The bio decontamination market is estimated to be valued at US$ 178.3 Mn or Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 18.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Bio decontamination refers to sterilization and disinfection processes that neutralize or remove biological contaminants from enclosed facilities, rooms, or chambers using gaseous decontaminants, vaporous hydrogen peroxide. It helps eliminate harmful pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and spores. Key end users of bio decontamination include life sciences industry, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical companies etc.
Market Dynamics:
Rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and growing healthcare regulations regarding decontamination of facilities are the primary factors driving growth of the global bio decontamination market. Additionally, increasing outsourcing of bio decontamination services to specialized companies is also expected to boost demand over the forecast period. Furthermore, technological advancements leading to development of improved and efficient bio decontamination systems are further expected to support market growth. However, high installation and maintenance costs of bio decontamination systems may hamper market growth.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: The bio decontamination market is driven by three main strengths – its ability to inactivate microorganisms quickly, ensure safety of people and environments, and reduce sterilization time.
Weakness: Two main weaknesses are its high capital investment requirements and operational costs of equipment maintenance. Performing decontamination also requires halting production lines.
Opportunity: Growth in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries relying on clean rooms presents an opportunity. Rapid response decontamination services after biohazards also offer opportunities.
Threats: Stringent regulations raise compliance costs which threaten smaller players. New contamination threats pose challenges for technologies to address effectively in short timeframes.
Key Takeaways
The Global Bio Decontamination Market Growth is expected to witness high, exhibiting a CAGR of 18% over the forecast period, due to increasing safety concerns in the healthcare industry.
