The Global Sterilants Industry is poised for substantial expansion, with projections indicating a substantial leap from USD 2361.627 million in 2023 to an impressive USD 4244.1 million by the year 2033. This significant surge reflects a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6%, underscoring positive market momentum over the forecast period.
The forecasted market growth is attributed to a confluence of factors, including increased awareness of sterilization practices across various industries, rising demand for healthcare services, and advancements in sterilization technologies. The 6% CAGR showcases a resilient and upward trajectory, highlighting the market’s ability to capitalize on evolving trends and technological advancements.
Industries and healthcare facilities must follow the sterilization process. In the Global Sterilants Industry, effective and compatible sterilants or sporicidal agents have been demanded due to the increasing incidence of infection transmission through surgical instruments or contaminated surfaces in contact with human skin and tissues.
A major driver of the sterilant market is the growing demand for processed food that uses sterilants to preserve food and protect it from microorganisms. As medical equipment must be sterilized with sterilants such as peracetic acid, the growing healthcare industry also contributes to the growth of the global sterilant market.
Due to the increasing use of sterilants in agriculture to protect crops, the global sterilant market is expected to grow in the coming years. Furthermore, sterilants such as peracetic acid are environmentally friendly, making them preferred for sterilizing medical equipment; in addition, they leave no toxic residues after application, making them an opportunity for the future.
“The growing demand for sterilized environments (in terms of sterilized surgical instruments and equipment) and surging demand for compatible sterilants have driven opportunities for manufacturers. Strategic acquisitions and collaborations by the manufacturers are leading to high growth of the Global Sterilants Industry in the coming years.” – says Sabyasachi Ghosh (Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights, Inc.)
