Sterilization containers is a reusable rigid container that is used to keep and store surgical instruments after they have been sterilized. These containers come in a variety of materials and sizes, and they have filters that allow sterilizing agents to enter. Sterilization containers are categorized as Class II medical equipment.

They provide significant environmental and economic benefits as well as improved safety. Sterilization containers are made of metal or plastic, which require higher upfront costs. When compared to sterilization wraps and their associated disposal costs, the reusability of rigid containers results in a huge reduction in waste generated.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Sterilization containers play a crucial role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in healthcare premises. During the outbreak, patient-to-patient pathogen transmission via medical devices is completely prevented by correctly sterilizing the medical devices. The use of sterilization equipment to sterilize or disinfect the medical devices has increased during the pandemic, due to inappropriate decontamination of endoscopic devices, surgical instruments, and respiratory care devices, which can increase the threat of COVID-19 transmission.

Many countries have started to reopen, but it will take time for the consumption rates of surgical container systems to reach pre-pandemic levels. In addition, any resurgence in COVID-19 infections could result in lockdown and other restrictions to slow down the spread of COVID-19, which could negatively impact market growth.

Top Impacting Factors

• Increase in prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) is the primary growth driver for the sterilization container systems market.
• Surge in geriatric population and rise in prevalence of chronic diseases lead to a large number of surgical procedures, therefore demand for sterilization container systems increases, which, in turn, is propelling the growth of the sterilization container systems market.
• The implementation stringent regulations on sterilization & disinfection and the presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure boost the sterilization container systems market growth.
• Owing to increase in cosmetic surgeries, the demand for sterilization container systems increases, which, in turn, is propelling the growth of the sterilization container systems market.
• However, in developing countries, healthcare professionals are gradually adopting disposable wraps, which are less expensive than sterilization containers, thus restraining the market growth.
• On the contrary, emerging economies such as BRIC and countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia are expected to provide substantial growth opportunities in the sterilization container systems market.

In 2020, Medline Industries (U.S.) opened a national sales support center in Libertyville, US. This will strengthen the company’s customer base.

Surge in usage in sterilization containers

HAIs are major problems in healthcare management and cause morbidity and mortality. The Center for Disease Control has estimated that alone in American hospitals, nearly 1.7 million infections are HAIs, of which 22% are surgical site infections. Surgical site infections (SSIs) are normally occurring HAIs, credited to the surgical placement of implants or prosthesis or caused by exposure to instruments and materials brought during an operation, surgical personnel, surgical tools, the operating environment, and endogenous flora. The most common bacteria associated with HAIs comprise methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Klebsiella, C. difficile, Enterococcus, E. coli, and Pseudomonas. The growing prevalence of HAIs is the major growth driver for the sterilization container systems market.
