The Global Autoclave Equipment Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Rising Demand from Healthcare Sectors for Sterilizing Medical Equipment to Ensure the Safety of the Post-Surgical Period
Autoclave equipment is the most popular
sterilization method in the industry and is used for many applications
including the manufacture of food products. It is widely used in the
foodservice industry to sterilize and cleanse equipment used in the process of
preparing and serving food. The autoclave is the abbreviated form of autolysis
which means oxidation. Autoclaves have various parts including an electric
motor, a condenser, and a burner. Autoclave equipment includes vials for
sealing the autoclave, a glass or plastic container that has been lined with
wax or plastic, and the appropriate autoclave equipment accessories such
thermometer for measuring the temperature of the autoclave. All modern steam
sterilizing equipment & autoclave machines provide a much-refined workflow
experience, which makes you reconsider whether or not steam sterilizing is all
it can be. A wide range of sterilization methods is used for sterilizing your
medical and laboratory specimen so the right sterilization procedure for your type
of medical situation is very important. For instance, the most commonly used
surgical sterilization method is electrodesiccation which uses electric
currents to destroy microorganisms. Other commonly used sterilization methods
include carbon dioxide laser, ozone therapy, and surgical air blast.
Market Dynamics
The main factors driving the growth of the
market are the increasing concern over post-operation infection and diseases.
Autoclave equipment is essential to remove all the microorganisms such as spore-forming
and non-spore-forming bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. These
microorganisms can contaminate pharmaceutical and surgical equipment and
materials and can result in health hazards. The rapid requirement for surgical
processes is also boosting the market. For instance, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention in 2018, approximately 25.7 million
ambulatory surgery procedures were performed in healthcare units.
However, the high cost of sterilizing with
autoclave equipment across the globe and strict regulatory procedures in the
emerging economies are the main restraining factors hindering the growth of the
market.
This market is distributed in five regions
that include North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, and
Latin America. Among these, North America is estimated to hold a bigger share
of the autoclave
equipment market owing to the rapid increase of demand for sterilization
techniques from the healthcare sector to reduce the occurrence of Healthcare-associated
Infections (HAI), increased demand for healthcare services, and rise of the
geriatric population. According to the Urban Institute, the geriatric
population of the US was approximately 47 million in 2020. The market in the
Asia Pacific is estimated to witness significant growth owing to the presence
of key players in the region.
