Automated Medical Washer Disinfector Market Summary
The global automated medical washer disinfector market size was estimated at USD 1.24 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.18 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.45% from 2025 to 2033. This market growth is attributed to the rising global demand for efficient, standardized, and infection-compliant instrument reprocessing across healthcare settings.
The market is driven by increased surgical volumes, central sterile services departments (CSSDs) expansion, and growing awareness of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention. Hospitals and outpatient surgical centers are increasingly adopting these systems to improve workflow efficiency, reduce manual errors, and comply with regulatory guidelines from bodies such as the FDA, CDC, WHO, and ISO. Consolidating sterilization functions into centralized sterile processing departments has fueled the need for large-capacity, high-performance washer-disinfectors. These systems improve workflow efficiency, minimize contamination risk, and support infection prevention protocols across complex hospital networks.
In addition, compliance with international sterilization standards like ISO 15883, FDA guidelines, and European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) drives demand for automated washers that offer thermal disinfection validation, cycle documentation, and automated reporting, helping facilities maintain regulatory readiness.
The rising number of surgeries, particularly among the aging population, significantly drives the demand for automated instrument reprocessing systems, as they help reduce manual labor, enhance throughput, and ensure consistent sterilization standards. Procedural volume data underscore this trend. For instance, the American College of Rheumatology reported in February 2024 that approximately 544,000 hip and 790,000 total knee replacements are performed annually in the U.S. alone. Similarly, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), hospitals in Canada performed 58,635 hip and knee replacement surgeries in 2021-2022, an increase from 55,300 procedures in 2020-2021. These figures highlight the growing burden on central sterile supply departments (CSSDs) and reinforce the need for efficient, high-capacity automated washer disinfectors to support surgical workflows and infection control.
Increasing awareness of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and cross-contamination risks has significantly boosted investment in automated reprocessing equipment within healthcare facilities. These systems offer consistent, validated cleaning and disinfection cycles that support infection control protocols. In the U.S., regulatory bodies are actively reinforcing this trend. For instance, the Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program under the California Department of Public Health's Center for Health Care Quality is key in preventing, monitoring, reporting, and responding to HAIs and antimicrobial resistance (AR). Such initiatives underscore the critical need for high-performance, automated washer disinfectors that support public health goals and compliance with infection prevention standards.
The growing shift toward central sterile supply departments (CSSDs) is a major driver of the automated medical dishwasher market. As hospitals and surgical centers move toward centralized, standardized, and high-throughput reprocessing of surgical instruments and medical devices, CSSDs consolidate all sterilization and disinfection tasks into a dedicated unit, reducing cross-contamination risk, improving compliance with infection prevention guidelines, and ensuring consistency in cleaning processes.
Introducing new and advanced washer disinfectors plays a critical role in propelling growth in the automated medical washer disinfectors market. Modern product launches often feature technological innovations such as shorter cycle times, lower water and energy consumption, automated cycle tracking, and digital connectivity, enhancements that align with hospital demands for efficiency, sustainability, and compliance with infection control standards. These new systems help healthcare facilities meet the increasing reprocessing load driven by higher surgical volumes and stricter sterilization protocols.
