Bio Decontamination Market Size

Bio Decontamination Market size is expected to reach USD 315 million by the end of 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period, i.e., 2023-2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of bio decontamination was over USD 140 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.
