Growth Drivers

  • Rising Prevalence of Hospital-Acquired Infections – Infections that arise at a hospital or other healthcare institution during the course of obtaining medical care are known as "health care-associated infections" (HCAIs). Urinary tract infections, wound infections (after surgery), skin infections, and infections that result in vomiting and/or diarrhea are the most commonly reported HCAIs. According to research, 10-15% of hospitalized patients in high-income nations get HCAIs, which can affect up to more than 20% of patients admitted to critical care units (ICUs).

  • Growing Outsourcing of Sterilizing Services– Sanitary processing is increasingly being outsourced by hospitals to skilled third-party suppliers in order to cut internal expenses associated with sterilization, as well as the growing desire for contract sterilization among medical device firms. By 2022, more than 40% of healthcare professionals in the United States, and the United Kingdom, is anticipated to choose to have their patients sterilized by a third party.

  • Increase in Attention towards Cleaning and Sanitizing Food– Sanitizing bring the amount of germ and other microbes down to levels that are deemed safe for human health.

Mobile Sterile Units Market Segmentation:

Application Segment Analysis

The global mobile sterile units market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by applications into hospitals, clinics, research institutes, and others. Out of the four types hospitals segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the greater use of sterile units in hospitals to reduce cross-contamination. In hospitals, hazardous bacteria and viruses can spread through cross-contamination, which has led to a high need for sterile equipment. The challenging responsibility of receiving and treating sick patients while attempting to maintain a setting that avoids the transmission of infection to other patients, employees, and visitors is placed on hospitals. Cross contamination happens when one individual indirectly or directly distributes an infection to another. Furthermore, healthcare professionals must not only wash their hands properly, and also wear the necessary PPE for the task at hand. Furthermore, there has been surging demand for instrument infection control in hospitals that is expected to rise the segment’s growth in the market. Approximately, 65% of healthcare facilities featured handwashing sinks with water and soap in the restrooms and over 60% had hygiene facilities at the sites of care around the world.

Type Segment Analysis

The global mobile sterile units market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into cold sterilizers, steam sterilizers, gaseous sterilizers, ultraviolet sterilizers, and others. Amongst these segments, the cold sterilizers segment is expected to garner a significant share. Several medical practitioners choose the cold chemical sterilization method. Since it works best on heat-sensitive equipment that can't tolerate the considerably higher temperatures of dry heat sterilizers and autoclaves, this particular sterilization procedure is frequently referred to as "cold" sterilization. Moreover, cold sterilant is used for cleaning and sanitizing thermosensitive devices as well as medical and surgical equipment. For items that contain heat-sensitive chemicals and nonetheless need to be sterilized or bioreduced, cold sterilization offers low temperature molecular stabilization protection. For instance, to guarantee that heat-sensitive dental instruments are adequately cleaned and safe for reuse on patients, cold chemical sterilization is required.
