The bio-decontamination market was valued at $229.5 million in 2023, and is projected to reach $525.4 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2024 to 2033.
Bio-decontamination is a process that involves the elimination of microbiological contamination to an acceptable level from a specific environment or surface. To efficiently inhibit the growth of microorganisms, chemical disinfectants, physical methods, or other sterilization technologies are used, ensuring that the treated environment is free from potential biological threats. For instance, vaporized hydrogen peroxide is a widely used ecological bio-decontamination agent that decomposes into water and oxygen, leaving no residue. Thus, this process plays a critical role in industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and food production, where maintaining a sterile environment is essential to ensure safety.
Alarming increase in prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in hospitals and healthcare facilities acts as the key driving forces of the global bio-decontamination market, as ensuring patient safety and reducing infection rates in these settings is of utmost importance. As per a news release by the World Health Organization in 2022, 1 in every 10 affected patients will die from HAIs. Based on the assessment of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, more than 3.5 million cases of HAIs are estimated to be reported in the European Union and European Economic Area, annually. A study by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion further states that more than than 680,000 HAIs are reported each year in the U.S. The growth of the global bio-decontamination market is further driven by expansion of pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, with a focus on maintaining sterile environments for research and production as well as increase in awareness about the importance of infection control and prevention in both clinical and non-clinical settings. Moreover, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the focus on bio-decontamination as part of emergency preparedness, leading to increased investments and the adoption of robust decontamination protocols across various industries, which significantly contribute toward the growth of the market. Rise in environmental concerns is further fostering the adoption of sustainable bio-decontamination methods. For instance, solutions such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and UV-C light are gaining high traction due to their minimal environmental impact and reduced chemical residues. However, high cost associated with bio-decontamination equipment and services, lack of awareness about the importance of bio-decontamination, and limited expertise in implementing effective decontamination protocols hamper the market growth. On the contrary, innovations in bio-decontamination technologies, such as automated systems, safer and more effective disinfectants, and advanced monitoring tools, are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period. Expansion of healthcare facilities in emerging markets is creating additional demand for bio-decontamination solutions to maintain hygiene standards, which is anticipated to open new avenues for the growth of the global market.
The bio-decontamination market is segmented into product, agent, type, end user, and region. By product, the market is divided into equipment and consumables. On the basis of agent, it is segregated into hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide,and nitrogen dioxide. Depending on type, it is fragmented into chamber decontamination and room decontamination. As per end user, it is segregated into pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies and healthcare facilities. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
On the basis of agent, the hydrogen peroxide segment was the major shareholder in 2023.
Depending on type, chamber decontamination emerged as the leading segment in 2023.
As per end user, the pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment garnered the maximum share in 2023.
Region wise, North America held a dominant position in the market in 2023.
