The global medical washer disinfector market size is expected to reach USD 2,862.27 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.11% from 2025 to 2030, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for technologically advanced medical washers among end-users. In September 2020, Labconco launched its advanced SteamScrubber and FlaskScrubber glassware washers with the CleanWorks operating system. These devices have the capacity to handle over 5,000 types of configurations of glassware and laboratory utensils. Such launches are poised to propel the demand for medical washer disinfectors globally, driving market growth.
Similarly, in April 2020, Miele introduced six new next-generation glassware washer models for the North American market with the ability to provide maximum reliability, flexibility, consistency, and cleanliness to meet the stringent sanitary and safety needs of productive laboratories. Thus, with the rise in demand for medical washer disinfectors, the market is anticipated to grow at a healthy pace over the forecast period.
Moreover, several global market players are acquiring local companies to strengthen their market position. This strategy enables companies to increase their capabilities, improve their competencies, and expand their product portfolios. For instance, in January 2021, STERIS plc announced an agreement to acquire Cantel via a U.S. subsidiary. Cantel is a key provider of infection-prevention products and services, especially for dental customers and endoscopy. This acquisition has helped strengthen STERIS’s position in the medical washer segment, thereby driving market growth.
