DUBLIN, Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Sterilization Technologies - A Global Market Overview" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Cornering an estimated market share of 38.1%, equating to US$3.2 billion, in 2018, North America leads the global Sterilization Technologies market and is expected to register a 2017-2024 CAGR of 6% to reach a projected US$4.6 billion by 2024. The global market for sterilization technologies in 2018 is estimated at US$8.5 billion.

Growth in demand for sterilization equipment and techniques is expected to be driven by greater emphasis on refurbishing of medical devices as a means of curbing expenses. Another factor reinforcing demand is the technological advancements made in medical instruments such as endoscopes and analyzers, which have, in turn, contributed to an increasing requirement for advanced sterilizers and techniques that are compatible with these instruments.
