Bio Decontamination Market size was valued at US$ 248.8 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 410.2 million by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 7.4% from 2025-2031. In an era where the safety of healthcare facilities, laboratories, processing plants, and even military equipment is paramount, hydrogen peroxide generators emerge as indispensable tools in the battle against infectious agents. As regulatory authorities and patients alike demand safer environments, infection control procedures, including bio-decontamination processes, have become top priorities for healthcare personnel and industry professionals across various sectors.

Hydrogen peroxide generators offer a versatile and effective solution for bio-decontaminating critical areas such as intensive care units, operation rooms, laboratories, and processing facilities. These generators play a crucial role in reducing the risk of patients and visitors acquiring infections from healthcare facilities by eliminating infectious agents from environmental surfaces and air.

In healthcare settings, vaporized hydrogen peroxide generators are deployed to decontaminate a wide range of areas, including patient rooms, waiting areas, tissue culture labs, and ambulances. In addition to their widespread use, ensuring the effectiveness of bio-decontamination processes is essential for quality control. Here, advanced measurement solutions like the Vaisala PEROXCAP® Hydrogen Peroxide, Humidity, and Temperature Probe HPP270 series play a vital role. By accurately measuring parameters such as ppm (H2 O2), relative saturation (RS%), relative humidity (RH%), and temperature (T), these probes provide critical insights to optimize bio-decontamination processes and ensure the safety of environments.

The global bio-decontamination market is projected to reach US$ 353.8 Million by 2029 due to continuous advancements in biodecontamination technology that have led to the development of more efficient, effective, and automated systems for decontaminating surfaces, equipment, and environments. Innovations such as vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) systems, UV-C disinfection devices, and ozone generators offer enhanced efficacy and convenience in biodecontamination processes.
