Bio Decontamination Market size was valued at USD 158.26 million in 2024 and is projected to exceed USD 340.62 million by the end of 2037, registering over 6.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of bio decontamination is evaluated at USD 165.98 million.
Further, the market generated a revenue in the year 2022 owing to the increased number of surgical procedures giving rise to higher risk of post-operative infections. Based on Eurostat statistics, a total of 1.12 million C-section surgeries were performed in the EU-27 alone in 2020. In that same year, roughly 4.3 million cataract surgeries took place in the region. A total of 3,00,800 heart bypasses are performed each year worldwide. Each year, 220,000 surgical procedures are performed in the United States, compared with 45,000 in India. Additionally, the rise in the number of surgeries is also attributable to the availability of advanced medical technologies, which allows surgeons to execute more complicated procedures with greater accuracy, thus leading to faster recovery times and a lower risk of post-operative infection. This has led to an increased demand for biodecontamination services, as hospitals and medical centers strive to reduce the risk of post-operative infections.
There are a number of levels of decontamination that can be performed on a device, including physical cleaning, ultra-sonication, disinfection, antisepsis, sterilization, and others. Physical cleaning involves the removal of dirt and debris from surfaces, while ultra-sonication uses sound waves to break up cells and debris. Disinfection is used to kill microorganisms, while antisepsis is used to reduce the number of microorganisms present on surfaces. Sterilisation is the complete removal of all living organisms, and other methods such as fumigation and chemical treatments are used to reduce the number of microorganisms present in an environment.
Decontamination is important because it eliminates any potential pathogens that may be present and can help reduce the risk of infection to patients, visitors, and healthcare workers. Additionally, it helps to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, especially in healthcare settings where the number of people in close contact is high.
Additionally, the growing popularity of reusable medical devices in healthcare and medical settings is expected to fuel market growth as reusable medical devices can benefit healthcare facilities and patients by reducing costs, increasing safety, and improving the quality of medical care. Furthermore, reusable medical devices are preferred over disposable medical devices owing to their easy handling and convenience. In addition, the increasing number of regulatory guidelines issued by health authorities for the effective decontamination of reusable medical devices is expected to drive the market growth. These guidelines emphasize the importance of decontamination of reusable medical devices to reduce the risk of contamination and infection. Moreover, the growing awareness of healthcare-associated infections and their prevention is also anticipated to propel the bio decontamination market growth.

Product (Equipment, Service, Consumables)
The global bio decontamination market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by product into equipment, service and consumables. Out of these segments, the equipment segment is estimated to gain the largest market share by the end of year 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the growing demand for disinfection services in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. These industries are increasingly investing in bio decontamination equipment as a way to reduce costs, improve safety, and ensure product quality. Additionally, the growing prevalence of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, has increased the demand for decontamination equipment. Moreover, the segment growth is further driven by the increasing importance of decontamination technologies in various industries, such as the healthcare and food industries, that require advanced automated decontamination systems to ensure safety and quality. For instance, a new biodecontamination technology offered by Bioquell, which uses a 35% hydrogen peroxide vapour to reduce the level of contamination in cleanroom equipment, isolators, BSCs, rooms, pass-throughs, as well as emergency response and scheduled maintenance options. Additionally, the growing demand for automated decontamination equipment, driven by the need to reduce labor costs and improve efficiency, is expected to further boost the segment growth of the market.
End-user (Biotech, Medical Devices, Pharma, Life Sciences, Hospital)
The global bio decontamination market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end user into biotech, medical devices, pharma, life sciences and hospitals. Out of these segments, the medical devices segment is estimated to gain the largest market share by the end of year 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising demand from the healthcare industry for decontamination of medical equipment in order to reduce the risk of infections. This is in conjunction with an increase in chronic disease cases and an increase in minimally invasive surgical procedures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 51.8% of US adults have at least one chronic condition, and 27.2% have multiple chronic conditions. Additionally, the rise in the number of hospitals and healthcare centers, and the growing investments in healthcare infrastructure are contributing to the growth of the segment. Growing awareness among consumers regarding hygiene and safety, as well as the increasing demand for antimicrobial products to reduce contamination in medical devices is expected to drive the segment growth in the coming years. By segment type the market is segmented by chlorine, Hydrogen Peroxide, nitrogen And Peracetic Acid.

North American Market Forecast
The North American bio decontamination market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed the growing awareness among the public about the potential hazards posed by microbial contamination, which caused an increase in the demand for bio decontamination solutions in the region. Additionally, the increasing adoption of advanced decontamination technologies, such as UV-C, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide, has further propelled the market growth in the region. Moreover, the large number of pharmaceutical companies in region such as Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly and Co, Pfizer Inc, and Merck & Co Inc., which require the use of bio decontamination techniques to safely produce drugs and treatments is expected to fuel regional market growth. Furthermore, recent advancements in biotechnology have enabled the development of more advanced and advanced bio decontamination technologies, which are also driving investments and spending in the field. For instance, almost half of global pharmaceutical production (47%) and 23% of the industry are produced in the US. Based on the Congressional Budget Office's estimate, the pharmaceutical industry spent USD 83 billion on research and development in 2019.
APAC Market Statistics
The Asia Pacific bio decontamination market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the second largest share during the forecast period. The growth of the market can be attributed to the rising number of healthcare-associated infections, increasing prevalence of chronic and communicable diseases, the growing demand for cleanroom sterilization, and the growing demand for bio decontamination services.
