The global low temperature sterilization market size is anticipated to reach USD 5.07 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 10.99% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising incidence of HAIs is expected to drive demand for low-temperature sterilization solutions in the coming years, as these sterilizers effectively sanitize medical instruments like thermometers and endoscopes. According to data published by the WHO in May 2022, out of every 100 patients in acute-care healthcare settings such as hospitals, 15 in low- and middle-income nations and 7 in high-income countries will develop at least one HAI during their hospital visit and stay. Furthermore, on average, 1 in 10 patients affected by HAI may die. This increasing prevalence of HAIs is expected to increase the focus on infection control and prevention, further boosting the future demand for low-temperature sterilization methods.
The increasing popularity of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization is anticipated to boost market growth in the coming years. Supportive government rules and regulations for this sterilization technique are expected to boost the demand for low-temperature sterilizers that use vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization methods. For instance, in January 2024, Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP), a low-temperature sterilization technique, was approved by the FDA to sterilize medical devices. With this authorization, the agency facilitated broader adoption of VHP as a sterilization technique for the medical device industry. Such approvals from the regulatory authorities for vaporized hydrogen peroxide are anticipated to boost the market growth in the coming years.
The market is expected to grow in the coming years due to technological advancements. For instance, in March 2024, Getinge introduced a low-temperature sterilization system called Poladus 150, designed for sterilizing heat-sensitive surgical instruments. This system features advanced cross-contamination barrier technology and helps prevent HAII. Moreover, it is compatible with FleetView, a lifecycle management tool, and T-DOC, a sterile supply management software. The increasing connectivity and instrument traceability, along with the launch of technologically advanced products by industry players, are anticipated to drive market growth in the future.
