Sterilization is the procedure of killing/removing/deactivating all forms of life like fungi, prions, bacteria, viruses, plasmodium, etc., which are present in biological culture media, medications, or fluids. Sterilization is a process that is compulsory since lethal diseases like hepatitis and HIV are threatening the lives of many people. Sterilization attained by heat finds its application in sterilization food containers such as beer, milk, and fruit juice bottles.

Sterilization is commonly achieved by using steam, dry heat, tyndallisation, flaming, and incineration. Using dry heat is a lengthy process as compared to using steam. The method kills the microorganisms through exposure to dry heat. The degree of sterilization that is achieved is proportional to the time of exposure. Tyndallisation reduces the activity of sporulating bacteria by using a water boiling method. Flaming is usually done in microbiology laboratories. In the process, straight wires and loops are heated until they emit a red color. Incineration burns organic material inside a waste. Sterilization by steam is done by heating the target material using injected steam until a particular time and temperature.

The driving factors of the European Sterilization Equipment market are stringent regulations in using medical equipment, the rise of growth in the food and beverages industry, increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure, growing demand for sterilized equipment, a growing number of hospital-acquired diseases, an increasing number of pharmaceutical companies, and rising geriatric population among others.
