Hospital Cleaning Technologies Market Expected to Reach $948.1 Million by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Hospital Cleaning Technologies Market," The hospital cleaning technologies market size was valued at $389.41 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $948.1 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2022 to 2031.

Hospital cleaning technologies are the advanced cleaning practices used across the globe for cleaning and sanitization. These advance techniques include the use of UV light for disinfection, ultrasonic cleaning technologies, steam sterilizers, and electrostatic spray technology. In addition, for the safety and wellbeing of patients, keeping patient care environments clean is necessary. An increasing number of administrators, physicians, and government are looking toward the technology sector for solutions as more information about the hazards of HAIs and the associated costs to the healthcare system become available.

Moreover, the rapid increase in the number of the healthcare facilities, also caused increase in demand for the cleaning technologies in these healthcare facilities. According to the American Hospital Association, until 2022, there are about 6,093 public and private hospitals in the U.S. Furthermore, hospital cleaning is far more complex process than cleaning of any other normal infrastructure; hence, additional advance technologies are required to keep the healthcare facility environment clean. This is increasing the demand for advanced cleaning technologies in the hospitals such as UV disinfection and ESS and further boosts the growth of the hospital cleaning technologies market size.

In addition, In 2020 and 2021, the pandemic's second wave raised the demand for cleaning supplies. Companies in the supply chain joined together to start new production of hand sanitizers. Due to the unanticipated increase in demand for cleaning products, there was a shortage of supply, and several manufacturers increased their production capacities to meet the demand globally. 

Over the past few decades, U.S. has also witnessed a number of other pandemics. The COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. has also significantly increased demand as well as the supply for hand sanitizers in the nation.

The ongoing global COVID-19 epidemic has increased sales for automated UV-C light-based surface disinfection. To stop the corona virus from spreading, the healthcare industry and other commercial organizations have demanded that manual cleaning techniques be discontinued; thus inculcating the use of UV light-based disinfection. Thus, demand for such advanced cleaning technologies including UV lights, ESS and air purifiers have increased, which leads to the growth of the hospital cleaning technologies market share.

According to the product segment, sanitizer dispenser segment was the largest segment in 2021 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to increase in HAIs and other viral infections. For instance, according to the WHO, until August 2022, there have been 579,092,623 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 6,407,556 deaths reported globally.

By application, in hospital cleaning technologies market trends, the surface cleansers segment held a dominant portion in the global market in 2021. On the contrary, the sanitization segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate at a CAGR due to adoption of various sanitization programs at offices, healthcare facilities and home.

By end user, the state owned hospitals registered the largest revenue of the market in 2021. On the other hand, the private hospitals are expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the hospital cleaning technologies market forecast period.

Region wise, in hospital cleaning technologies market analysis, North America acquired a major share, owing to presence of key players, rise in government initiatives and well-developed healthcare infrastructure. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate at a CAGR for the hospital cleaning technologies industry throughout the forecast period.

The major companies profiled in this hospital cleaning technologies industry include American Specialties, Inc., Blueair AB, Bright Pancar SDN. BHD, Coway Co., Ltd, Crest Ultrasonics Corp., Digital Light Labs, Ecolab Inc., Emerson Electric, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Koninklijke Philips N., L&R Ultrasonics, Maxcharge, 3M Company, Omegasonics, Panasonic Corporation, Toshi Automation Solutions, UV-technik International Ltd, and among others.
