Overview of the global bench-top autoclave market
Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global bench-top autoclave market will grow steadily at a CAGR of close to 7% by 2021. Owing to the difference in capacity requirement of various applications such as research laboratories, dental clinics, and tattoo studios, there is an increased demand for personalized products to ensure effective sterilization. For instance, modern dental clinics require 316L stainless steel chamber and 19.8L chamber volume with high speed and fast cycle-time. This will induce vendors to manufacture customized products based on the requirements of end-users. According to this market research analysis, this customization of products will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the bench-top autoclave market.
Owing to the advancements in technology, bench-top autoclaves are now smarter, more flexible, and can work ideally with minimal human input. With the advent of technological advancements, vendors are developing autoclaves that enable the addition of features depending on end-user preferences and are also trying to manufacture integrated autoclaves that are compatible with other devices. Smarter bench-top autoclaves not only reduces the functioning complexity but will also allow accurate monitoring and increased efficiency. This will in turn increase their demand, which will subsequently fuel the market's growth prospects. Additionally, features such as predictive maintenance and easy troubleshooting to improve the yield and prolong the life of the equipment will also drive the market? growth.
