Medical Device Cleaning Market

The Global Medical Device Cleaning Market driven by Growing Focus On Infection Control

Medical devices play a crucial role in healthcare to diagnose, monitor or treat medical conditions. These devices are used multiple times on different patients, which necessitates proper cleaning and disinfection or sterilization to prevent cross-contamination and Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). Various cleaning agents and processes are used for cleaning and disinfecting medical devices based on their material composition, intended use and degree of patient contact. Enzymatic, alkaline and acidic cleaners are commonly used to remove organic debris, proteins, blood and other contaminants from surfaces of devices. The global Medical Device Cleaning Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.06 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends in the medical device cleaning market is the growing adoption of automated cleaning systems. Automated systems help improve workflow efficiency by reducing manual labor and risk of human errors involved in cleaning. These systems enable continuous cleaning and monitoring of cleaning cycles. Moreover, automated systems employ sophisticated technology such as barcode tracking of devices and usage of robotics which helps achieve better cleaning outcomes through standardized, controlled and reproducible cleaning procedures. They also eliminate dependence on skilled labor. Ongoing technological advances are making automated systems more affordable and suitable for small to medium scale facilities. This is expected to drive increased demand for automated cleaning systems during the forecast period.
