The medical device cleaning market is highly driven by increasing awareness of infection control and prevention strategies in healthcare sectors. To minimize hospital-acquired infections, stringent cleaning is required, such as with the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it is expected that demand for effective cleaning and disinfection solutions will increase as healthcare institutions focus on patient safety and adhere to legal requirements, thus fueling the market. 

The medical device cleaning market is following an automation trend. The reason behind their implementation in healthcare centers is to promote uniformity and improve the efficiency of the cleaning process. Automated cleaning devices such as robotic vacuums and ultrasonic cleaners are being installed in healthcare facilities. This transition towards automation is strongly supported to minimize the scope of human error, improve infection control procedures, and standardize practices. In the future, automation should spread through health institutions as this technology matures.

North America maintained its leadership position in the medical device cleaning market share of more than 33.52%, in 2023. The reason for the higher market share in the regional market is believed to be owing to the consistent application of strategic alliances by the prominent market players for widening the product portfolios and improving the infection control capabilities. Attractive reimbursement policies and strict government regulations on cleaning and disinfecting medical equipment are expected to propel the regional market. Some of the primary drivers responsible for the rising utilization of sterile procedures include the increasing use of non-disposable medical equipment and the need to minimize costs of hospital-acquired infections.
