Market Overview
The global dental steam sterilizers market was valued at USD 133 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 196 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. This growth is primarily driven by the increasing emphasis on infection control protocols in dental practices globally.
Dental steam sterilizers, commonly known as autoclaves, utilize saturated steam at temperatures reaching 270°F (132°C) to achieve sterilization. This process effectively eliminates all microbial life, including resistant bacterial spores, ensuring that dental instruments are safe for reuse. The typical cycle time ranges from 6 to 30 minutes depending on the instrument load and specific model capabilities.
