The market for mobile sterile units expanded at a CAGR of 3.7% during the historic period (2017 to 2022) and reached a market value of USD 214.6 Million in 2022, up from USD 178.6 Million in 2017.
Mobile sterile units contributes 6.3% value share to the global sterilization services market valued at USD 3.4 Billion in 2022.
Over the past several years, there have been an increasing number of surgical procedures that require sterilization of implants and instruments prior to and after the surgery. In hospitals, cross-contamination arises when harmful pathogens, usually viruses and bacteria are transmitted. Between people or between equipment, infections can spread. By routinely sterilizing the surfaces and equipment in hospitals and clinics, this cross-infection can be prevented.
The utilization of sterile tools has changed since the pandemic's emergence. The hospitals may outsource and deploy mobile sterile units in order to reduce the operating costs of an internal CSSD (central sterile services department) department, which would result in market expansion. The demand for sterilization tools and procedures grows along with the number of surgeries.
One of the main factors influencing the demand for mobile sterile units is faulty sterilizer, operator errors (such as inaccurate packaging, loading, or cycle selection methods), and inadequate steam quality, among other things. Cross-contamination is more likely if reusable medical equipment isn't properly sterilized or disinfected. This is where mobile sterile units are useful for meeting the need for sterile supplies. Market growth is expected as a result of this.
The global market is predicted to expand 1.7X its current size by the end of 2033.

Lack of skilled personnel who can carry out sterilizing treatments is expected to restrain the growth of the mobile sterile unit market during the forecast period, particularly in emerging economies. Any mistake made during the sterilization process could pose unanticipated risks.
Because of this, there is a greater need for qualified specialists to carry out the sterilizing procedures efficiently. However, the market for mobile sterile units is predicted to see revenue growth challenges throughout the projected period due to a scarcity of skilled personnel.
Mobile sterile units require equipment that are pricey in nature. The mobile sterile unit's overall cost increases because of such equipment's expensive nature. Therefore, even when a mobile sterile unit is required, smaller institutions sometimes cannot afford to buy such machinery. The market's expected expansion may be constrained by the high price within that time frame.
The providers of mobile sterile units can be benefitted by raising awareness of these units particularly in untapped market. Mobile sterile units are not commonly used in hospitals in underdeveloped regions and low-income countries. The underserved market may receive more attention if it is served by major players. By collaborating with governing bodies, this can be done, providing enormous potential for developing nations.
The increased frequency of HAIs (hospital acquired infections) brought on by poor sanitation and preventive measures in hospitals is one of the key factors anticipated to propel market expansion over the forecast period.
According to CDC data from 2018, over 1.7 million HAI instances and 99,000 deaths associated with them are documented each year in American hospitals. The European CDC found that the incidence of HAIs in European countries in 2018 was about 7.1%. It also mentioned that more than 4,131,000 patients in Europe suffer HAIs on a yearly basis. Since they will reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination between patients and surgical tools/equipment, these scenarios are boosting the necessity for mobile sterile units.
As the prevalence of chronic conditions has risen, so has the rate of hospital admissions. Blankets, antiseptic liquids, and surgical supplies are a few of the things that clinics and hospitals demand. Therefore, mobile sterile units are a good option in these circumstances since they improve patient care while reducing the risk of infection spread among patients. Consequently, it is predicted that the market will profit from the increased prevalence of chronic conditions during the course of the forecast period.

Steam sterilizers are expected to hold a market share of 49.5% in 2023. Gravity displacement autoclaves and pre-vacuum sterilizers make up steam sterilizers. The most fundamental kind of autoclaves are these steam sterilizers, which are very simple to use. These are set up in hospitals, clinics, research facilities, and laboratories to decontaminate biological waste and sterilize glassware and media.
Boilers powered by fuel or electricity often provide this, but in rural regions, particularly in developing nations, both fuel and power can be expensive or unreliable. In order to keep safe, and provide sterile equipment at a reasonable cost in remote regions, researchers at MIT and the IIT came up with a method to generate the steam needed by sterilizers using just the energy of sunshine in November 2020.
In Mumbai, India, this prototype underwent successful testing. The market is expanding as a result of the availability of different small and large autoclave sterilizers.
Leading providers of mobile sterile units are concentrating on geographic expansion to boost revenue and increase their sales footprint in emerging economies through the acquisition of local market players. The main strategies used by providers to boost product sales across geographies include strategic partnerships, mergers & acquisitions and agreements with distributors.
