Growing R&D Activities in Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Sectors to Aid Market Augmentation

Increasing research and development activities in pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors have propelled the need for a sterile setting with sterilized products and devices. This has elevated the usage of sterilization equipment such as chemical and biological indicators to achieve sterility during the manufacturing process. The rapid expansion of pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries over the past 10 years has escalated the number of sterilization procedures, thus propelling the demand for sterilization indicator tapes and other products. The launch of advanced products by market players will further propel market expansion.

On the other hand, lack of strict policies for routine evaluation of sterilizers in developing countries and limited usage of sterilization indicators by healthcare facilities to cut costs will hamper the sterilization indicator tape market growth.

Mergers and Acquisitions Undertaken by Industry Leaders to Drive Market Augmentation

Leading sterilization indicator tape companies are making strategic decisions such as partnerships, product launches, collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions to maximize profits, enhance geographical reach, and gather larger revenues. For instance, August 2021, Microcare, LLC announced the acquisition of Certol International, a specialty cleaning and disinfectant product manufacturer.
