Global Automated Medical Washer Disinfector Market Grows at a Steady CAGR of 6.61%

Introduction

Straits Research released its highly anticipated report, “Automated Medical Washer Disinfector Market Size & Outlook, 2026-2034.” According to Straits Research, the global automated medical washer disinfector market size is valued at USD 1.33 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 2.37 billion by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.61%.

Market Dynamics

The market growth is primarily attributed to the increasing demand for infection control and sterilization in healthcare facilities, driven by the rising number of surgical procedures, stringent regulatory standards for hygiene, and the adoption of advanced automated washer disinfector technologies. In addition, rising healthcare expenditure and increasing investment in medical infrastructure are key drivers of the global automated medical washer disinfector market. Countries such as South Korea, Australia, Malaysia, Germany, France, and India are significantly investing in upgrading healthcare facilities and improving the quality of patient care. This increased focus on modernizing hospitals and surgical centers is boosting the adoption of automated washer disinfectors, which are essential for efficient sterilization and infection control of medical instruments. Moreover, the growing awareness of infection control practices is a significant market opportunity, which enhances the demand for automated washers and disinfectors. For instance, in November 2023, WHO carried out multi-level global survey on minimum requirements for Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) at the national and health care facility levels, which further enhances the demand for infection control practices across healthcare facilities.
