Global Surgical Waste Management Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global surgical waste management market

According to the surgical waste management market insights, Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global surgical waste management market to grow steadily at a CAGR of around 6% by 2021. One of the primary drivers for this market is the exponential growth of technological advancements in surgical waste management devices. There has been a growing focus toward revamping conventional surgical waste management equipment with automation and robot-assisted technology. Technological advancements have increased the efficiency and safety of devices, thereby preventing cross-contamination. This has transformed waste management from a manual process to an automated process. For instance, Celitron's Integrated Sterilizer is a cost-effective automated compact device that does not emit any harmful substances into the environment. It is equipped with automated lock integration, which does not allow unauthorized interruption during the process. These advancements in the surgical waste management devices are expected to propel the growth of the surgical waste management market value during the forecast period.

In terms of geography, the Americas accounted for the maximum market share during 2016 and will continue to dominate the market for the next few years. The market in the region is driven by the annual increase in the number of surgeries due to various factors such as aging population, lifestyle changes, sports-related injuries, and accidents. Also, government organizations such as the CDC, the EPA, and the OSHA strive to increase awareness about the importance of surgical waste management. This has created a positive impact, and many hospitals and ASCs are purchasing waste management equipment or availing the services of surgical waste management vendors. This, in turn, is expected to augment growth in the global surgical waste management market in the coming years.
