The market for sterilization services is growing due to several factors, including the rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), increasing surgical procedure volumes, heightened focus on food sterilization to combat foodborne illnesses, and the growing trend of outsourcing sterilization to specialized contract service providers. Additionally, stricter regulatory requirements for sterile packaging in the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors are further fueling market demand.

By method, the electron-beam (E-beam) radiation sterilization segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024.

The sterilization services market has been segmented into ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization, gamma sterilization, electron-beam (E-beam) radiation sterilization, X-ray irradiation sterilization, steam sterilization, hydrogen peroxide sterilization, and other methods. In 2024, the ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilization segment accounted for the largest share of the sterilization services market. The large share of the ethylene oxide sterilization segment is attributed to the growing demand for single-use medical devices and instruments, innovations in ETO sterilization equipment and processes, and compatibility with heat- and moisture-sensitive materials.

By mode of delivery, the hospitals & clinics segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024.

Based on the mode of delivery, the sterilization services market has been segmented into off-site and on-site sterilization services. In 2024, the off-site sterilization services segment accounted for a larger share of the sterilization services market. This is because in the off-site sterilization process, after instruments are used, they are transported off-site to a centralized location where sterile processing department (SPD) professionals (either employed by the health system or a third-party service supplier) reprocess them and then send them back to their respective facilities. The limited availability of space in in-house sterile processing departments, enhanced efficiency of contract sterilization processes over in-house sterilization, access to new sterilization technology, higher output with lesser financial risks, and cost-reduction benefits are the key factors supporting the growth of the off-site sterilization services segment.

By region, North America accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024.

The sterilization services market is segmented into six major regional segments: North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East & Africa, and GCC. In 2024, North America commanded the largest share of the global sterilization services market, followed by Europe. The large share of the North American market can be attributed to the growing demand for sterilization technologies from the healthcare industry to minimize the occurrence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the consequent rise in the demand for healthcare services. Market growth in this region is characterized by the growing demand for and adoption of sterilization services because of the rising focus on healthy lifestyles and disease prevention among consumers. The subsequent increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, the need for infection control to minimize the prevalence of HAIs, and the implementation of favorable government initiatives and stringent regulations on sterilization and disinfection also propel the growth of the market in the region.
