Japan Medical Device Cleaning Market To Reach $1,169.49 Million By 2030

Japan Medical Device Cleaning Market Growth & Trends

The Japan medical device cleaning market size is anticipated to reach USD 1,169.49 million by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.83% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This growth can be attributed to the increasing competition among the market players and the growing efforts to reduce hospital-acquired infections.

Several studies are being published focusing on the increasing number of infections acquired in hospitals and the measures that can prevent them. For instance, a study published by the National Library of Medicine in May 2020 found  that nosocomial infections, also known as healthcare-acquired infections, are a significant burden on hospitalized patients in Japan. This study analyzed the Japanese claims database and found that out of 73,962,409 inpatients registered in the database, 9.7% had community-acquired infections (CAI), and 4.7% had nosocomial infections (NI). As a result, the growing burden of hospital-acquired infections is expected to increase the demand for medical device cleaning products in Japan.

Moreover, the growing use of single-use devices and the rising manufacturing of medical devices are anticipated to propel the Japanese medical device cleaning market. Industry stakeholders are focusing on increasing the development of medical devices in the country. For instance, in May 2023, Terumo Corporation, a medical device company, invested around USD 360 million to construct a new manufacturing facility for the Medical Care Solutions Company in Japan.

In addition, in January 2022, Kaneka Corporation invested around USD 69 million to build a new medical device plant in the Tomatoh Industrial Area in the northern area of Japan. Companies are expanding their manufacturing facilities. These expanding manufacturing facilities will require medical device cleaning solutions for sterilization, reprocessing, and cleaning in the future. Thus, the rise in investments in medical device manufacturing and development in Japan is projected to increase the demand for medical device cleaning products in the coming years.
