Cleaning medical devices is an essential element of every surgical procedure. Since most medical devices (such as shears, scalpels, retractors, endoscopes, and forceps) are reused in healthcare procedures. Prior to actually being used in subsequent surgical procedures, the medical gadget must be sterilized and cleaned thoroughly to avoid any contamination among patients and the healthcare personnel. Disinfectants and cleansers for cleaning and sanitizing medical devices are found in medical device cleaning. The global Medical Device Cleaning Market Size is predicted to increase at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2020 to 2026.
Due to increased pharmaceutical manufacturing during the pandemic wave, coupled with favorable government initiatives, and the implementation of partial subsidy schemes to slash production costs, pharmaceutical excipients are in high demand.
The global medical device cleaning market is expected to be driven by stringent rules for reusable medical equipment to aid in reducing the severity of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), increasing focus on sterilization and disinfection in the healthcare sector, increasing government investments to improve healthcare infrastructure, and increasing healthcare expenditure by patients. UV sanitizing devices are becoming increasingly popular among medical device cleaners. The UV sanitizer effectively kills bacteria on medical instruments and in operating rooms, with minimal contact and increased efficiency as compared to the manual cleaning methods is also estimated to be a key growth segment of the medical device cleaning market.
Segmental Analysis
The segmentation of the medical device cleaning market is broadly categorized by process, by end users, and by application.
·On the basis of process, the market segmentation is subdivided into disinfection, automatic cleaning, manual cleaning, and presoak/precleaning. According to various analyses, the segment that is anticipated to have the highest CAGR is automatic cleaning. The primary factor responsible for this upsurge is the increase in demand for smart products and appliances.
·On the basis of end users, the market is segmented into hospitals, pediatric centers, clinics, diagnostic centers, and dental clinics.
Detailed Regional Analysis
The global medical device cleaning market regions are North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific. In 2020, North America dominated the market, accounting for about 33.73 percent of worldwide revenue. The increased share acquired by the area is projected to be due to a consistent number of strategic initiatives adopted by leading market players to broaden their brand portfolio and infection control competencies.
By 2028, the Asia-Pacific medical device cleaning market is projected to be valued at USD 8.12 billion. From 2021 to 2028, it is expected to register a CAGR of 11.2%. The development of new technologies for cleansing medical equipment and the increased adoption of preventive measures to limit hospital-acquired infections are the primary factors driving market expansion in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Furthermore, rising concerns about healthcare-associated illnesses spreading through the environment or individuals are a crucial driver driving the APAC market forward. Surgical site infection, for example, is the top infection among overall patients in Asian nations, impacting roughly two-thirds of operated patients, which is nine times higher than in industrialized countries, according to the WHO Patient Safety information page. Furthermore, the Covid-19 pandemic and the high prevalence of infectious diseases are propelling market expansion in this region.
Competitive Analysis
Companies are also pursuing partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions in order to expand their product portfolios, production capabilities and create competitive differences. For instance, a company, PurpleSun Inc., based in the United States, has recently created UV technology that reduced more than 96% of microbes in operating rooms (ORs) and on medical equipment, which is more efficient than manual cleaning methods that rely on chemicals to sanitize surfaces, providing only 38%
The major companies involved in the global medical device cleaning market are Steris plc, GetingeAB, Advanced Sterilization Products, Biotrol, Oro Clean Chemie AG, Cantel Medical Corp, Sklar Surgical Instruments.
