Bio Decontamination Market

Bio Decontamination Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global bio-decontamination market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2023 to 2028 and the market size is expected to grow from USD 137.2 million in 2023 to USD 184.5 million by 2028.

The bio-decontamination involves neutralizing and eliminating infectious microbes, chemical agents, and radioactive elements. The three standard techniques used to perform the bio-decontamination function are biological, chemical, and physical. Thermal and high-pressure methods are involved while serving the bio-decontamination process physically. At the same time, the neutralization of oxidizing agents and utilization of enzyme systems and artificial bacteria are involved in chemical and biological bio-decomposition, respectively. 

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing prevalence of virus and bacterial infections boosts the bio-decontamination market growth.

In many developing and developed countries, the outsourcing of the bio-decontamination market is also famous for increasing the efficiency of the process. In addition, the ability to reduce the adverse effect of microorganisms is another benefit associated with the bio-decomposition market.

The cost-effective nature and ability to perform viral decontaminating products with bacteria or fungi involved in the biological decontamination process make it preferable to other conventional methods. Growing developments and research activities in the bio-decontamination sector also diverge into industry developments, which leads to the entry of more potential players in the market. The rise in the number of surgeries and treatment of toxic by-products released by microorganisms is expected to drive the market's growth. In addition, the rising demand for equipment due to the increasing need for minimal manual use is expected to drive the development of the bio-decontamination market further. 

On the other hand, the stringent rules and regulations imposed by the government and other regulatory bodies on using traditional methods made up of plastics and increasing public awareness of their adverse effects are driving market growth. In addition, the increasing influx of advanced fumigation systems presents other potential opportunities for the growth of the bio-decontamination market in the coming years. Furthermore, increasing rates of hospital-acquired infections, the development of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, and increased outsourcing of bio-decontamination facilities are driving the market's overall growth.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The budgetary constraints in the bio-decomposition market and the advent of manual bio-decontamination methods impede the market's growth. The installation of decomposition devices and machines requires significant capital, which is impossible for small and medium companies, restraining market growth. The long-life cycle of bio-decontamination equipment can also limit the market growth as they got obsolete with the changing time and technology. Another major challenge in the bio-decomposition market is the lack of infrastructure for effective composting. Before starting the process, the interior must be completely sealed to prevent formaldehyde vapor from escaping to other areas. 

REPORT COVERAGE:

This research report on the global bio-decontamination market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on type, agent type, product, end-users, and region.

Bio decontamination Market – By Type:

• Room bio-decontamination
• Chamber bio-decontamination

Based on the product type, the chamber bio-decontamination segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022 and is expected to show the highest growth during the forecast period. This is due to its low power consumption, small footprint, high adaptability, and economical decontamination of the chamber. In addition, the low cost involved in the process also boosts the demand for the chamber bio-decontamination product. This is mainly due to the small equipment and small floor space.

Bio decontamination Market - By Agent Type:

• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Nitrogen Dioxide
• Chlorine Dioxide

Over the forecast period, the hydrogen peroxide segment had the largest share of the bio-decontamination market in 2022 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2027. The compatibility and safety of the material are the main factors contributing to its advantage in the bio-decontamination market.

Bio decontamination Market – By Product Type:

• Equipment
• Consumables
• Services

The equipment segment recorded a rapid share over the forecast period. However, services are the fastest-growing segment due to the lower cost of services and the lower capital expenditures required than purchasing equipment and consumables.

Bio decontamination Market – By End User:

• Pharmaceutical & medical device manufacturing companies
• Hospitals & healthcare facilities
• Life sciences & biotechnology research organizations.

Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers' market penetration of bio-decontamination will increase significantly. Strict regulations are being enforced due to the increasing incorporation of bio-decontamination products and services into these facilities. Bio pharmacy companies also have a growing need for a hygienic and sterile environment. The influx of technologically advanced products and easy access to the fleet of decontamination equipment promotes market dynamics.

Bio decontamination Market – By Region:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia-Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

Due to strict medical safety laws, advanced healthcare infrastructure, and favorable reimbursement policies, North America dominates the bio-decontamination market.  In addition, the increased implementation of awareness campaigns related to the benefits and needs of bio-decontamination will further drive the growth of the regional bio-decontamination market over the forecast period. The United States accounted for the majority share of the market during the forecast period. Healthcare spending, technological advancements in the healthcare sectors, and the presence of key market players.

Europe is likely to be the second-largest market for the Bio decontamination market. The evolving healthcare sector and the regional market players such as Germany, the UK, France, Spain, and Italy significantly contribute to the European regional market growth. However, the UK is projected to witness significant growth in the market in the coming period. The European Commission's ban on plastics is expected to boost the development of the packaging sector during the investigation and use of biodegradable products in the medical industry. Drug encapsulation and medical surgery are becoming more common in the given region.

The Asia Pacific region has also shown significant growth in the bio-decontamination market due to increased government support for healthcare infrastructure. In addition, the rise in the number of hospitals and clinics is expected to further drive the growth of the regional bio-decontamination market in the coming years. In the Asia Pacific region, government initiatives to increase the number of hospitals and clinics, increase population and improve medical infrastructure are other factors boosting the growth. In addition, APAC is also the world's largest exporter of pharmaceuticals, emphasizing the need to ensure the high quality of drugs for export and provide market participants with the opportunity to enter these markets.
