The global sterilization services market is anticipated to grow from USD 3.6 billion in 2024 to USD 5.2 billion by 2029, driven by a CAGR of 7.7%. Key factors fueling this growth include the rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and the increasing trend of hospitals and medical device manufacturers outsourcing sterilization processes to third-party vendors to cut costs. While the gamma sterilization segment is expected to dominate, e-beam sterilization is gaining traction for its rapid processing times and effectiveness. Challenges remain, particularly concerning the safety of reprocessed medical instruments, which can lead to infections if not adequately sterilized. The Asia Pacific region is projected to experience the highest growth due to an uptick in medical device and pharmaceutical industries, coupled with a growing geriatric population. Key players in the market include STERIS plc, Sotera Health, and Servizi Italia, among others. Overall, the market’s dynamics reflect a significant shift towards outsourcing sterilization services to enhance efficiency and safety in healthcare.
