Global Laboratory Sterilizers Market 2016-2020

Global outlook of the laboratory sterilizers market

According to the market research analysts at Technavio, the global laboratory sterilizers market is expected to witness rapid growth at an impressive CAGR of more than 7% over the forecast period. The rising incidences of nosocomial infections are one of the important factors driving this market’s growth in the coming years. Nosocomial or hospital-acquired infection is contracted by an individual while receiving medical treatment at a healthcare facility. In the past decade, the number of nosocomial infections has been on the rise due to improper disposal and disinfection techniques employed in hospitals and clinics around the world. This has led several healthcare and safety authorities around the world mandating the use of disinfection tools and sterilizers in healthcare facilities, and ensuring proper waste disposal procedures.

With the advancements in technology, laboratory sterilizers are becoming smarter and more flexible, allowing them to function efficiently without minimal human input. These sterilizers can also be integrated to work in tandem with other devices or instruments in the lab. Products such as the CertoClave Essential have improved connectivity and allow data logging and remote monitoring of equipment functions and results. Monitoring the function of such equipment also allows predictive maintenance and easier troubleshooting, ultimately leading to better yield and longer life of the equipment.
