Market Drivers and Key Challenges
The global market for sterilant has experienced a lucrative growth pattern in the past decade, with MRFR predicting the market to grow at a significant rate even in the coming years owing to the surge in product demand. The chief reason for the healthy growth of the sterilant market is the increasing demand for its parent market peroxyacetic acid across a number of industries across the globe.
The major uses of sterilant include preventing the risk of contamination across the application industries like pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, spacecraft, and medical. Also, the prominent companies within the global sterilant market are striving to find a wide range of applications for the product, with great success. This factor has helmed the growth of the market, with a hike in the revenues at a global level.
Some of the majorly utilized sterilant include hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid. The primary reason for the wide acceptance of hydrogen peroxide as a sterilant lies in its excellent oxidizing ability, rendering it a vital aspect of sterilizing operations. Apart from this, in the upcoming years, numerous initiatives by various government bodies around the world are aiming to raise the uptake of important sterilization standards in hospitals as well as ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs). This factor is anticipated to present growth opportunities in abundance for the sterilant market in the near future.
