Disinfection and sterilization form essential methods for controlling infection. Sterilization can be done by the application of four different technologies namely, heat sterilization, filtration sterilization, low temperature sterilization and radiation sterilization. Among all, heat sterilization accounts for the largest share to total sterilization market owing to the presence of large consumer base. It is popular amongst hospitals and diagnostic centers that also propel the demand for heat sterilization. However, low temperature sterilization is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the fact that efficiency provided by low temperature sterilization process is precise that increases infection control, and in turn increases the demand. Low temperature sterilization can be further segmented as: ethylene oxide sterilization, hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization and vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization.

Infection control can also be performed by the application of various disinfectants on medical instrument (surgical and diagnostic). Various disinfectants that are utilized widely for infection control include alcohol, formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, phenolic compounds, quaternary ammonium compound, chlorine dioxide and chlorite. Among all these, hydrogen peroxide and quaternary ammonium compound accounts for the...
