The sterilization equipment market in India is expected to reach $170 million in 2033. Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, India's sterilization market witnessed a remarkable transformation, where sterilization devices emerged as unwavering defenders of healthcare, safeguarding countless lives. The report by GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, showed that the demand for sterilization methods continues to increase owing to the growing awareness of disinfection and sterilization among healthcare personnel and the general population.

It further revealed that autoclaves are the major revenue contributors within the physical sterilizers market, accounting for around 35 percent of the total sterilization equipment market in 2023 in India, owing to their effectiveness and reliability.

These advancements are making it possible to sterilize a wider range of items, including delicate medical devices and heat-sensitive materials," said Jyoti Sharma, Medical Devices Analyst at GlobalData, in a statement.

As the demand for advanced sterilization technologies continues to grow, it is likely to expect more innovations in this space in the future. "The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed India's approach to infection control. Medical practitioners are now prioritizing safety measures more than ever before. The continuously evolving healthcare infrastructure, mounting requirements for medical devices, and rising emphasis on hygiene have rendered India an attractive destination for companies planning to invest in the sterilization equipment market," Sharma said.
