Sterilization Pouches Market Size, Share, Emerging Trends, Demand, Revenue and Forecasts Research

The global sterilization pouches market size is projected to reach USD 44.61 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.51% during the forecast period. Spread of infections through contaminated medical devices is set to spike the demand for sterilization containers, shares Fortune Business Insights(TM) in its report, titled "Sterilization Pouches Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Sterilization Pouches {Paper Pouches, Plastic Pouches}, Sterilization Wrapping, Sterilization Containers and Others), By Application (Hospitals, CSSDs, Clinics & and Others) and Regional Forecast, 2020-2027".


Medical devices are indispensible items in any healthcare facility, being employed in various kinds of health procedures. These devices need to be stored in sterile environments to prevent them from getting contaminated. However, medical equipment is one of the primary causes of spread of healthcare-associated infections. According a 2018 study of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), temporary medical devices such as urinary catheters were a frequent cause of spread of infections in healthcare facilities in the US between 2015 and 2017. Sterilization pouches are, therefore, crucial in maintaining the sterility standards of the devices used for healthcare purposes, which is the primary factor driving the market growth.


Market Restraint

Increasing Generation of Plastic Waste by Medical Facilities to Stem Market Growth 

Medical facilities generate enormous amounts of plastic waste, since majority of instruments and equipment used in these facilities contain plastics. According to the US Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council, 40% (approximately 5 million pounds) of plastic waste generated in US hospitals is from sterilization pouches and wraps. As a result, there is growing clamor for the use of reusable and recyclable plastic sterilization products in hospitals. Surveys conducted by Practice Greenhealth, a non-profit organization dedicated to make hospitals more sustainable, found that hospitals that had replaced sing-use plastic devices with reusable ones have experienced a significant decline in waste generation. Greenhealth also opines that reusable medical products can also reduce costs by a sizeable margin for healthcare facilities.


Regional Insights

Consistent Access to Quality Healthcare to Ensure Stable Product Demand in North America

In 2019, the market size in North America stood at USD 9,534.68 million and the region is expected to dominate the sterilization pouches market share in the forthcoming years. The main reason for this is the assured access to standard healthcare services and products to populations across the region. Moreover, per capita healthcare expenditure in Europe is also considerably high compared to other countries, which is further fueling the growth of the regional market.

The market in Europe is anticipated to showcase promising growth owing to active adoption of advanced sterilization solutions in healthcare facilities in Western Europe. In Asia Pacific, healthcare expenditure is steadily rising, especially in India and China, which augurs well for the global market.
