Steam Autoclaves Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Product Configuration (Table Top Steam Autoclaves, Vertical Steam Autoclaves, Horizontal Steam Autoclaves, and Others), By Technology (Gravity Displacement, Pre-Vacuum, Steam Flush Pressure Pulse), By Working Model (Automatic, Semi-Automatic, Pre-Vacuum, and Post-Vacuum), By End Users (Research Organizations, Biotech/ Pharmaceutical Companies, Contract Research Organizations (Cros), Hospitals And Clinics), By Capacity (Small (Up To 100 Litres), Medium (100-500 Litres), Large (Above 500 Litres)) and Region

Steam Autoclaves Market size was valued at US$ 2,663.2 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2024-2030. A steam autoclave is a device used to sterilize equipment and materials by exposing them to high-pressure saturated steam at a high temperature for a specified period. This process effectively kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, making it an essential tool in medical, laboratory, and industrial sterilization applications. The high temperature ranges from 121°C to 134°C and it’s kept for a time of 15-20 minutes. The steam autoclave market refers to the global industry involved in the production, distribution, and sales of steam autoclaves. The steam autoclaves market is mainly driven by an increase in the prevalence of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) and the need for effective control measures. Advancement of healthcare facilities, increase in pharmaceutical production, research activities requiring stringent sterilization protocols, and growing awareness among people contribute to the expansion of the market.

Although an increase in HAIs gives an expansion factor, initial investment and maintenance costs and material limitations that can withstand high temperatures are posing as restraints. The need for skilled personnel to manage and troubleshoot autoclave operations also contributes to challenges. Increasing integration of digital controls and automated processes to enhance efficiency, and use of sustainable materials and technologies that reduce water and energy consumption, growing demand for portable and compact autoclaves for small clinics, dental offices, and field use, adoption of pre-vacuum and steam flush pressure pulse (SFPP) technologies for more efficient sterilization are the main trends of this market. COVID-19 negatively impacted the global economy, shutting down most industries due to strict lockdowns. However, the steam autoclave market saw profits during the pandemic due to increased demand for sterilization equipment, driven by WHO's guidelines for laboratories to maintain biosafety levels BSL-2 and BSL-3. Despite disruptions in the supply chain caused by lockdowns, the market is expected to grow and perform better during the forecast period as COVID-19 cases decrease.

Steam Autoclaves Market Key Developments:
  • In May 2024, CAI, a global provider of technical, operational consulting, and project management services, collaborated with Fedegari Group, a producer and service provider of high-performance sterilization systems. This agreement will improve steam sterilization capabilities for firms in the life sciences and biotech industries.
  • In March 2024, Schoeller-Bleckmann Medizintechnik (SBM), a Syntegon subsidiary, launched the SBM Essential Line, a new range of sterilizers. The SBM Essential Line's sterilizers disinfect porous and solid equipment, as well as liquids in containers such as vials, cartridges, or pens, using either a vacuum-steam (ADV), steam-air mixture (SDR), or combined (SDT) procedure
  • In September 2022, Priorclave launched the BASE range of autoclaves, targeting the UK market with front-loading laboratory and research-grade autoclaves in capacities of 100, 150, and 200 litres?.

Steam Autoclaves Market Dynamics

The increase in HAI has also drawn the attention of healthcare facilities to sterilizers. According to WHO research published in May 2022, 15 low- and middle-income patients and 7 high-income patients are projected to develop at least one HAI. On average, 1 out of every 10 infected patients dies from HAI. Every year, approximately 9 million HAIs are reported in acute and long-term care facilities across Europe. The increased occurrence of diseases such as HAIs is considerably driving market growth. The increase in the number of surgical procedures performed is likely to drive market expansion over the next several years. Hazardous waste management is an essential part of the healthcare business. Maintaining disinfection, sterilization, and hygiene surroundings in hospitals and industries has become increasingly important, resulting in the increased use of steam autoclaves and the implementation of a central sterile services department (CSSD) architecture.
