the process of removing all types of bacteria from a solid surface or liquid. In most life sciences laboratories and healthcare settings, a sterile atmosphere is an optimum requirement. Sterilization stops bacteria from growing on solid surfaces and in liquids, preventing them from spreading further. Steam, dry, chemical, and filter sterilization are some of the methods used by sterilization equipment. In the healthcare and medical device industries, the majority of items are terminally sterilized. Multiple parameters, such as the number of beginning organisms, temperature regulation in every element of the equipment, and the intrinsic vitality of individual microorganisms to resist heat, all have an impact on industrial sterilization operations.
The impact of COVID-19 pandemic has been positive on the sterilization equipment market. Due to the ongoing pandemic and due to the growing cases of HAIs in hospital settings, demand for sterilization equipment and services has increased significantly and is expected to remain the same during the forecast period globally.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rising incidence of HAIs in hospital settings is one of the key factors driving the market growth.
- Increasing prevalence of chronic conditions is expected to boost the market growth in the coming years.
- Harmful effects related to ethylene oxide and its application presents a major challenge. This is likely to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
- Concerns related to the safety of reprocessed surgical instruments is expected to hamper the market growth during the projected timeline.
- Growing healthcare sector and increasing outsourcing of sterilization equipment specially in developing regions is projected to create significant growth opportunities for the market in the near future.

Market Segment Insights
Low-temperature sterilizers segment to grow at a rapid pace
Based on products, the global sterilization equipment market is segregated into sterile membrane filters, radiation sterilization devices, low-temperature sterilizers, and heat sterilizers. The radiation sterilization devices are further divided into gamma rays, electron beams, and others. The low-temperature sterilizers segment is sub-categorized as hydrogen peroxide sterilizers, ethylene oxide sterilizers, and others, while the heat sterilizers segment consists of steam autoclaves and depyrogenation oven. The low-temperature sterilizers segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to the rising need for sterilization of heat and moisture-sensitive medical equipment with complicated designs. Moreover, the complex innovations and changing healthcare environment is further expected to drive the segment growth.
North America to constitute a key market share
In terms of regions, the global sterilization equipment market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period attributed to the rising prevalence of HAIs and favorable reimbursement policies, which improve the adoption of sterilization equipment across the region. However, the market of Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to factors, such as the growing demand for non-disposable medical devices, the rising awareness about hygiene in hospitals and clinics, and the increasing need for controlling HAIs in the region.
