New Delhi: The sterilisation equipment market in India is expected to reach $170 million in 2033, according to a report on Monday.
Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, India’s sterilisation market witnessed a remarkable transformation, where sterilisation devices emerged as unwavering defenders of healthcare, safeguarding countless lives.
The report by GlobalData, a leading data, and analytics company showed that the demand for sterilisation methods continues to increase owing to the growing awareness of disinfection and sterilisation among healthcare personnel and the general population.
