Medical Device Cleaning Market Size

Medical Device Cleaning Market Future Prospects

The global medical device cleaning market will generate an estimated revenue of USD 2,735.2 million in 2024, which is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.5% during 2024–2030, reaching USD 3,773.2 million in 2030. The market is expanding as patients and doctors are becoming more aware of the benefits of properly cleaned medical devices. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases, surging frequency of road accidents, increasing count of surgical procedures, and growing elderly population are propelling the growth of the market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has played a key role in raising awareness of this issue. A rise in the older population, increase in accident rates, surge in the prevalence of chronic diseases, and growth in global surgery rates contribute to the market expansion. The demand for medical equipment cleaning products increased due to the rising number of patients with COVID-19 infection and the increasing rate of hospitalization during this period.

Products the demand for which rose massively included detergents, sanitizers, and autoclaves. Since coronavirus is a communicable disease, the significance of sanitizing medical equipment increased significantly during this time. Moreover, even if the popularity of home-based care is increasing, the market will still continue to grow.

The rising incidence of HAIs is another key driver for the market. Among the most-prevalent such diseases are MRSA, SSIs, and UTIs. One of the most-significant challenges for hospitals is infection from pathogens resistant to antibiotics, including bloodborne infections and those that are contracted inside operating rooms. For instance, using urinary catheters frequently causes CAUTIs.

In addition, a number of efforts and campaigns are being carried out by health organizations and governments to encourage proper cleaning of medical equipment. For instance, in December 2021, the World Health Organization released an advisory for the care, cleaning, and disinfection of respiratory equipment in a sterile way as well as on the various techniques for cleaning medical equipment.
