Veterinary Sterilization Container Market To Reach $109.7 Million By 2030

Veterinary Sterilization Container Market Growth & Trends

The global veterinary sterilization container market size is anticipated to reach USD 109.7 million by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The drivers of the market growth include increasing awareness of infection control in veterinary surgeries and the rise in surgical procedures for pets. These containers provide a reliable method for maintaining instrument sterility, reducing the risk of contamination, and improving surgical outcomes. In addition, stricter regulations and guidelines for sterilization practices are driving veterinary clinics to adopt more efficient and durable sterilization solutions. For example, with the rise in complex surgeries for pets, especially in orthopedic and oncology procedures, there is a greater need for reliable sterilization methods. Clinics are also adopting sterilization containers to ensure compliance with stricter regulations on sterilization and hygiene, boosting overall demand.

Furthermore, the prevalence of osteoarthritis and cruciate ligament injuries in animals is increasing due to obesity & other lifestyle conditions, which is boosting demand for veterinary surgeries and the need for veterinary sterilization containers to sterilize surgical instruments. Moreover, the rising amount of osteoarthritis among canines is anticipated to fuel market growth. For instance, in 2022, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a veterinarian confirmed the diagnosis of osteoarthritis in 38% (188 of 500) of dogs. Hence, obesity and the prevalence of osteoarthritis are resulting in orthopedic problems, which, in turn, increases the number of surgical procedures, thus driving the need for various surgical instruments such as sterilization containers.

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a significant concern in veterinary facilities, affecting many patients. According to studies published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science in January 2023, the prevalence of HAIs in veterinary facilities ranges from 2.8% to 16% of patients, with some studies reporting even higher rates. Thus, there is an increasing need for infection control in veterinary settings, where HAIs are rising due to multidrug-resistant pathogens. Sterilization containers, especially those made of durable materials like aluminum and perforated designs, provide superior sterility, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. The demand for these containers is further supported by their role in ensuring compliance with stricter regulations and the growing focus on reducing zoonotic disease transmission between animals and humans.

Veterinary Sterilization Container Market Report Highlights

• Ongoing advancements in veterinary medicine and surgery drive the demand for specialized surgical instruments to prevent hospital-acquired infections in animals during surgery. Innovations in sterilization techniques and procedures often require new and more sophisticated instruments, leading to market growth.

• Based on product, the sterilization containers segment dominated the market in 2023 and is estimated to witness the fastest CAGR of 5.8% in the coming years due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and superior infection control. Unlike single-use wraps, these containers are reusable, reducing long-term costs and waste. They provide a secure, standardized method for sterilizing and storing surgical instruments, ensuring consistent hygiene. As veterinary clinics handle more complex surgeries, the need for reliable sterilization increases, making containers a preferred choice over accessories like pouches or wraps, which may not offer the same level of protection or efficiency. On the other hand, the accessories segment is projected to witness steady growth during the forecast period.

• In terms of material, the aluminum segment dominated the market with a share of over 46% in 2023, owing to its lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant properties. Aluminum containers offer superior heat conductivity, ensuring thorough sterilization of surgical instruments. Whereas the other material segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate of 6.6% in the coming years.

• Based on end-use, the veterinary hospitals & clinics segment dominated the market in 2023 due to the rising demand for specialized surgeries, including orthopedic procedures, dental surgeries, and advanced soft tissue surgeries, which require specialized containers for sterilization of instruments. On the other hand, the laboratories segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate of 6.3% in the coming years.

• Based on type, the perforated segment held the largest market share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period due to the superior airflow and steam penetration, ensuring more effective sterilization of instruments. These containers allow better drying post-sterilization, reducing the risk of moisture-related contamination. Veterinary practices prefer perforated containers for their ability to maintain sterility while providing efficient sterilization cycles, making them ideal for handling high volumes of instruments in busy clinics. Their design also enhances drying times, further improving operational efficiency in sterilization processes.

• In 2023, North America held the highest share of 45.73% of the market by region. The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the fastest rate of 6.79% in the coming years.
