Global Medical Device Cleaning Market is valued at approximately USD 2.14 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.2% over the forecast period 2022-2029. The surgical procedure must include cleaning of medical devices. Most of the medical equipment, including scalpels, scissors, endoscopes, retractors, and forceps, is used in surgical procedures. The medical device must be carefully cleaned and disinfected before being used in subsequent surgical procedures in order to reduce infections among patients and medical staff. The key factors driving the market growth are increasing cases of hospital acquired infection, growing prevalence of chronic diseases in geriatric population, and rising number of surgical procedures.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an approx 687,000 Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) were reported in acute care hospitals in the US in 2021. And around 72,000 hospital patients with HAIs died during hospitalization. As a result, rising HAIs will create lucrative demand for the market. Also, growing healthcare expenditure and medical tourism in emerging economies would create lucrative opportunities for the market during forecast period. However, the concerns regarding safety of reprocessed instruments stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Medical Device Cleaning Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the rising cases of hospital acquired infection and growing prevalence of chronic diseases in the region.
