Sterilant Market Share

Sterilant Market Overview

Sterilant market Size was valued at USD 2.32 Billion in 2022. The Sterilant market industry is projected to grow from USD 2.37 Billion in 2023 to USD 4.02 Billion by 2032, the Sterilant Market is projected to experience a significant compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.10% from 2023 to 2032.

The process is used for eliminating microorganisms such as fungi, spores, bacteria, viruses, and other biological agents from inanimate objects is called sterilization, and sterilant are the chemicals used in this process. Sterilants are composed of pure chemicals and chemical compounds, such as pure chlorine and peracetic acid. Owing to the ability of sterilants to eradicate spores, they are preferred over disinfectants which are extensively used in pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. The key factors driving the growth of sterilant market is the increasing demand for processed food, which uses sterilant as food preservatives to increase their shelf life and protect them from exposure towards microorganisms. Moreover, the growing healthcare industry adds to the growth of the global sterilant market owing to the need of sterilant such as peracetic acid for sterilization of medical equipment. The increasing use of sterilants in the agriculture industry to protect the agronomic crops is likely to boost the growth of the global sterilant market during the review period. Furthermore, sterilants such as peracetic acid are environmentally friendly due to which they are being preferred for sterilization of medical equipment; also, they do not leave any toxic residue after application which is expected to make it an opportunistic market during the forecast period. However, when in contact with human bodies, sterilants can cause adverse health effects such as irritation in eyes, allergies such as dermatitis, and respiratory irritation. Moreover, high concentrations of some sterilants are corrosive in nature leading to deterioration of the inanimate surface, thus, owing to these factors, the growth of the sterilants market is expected to get hampered during the forecast period.

Tristel ULT is supplied in a unique dosage container with two distinct sections in 2023. The Tristel Part A solution (sodium chlorite) is in one compartment, and the Tristel Part B solution (citric acid) is in the other. The two solutions combine when the pump is squeezed, producing a precise and reliable dosage of foam made of chlorine dioxide. The procedure is perfect for isolated areas because it doesn't require water or electricity. Furthermore, compared to other high-level disinfection techniques now available on the market, the solution is less costly, quicker, and simpler to use.

Regional Analysis

The global sterilant market has been cataloged into five regions, namely North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The market in Asia-Pacific held the largest share in the global sterilant market and is expected to be a dominant region during the assessment period. Owing to continuously growing population and increasing geriatric occupants, the number of  healthcare facilities in the region which are using sterilants for sterilization medical equipment is increasing; this fuels the adoption of sterilants in the regional market. For Instance, on September 23, 2018, Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) was launched by the Government of India, according to which it will provide USD 7,124 worth of health insurance to over 100 million families every year. The demand for sterilant in North America is driven by the increase in consumption of processed food in the region. Moreover, a well-established pharmaceutical industry in the region adds to the consumption of sterilants. For Instance, in 2015, individuals in Canada were attaining 54.8% of the daily energy calorie by consuming processed and ultra-processed foods, which is expected to boost the global market in the coming years. Moreover, governmental regulations for adoption of green products is another factor expected to boost the growth of the market. For Instance, peracetic acid is recognized as a safe chemical for food protection by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The market of sterilants in Europe is driven by its strong pharmaceutical and food & beverages industry leading to consumption of sterilants at significant rate, to provide adequate products to their consumer. The sterilant market in the Middle East & Africa market is expected to register positive growth during the forecast period, which is attributed to the use of sterilants in food & beverages industry and water treatment plants. The Latin American sterilant market is expected to exhibit sluggish growth during the forecast period owing to the usage of sterilant in agriculture premises and healthcare sector.
