The global benchtop autoclave market size was USD 219.7 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 343.4 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2022 to 2031.

Benchtop autoclaves are compact laboratory sterilizers designed to carry out typical sterilizing operations while conserving important lab space. They employ hot, high pressure steam to sterilize a variety of liquids, media, instruments, glassware, plasticware, and other regularly used lab materials. These compact autoclaves offer a surprisingly large sterilizing chamber. All of the user's modest sterilization needs can be met by these safe, useful tabletop autoclaves. They have an inside door lock for safety.

Due to the rising incidence of dental illnesses, the rise in research labs, and the rising popularity of tattoos, it is predicted that the benchtop sector would expand significantly over the coming years. Additionally, it is anticipated that rising sterilization awareness will help the industry. Additionally, a government that supports sterilization techniques is anticipated to have a positive effect on market expansion.

COVID-19 Impact: Rise in Hospitalizations during the Pandemic led to Increase in Demand for Autoclaves

Hospitalizations have increased in recent years as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The requirement for benchtop autoclaves increased as a result of the necessity for hospitals to perform more sterilization procedures due to the rising number of hospitalizations. This made it possible for the market's producers to continue operating and to experience steady growth in both customer demand and sales of their goods even as the epidemic was in full swing.

Driving Factors

"Technical Improvements Offered by the Sterilizers find their Uses in Various Practices which helps in Expanding the Market"

Vendors have created sophisticated sterilizers with higher efficiency as a result of the growing significance of sterilizing. Instruments need to be sterilized for at least three hours in autoclaves. Recent autoclave launches, however, only require 90 minutes to finish the sterilization process. Benchtop manufacturers have shortened the sterilizing cycle, which is fueling market expansion. Benchtop autoclaves have also received a number of new features, including quick cooling, optional drying, and sewage disposal. For the sterilization of liquids, culture media, tools, glassware, plastics, pipette tips, biological waste, contaminated media, and other laboratory supplies, they offer a one-stop shop. Therefore, the market for benchtop is expanding as a result of technical improvements.

"Customization of the Benchtop to Suit the Requirement of Customers Promotes the Broadening of this Sector"

Benchtop autoclaves are employed in a variety of settings, such as dental offices, tattoo parlors, and research labs. The size and capacity requirements for these applications vary. Each individual customer requires products that are specially created for them in order to accomplish effective sterilization. A variety of designs are available fo autoclaves. For instance, modern dental clinics require 316L stainless steel chambers with a 19.8L chamber volume, high speed, and fast cycle-time. As a result, suppliers are making products that are especially suited to customers' requirements.

Restraining Factors

"Varying Cost of Equipment may Limit the Growth of this Market"

One of the factors limiting the benchtop autoclave market growth is the high price. The initial cost of installing these autoclaves is substantial, which major practices can afford with ease, but small and medium practices can find it a little challenging to invest this money in this equipment. As a result, the cost of the equipment may differ considerably on the functions that the autoclave offers. The market's expansion is therefore anticipated to be hampered by this problem.

"Rising Frequency of Oral Problems and Introduction of the Act will aid North America to Lead in the Market"

In 2019 and according to forecasts, North America will continue to have the greatest benchtop autoclave market share. The key factor driving the market growth is the rising frequency of oral problems, especially in older persons. In addition, the Dental Reform Act's introduction in 2012 helped benchtop gain popularity in the United States. Data from the CDC show that in the United States, more than 17.5% of those in the 5 to 19 age range had received dental carriers.

Due to the rising number of patients with hospital acquired infections (HAI), which is one of the key reasons propelling market expansion in these specific areas, Asia Pacific is anticipated to occupy the second position after North America. For instance, the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) evaluated the rates of device-associated infections across 40 Indian hospitals in comparison to many other nations. Therefore, the demand for autoclaves in this particular location is unintentionally increasing in order to reduce cases of HAI infection.
