Market Segmentation

• In 2022, the semi-critical segment accounted for around 44.3% market share

On the basis of the device, the global medical device cleaning market is segmented into non-critical, semi-critical, and critical. The semi-critical segment's dominance in holding the largest market share can be attributed to its pivotal role in medical procedures. Semi-critical medical devices, which come into contact with mucous membranes or non-intact skin, require meticulous cleaning to prevent microbial transmission. The heightened focus on infection control, coupled with the increasing volume of semi-critical procedures, drives demand for effective cleaning solutions. Additionally, advancements in cleaning technologies tailored to semi-critical devices further contribute to the segment's prominence, as healthcare facilities prioritize comprehensive sanitation to ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance.

 

• The disinfection segment dominated the market with more than 48.6% revenue share in 2022

Based on the technique, the global medical device cleaning market is segmented into cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. The disinfection segment's leading market share is driven by its critical role in preventing healthcare-associated infections. Disinfection is a cornerstone of infection control, ensuring the elimination of pathogens on medical devices. The growing awareness of infection risks and stringent regulatory guidelines propel the demand for robust disinfection solutions. With healthcare facilities prioritizing patient safety and regulatory compliance, the disinfection segment garners significant traction. Continuous technological advancements in disinfection methods and products further bolster its dominance in the medical device cleaning market.

 

• The intermediate level segment held the largest market with more than 46.3% revenue share in 2022

Based on the EPA classification, the global medical device cleaning market is segmented into high level, intermediate level, and low level. The intermediate-level segment's dominance in holding the largest market share can be attributed to its crucial role in achieving a balance between effective cleaning and device preservation. Intermediate-level disinfection strikes a vital compromise, eliminating a wide spectrum of pathogens while being less corrosive on sensitive medical equipment. As healthcare facilities focus on both infection control and device longevity, this segment gains prominence. The demand for thorough yet gentle cleaning, driven by patient safety concerns and equipment maintenance, contributes to the significant market share of the intermediate-level segment.
