• A substantial surge is anticipated in the terminal sterilization services market size in the coming years, with expectations to reach "$22.89 billion by 2029, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%.
This surge during the forecasted period can be credited to the fast-growing biopharmaceutical industry, the need for sterilizing single-use medical devices, emphasis on outsourcing sterilization procedures, growth in contract sterilization services, the globalization of medical device manufacturing, and the rising adoption of sterile packaging. Emerging trends in the forecast period consist of escalating outsourcing trends, advancements in sterilization technologies, focus on single-use devices, stringent regulatory compliance, and emphasis on environmental sustainability.
What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling the Terminal Sterilization Services Market's Growth?
As hospital-based infections continue to rise, the demand for terminal sterilization services is set to soar. These infections, known as healthcare-associated infections, are infections that were neither incubating nor evident upon admission to the hospital. The critical role of terminal sterilization in hospitals is to curb the spread of these infections through the sterilization of medical devices and instruments used within the patient’s body. This process prevents any possible contamination. In May 2022, a WHO report revealed that over 24% of patients across the globe had suffered from healthcare-associated infections within that year. Similarly, the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that roughly 1.7 million infections and 99,000 deaths annually could be traced back to hospital-acquired infections. Additionally, they revealed that by 2022, 32% of all healthcare-acquired infections in the U.S. are predicted. The trajectory shows a steady climb in these figures. Therefore, the rise in hospital-acquired infections acts as a market driver for terminal sterilization services.
