Market Overview:
The global spore strips biological indicator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for sterilization methods across various industries and the growing awareness about food safety and hygiene. Based on type, the global spore strips biological indicator market is segmented into ethylene oxide and dry heat sterilization, steam sterilization, and others. The ethylene oxide and dry heat sterilization segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global spore strips biological indicator market in 2018. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to its ability to kill all types of spores including vegetative cells with high efficiency.
Product Definition:
A spore strip is a piece of paper or other material that has been impregnated with spores of a bacterium, often used as a biological indicator to test the effectiveness of sterilization procedures.
Ethylene Oxide and Dry Heat Sterilization:
Ethylene oxide is a chemical compound, which is also known as oxirane. It has a triple bond between carbon & oxygen with light yellow color. Ethylene oxide can be produced by both natural gas and petroleum processes. The major application of ethylene oxide is in the production of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), which further used for producing paints, adhesives, solvents, resins and other products such as personal care products and pharmaceuticals among others.
Steam Sterilization:
Biological indicators are used to monitor the effect of sterilization on a wide range of products including surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and biological samples. Steam sterilization is one such method that is widely used in the industry. It's basic principle involves using steam at a temperature above 100oC for 10-15 minutes to kill all forms of life except for microorganisms.
It works by destroying most parts of bacteria and viruses so they cannot reproduce leading to their death.
Application Insights:
The clinical laboratories segment dominated the global market in terms of revenue in 2017. This is attributed to a rising number of government-approved testing programs that require biological indicator strips for various conditions, such as HIV, hepatitis A & B, syphilis, and tuberculosis. Hospitals are projected to be the fastest-growing application segment over the forecast period owing to an increasing number of hospitals and healthcare centers across developing countries.
Pharmaceuticals were another major application segment accounting for 21% share in 2017 due largely to their sterilization process being adopted globally as a standard method of packaging drugs and other medical devices. The pharmaceutical industry has been growing significantly over recent years owing mainly to this process not only sterilizing but also maintaining products free from contamination during transportation or storage at any given time until use by consumers or patients at final destination facilities (last mile delivery).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the rising prevalence of hospital-associated infections, increasing demand for sterilization techniques, and government initiatives favoring product penetration. Europe is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to an increase in R&D investments by pharmaceutical companies and a rise in healthcare expenditure.
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a lucrative rate during the forecast period due to factors such as economic development and high population density resulting into increased healthcare spending by countries such as India and China.
The key players operating within Asia Pacific include 3M; Asahi Glass Co., Ltd.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for food safety and quality: The global population is growing at a rapid pace and the demand for safe, nutritious, and high-quality food is increasing correspondingly. This is driving the need for reliable food testing methods, including Spore Strips Biological Indicator market.
- Growing awareness of foodborne illnesses: Foodborne illnesses are a major public health concern around the world. They can cause serious illness or death in people of all ages. This has led to an increased awareness of the importance of food safety and has driven the growth of the Spore Strips Biological Indicator market over the past few years.
- Technological advancements: The development of new technologies has helped to improve detection accuracy and speed up results for Spore Strips Biological Indicators tests, making them more reliable than ever before. This is helping to drive their adoption in various industries worldwide.
