The increasing need for waste management in healthcare facilities is driving the market. During therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, various hospital wastes can be generated including radioactive, infectious, hazardous, or general hospital wastes. To treat the massive number of bio-hazardous wastes prior to disposal, some solutions include autoclaving, chemical disinfection, and encapsulation, as per guidelines set by bodies such as the CDC, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Hence, these are widely used for destroying microorganisms present in medical waste before using other medical waste disposal techniques. Additionally, there are numerous vendors in the steam market like Celitron Medical Technologies and Tuttnauer who provide a diverse range of options for healthcare facilities. Hence the above factors are likely to growth of the market during the forecast period.
Technological advances are a key trend in the market. Companies are increasingly investing in innovative, modern, high-quality, and technologically advanced that can sterilize medical devices and consumables more effectively and efficiently. One such innovation is the development of portable or mini autoclaves that can be used to treat multiple medical devices or instruments simultaneously. Additionally, the TLC-Line Advanced Laboratory offered by Tuttnauer are made for repetitive, effective sterilization in modern laboratories.
Additionally, these advanced products can be used for various applications like fast cooling, biohazard and waste sterilization, efficient drying, and specialized custom cycle programs. These enhanced features further boost the market growth. AMSCO Evolution Steam Sterilizer, an autoclave offered by STERIS helps in the sterilization of heat- and moisture-stable materials used in healthcare facilities. Additionally, it is integrated with a Steam Flush Pressure Pulse (SFPP) cycle, which removes the need for manual Bowie-Dick testing. Hence technological advancements in the market shall result in its market growth during the forecast period.
The rising demand for disposable medical consumables and devices is challenging market growth. These include needles, syringes, sutures, surgical gowns, masks, staplers, gloves, and masks and it is particularly observed in developed countries, such as the US, Germany, the UK, and France. Due to the possibility of cross-contamination in medical devices because of multi-drug-resistant microorganisms, disposable medical devices, and consumables are being increasingly adopted by healthcare providers during various medical procedures.
Moreover, the usage of disposable devices reduces the cost and time associated with reprocessing medical devices by various methods including autoclaving. There is the possibility of reprocessing agents being unable to enter concealed areas of reusable devices, which could be a breeding ground for the growth of infectious microorganisms. This would greatly compromise the safety of the individual being treated as well as the functionality of the device. Hence the above factors are likely to restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period.
