North America maintained its leadership position in the medical device cleaning market with a share of more than 33.52%, in 2023. The reason for the higher market share in the regional market is believed to be owing to the consistent application of strategic alliances by the prominent market players for widening the product portfolios and improving the infection control capabilities. Attractive reimbursement policies and strict government regulations on cleaning and disinfecting medical equipment are expected to propel the regional market. Some of the primary drivers responsible for the rising utilization of sterile procedures include the increasing use of non-disposable medical equipment and the need to minimize costs of hospital-acquired infections. 

Asia Pacific is predicted to face the highest growth rates in the medical device cleaning market within the forecast period. There are several big drivers for this kind of growth, including an outstanding presence of outsourcing services that drive operational efficiencies and cost savings within health facilities. An increase in healthcare spending across the countries within the region directly facilitates investments in more advanced cleaning technologies and practices. There has been a sudden increase in sensitivities toward infection prevention practices following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has driven up the market even further. In addition, both governmental and non-governmental parties have been emphasizing better infection control practices, thus creating benchmark standards and infrastructure in healthcare sectors that foster the growth of the overall market.
