Bio Decontamination Market Set to Boom: Strategic Insights and Growth Opportunities with Key Players; Cherwell Laboratories, Fedegari Autoclavi S.p.A., JCE Biotechnology

The global bio-decontamination market is projected to expand at approximately 6% by 2026. Growth is being driven by a rising volume of surgical procedures, increasing rates of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), the worldwide expansion of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, greater demand for bio-decontamination to prevent bacterial and viral infections, a higher level of outsourcing for related services, and the adoption of stricter medical hygiene regulations.

Bio-decontamination refers to the removal or reduction of microbiological contamination to a safe, acceptable level. It involves a combination of cleaning, disinfection, and/or sterilization processes used to ensure that reusable medical devices (e.g., surgical instruments) are safe for subsequent use. All infectious materials and contaminated equipment must be decontaminated before being washed, stored, or discarded. Regular bio-decontamination is essential across multiple environments—including healthcare facilities, research institutes, pharmaceutical and biotech sites, and cleanrooms—to maintain best-practice hygiene and safety standards.

Increasing Use of Bio-decontamination for Infection Prevention Is Driving Market Growth

Bacteria and microorganisms exist in virtually every environment, with some pathogenic species posing significant risks to human health. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) affect approximately one in every 25 hospitalized patients. To curb the transmission of harmful microorganisms, facilities increasingly rely on cleaning, bio-decontamination, and other hygiene control measures. In laboratories, cleanrooms, and sterile environments, room decontamination is considered one of the most effective methods for reducing disease transmission risks.

Market growth is also fueled by the introduction of advanced bio-decontamination technologies and products aimed at improving infection prevention.

Examples include:

  • September 2021: STERIS launched the next generation of integrated Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) systems—VHP 100i and 1000i—designed to integrate with building automation and HVAC systems and operate decontamination cycles automatically or on demand.
  • August 2021: TOMI Environmental Solutions Inc. introduced SteraPak, powered by iHP technology, offering a high-performance, cost-effective alternative to electrostatic sprayers that have faced safety-related recalls.

A leading U.S.-based chief researcher noted:
“Growing usage of advanced technologies is expected to drive the market. For instance, modern technologies such as ultraviolet light, ionization products, hydrogen peroxide vapor, and room decontamination methods have been very effective in reducing bacterial contamination.”

Impact of COVID-19 on the Bio-decontamination Market

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased global demand for bio-decontamination solutions across hospitals, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, and life sciences and biotechnology research organizations. Temporary treatment facilities and high-touch surfaces such as beds, medical devices, and equipment required frequent decontamination to reduce HAIs. Additionally, bio-decontamination services played a critical role in converting COVID-19 wards back to standard-use facilities, further amplifying market demand during the pandemic.
