Rising Prevalence of Nosocomial Infections and Increased Number of Surgeries to Drive Adoption of Steam Autoclave Systems Globally, states TMR The global steam autoclaves market is marked by intense competitive rivalry and high entry barriers for new vendors, typical of markets featuring high consolidation, reports a recent study by Transparency Market Research (TMR). The oligopolistic market witnesses the dominance of companies such as STERIS, Getinge Group, and Johnson & Johnson, which collectively held close to two-third of the overall market in 2015. The presence of a very small number of product manufacturers, preference of buyers for longterm contracts with steam autoclave devices manufacturers, and broad product portfolios have further reinforced the standing of leading vendors in the market. Product innovations, production of economic products, and strategies aimed at expansion in emerging regional markets could aid small vendors in the market carve out new growth channels in the near future. Other notable vendors operating amid intense competition in the global steam autoclave market are 3M Health Care, Belimed Group, CISA Group, Matachana Group, CISA Group, and SAKURA SI CO., LTD

Rising Number of Surgeries and Hospital-acquired Infections Stimulate Adoption of Steam Autoclaves in Healthcare Settings The vast increase in the number of surgical procedures undertaken across the globe every year has played a major role in the increased consumption of steam autoclaves globally in the past few years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that in U.S. alone, nearly 46.5 mn surgeries and around 5 mn endoscopies are performed every year. In other regions as well, such as the developing parts of Asia Pacific, which are marked by large population bases and flourishing medical tourism industries, a massive rise in the number of surgical procedures has been seen in the past few years. Compounding the need for effective sterilization mechanisms in healthcare settings in addition to abovementioned factor is the concern regarding rising prevalence of nosocomial infections across the globe. These factors, in addition to the rising focus on patient safety, will allow the global steam autoclave market gain traction in the next few years.
