Global Sterilization Equipment and Disinfectants Market— Insights
Sterilization is use of physical or chemical treatment to eliminate micro-organisms and pathogens. Disinfection is the process of controlling growth of micro-organisms. The process focusses on narrow spectrum bacteria and does not impact bacterial spores. Sterilization focuses on a broad spectrum of micro-organisms. To sterilize solid and glass equipment, autoclave uses high pressure and steam. Autoclave is convenient to use and requires low maintenance. The properties and advantages of different types of sterilization techniques vary accordingly. Chemical sterilization is preferred over heat sterilization for sterilizing heat sensitive materials.
Global Sterilization Equipment and Disinfectants Market: Drivers
High prevalence of hospital acquired infections (HAIs) is boosting growth of the global sterilization equipment and disinfectants market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the HAI Prevalence survey report, 2014, there were 722,000 acute cases of HAIs in the U.S. hospitals, resulting in 75,000 deaths. Moreover, the top 5 HAIs – surgical site infections, ventilator associated pneumonia, central line-associated bloodstream infection, C.difficile infections, and catheter associated pneumonia are responsible for major healthcare expenditure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Clostridium difficile, a bacteria predominantly present in intestine, is responsible for infection of intestinal colon and is a major cause of healthcare acquired infections in the U.S. hospitals resulting in an expenditure of US $4.8 billion annually on acute healthcare facility.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s guidelines for disinfection and sterilization in healthcare facilities, failure to attempt proper sterilization and disinfection leads risk of person-to-person disease host transmission. Moreover, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), hospitals in the U.S. with proper sterilization techniques and equipment will be granted Medicare positive payment adjustment in 2017. Such initiatives are also expected to boost growth of the global sterilization equipment and disinfectants market.
Global Sterilization Equipment and Disinfectants Market: Restraints
High M&R cost of sterilization equipment is a major factor hindering growth of the global sterilization equipment and disinfectants market. Moreover, stringent regulations laid by National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) associated with the use of toxic gas such as ethylene oxide during gas sterilization of heat sensitive devices such as electrical, rubber and plastic equipment in hospitals, is also expected to hinder growth of the market.

Global Sterilization Equipment and Disinfectants Market: Regional Analysis
North America is expected to hold dominant position in the global sterilization equipment and disinfectants market, due to increasing incidence of HAIs in the region. For instance, in 2017, at least a dozen of children who underwent cardiac surgery contacted a rare surgical site infection caused by mycobacterium abscessus in a children’s hospital in New Orleans (U.S.). Major cause of the infection was improper disinfection of operating room equipment. According to CDC, mycobacterium abscessus contaminates medical devices that may cause skin infections.
However, increased turnover rate of sterile processing technicians in the sterilization departments in the hospitals of the U.S. is expected to hinder growth of the market in North America. Increasing technological development in surgical devices leads to high demand for trained technicians. Such scenario can be addressed by investment in sterile processing equipment.
Global Sterilization Equipment and Disinfectants Market: Competitive Landscape
Key players in the market are focused on launching new products to expand their product portfolio. For instance, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved 3M’s new Biological Indictor (BI) sterilization testing kit, which determines the sterilization status of surgical devices within 24 minutes of the test.
Major players operating in the global sterilization equipment and disinfectants market include, Getinge Group, Cantel Medical Corporation, 3M Company, STERIS Corporation, Andersen Products Inc., Advanced Sterilization Products and HARTMANN GROUP (BODE Chemie GmbH is subsidiary company of HARTMANN GROUP).
