2026年 2月 10日(火曜日) 18:46
The Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD), also known as the Central Sterile Supply Center, is a core department/institution in medical institutions or professional third-party organizations responsible for the collection, cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, storage, and distribution of reusable medical devices, instruments, and supplies. It is a key link in ensuring medical quality and safety and is known as the "sterility assurance center" in the medical field.
Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) Industry View
The Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) serves as an "invisible line of defense" in the healthcare safety system. As the core hub for the centralized processing of reusable medical devices, it oversees the entire process from device retrieval, cleaning, disinfection, sterilization to distribution. Through standardized operations and precise quality control, it prevents the spread of iatrogenic infections, providing aseptic safety guarantees for clinical scenarios such as surgery and diagnosis. From routine instruments to precision endoscopes and orthopedic implants, whether a hospital-built CSSD or a third-party CSSD, its professional technology and standardized processes make it an indispensable safety support for medical institutions and a key cornerstone for upgrading healthcare quality.
Regionally, North America, relying on its comprehensive healthcare quality control system, focuses on intelligent and intensive operations. Regional shared centers and third-party service models are widespread, and its technology and services are at the forefront globally. Europe, on the other hand, focuses on stringent sterilization standards, deeply cultivating low-temperature sterilization technology and the application of environmentally friendly equipment, resulting in products and services that combine precision and sustainability. The Asia-Pacific region has become the core engine of industry growth. China, driven by upgrades in medical infrastructure and policy support, is accelerating standardization and intelligent transformation. Emerging markets such as India and Southeast Asia are releasing strong demand as medical resources expand. According to our data, North America was the largest market globally in 2024, accounting for 31.61% of the market share, followed by China and Europe, accounting for 28.78% and 19.78% respectively. China is projected to experience the fastest growth in the coming years, with a CAGR of approximately 10.95% from 2025 to 2031.
From a company perspective, globally, core vendors in the Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) sector include STERIS, Crothall Healthcare, Sterigenics (Sotera Health), SERVIZI ITALIA S.P.A., AIR WATER INC, Nihon Stery, Inc (H.U. Group), Servizi Ospedalieri, Julikang, PENTAX Medical, Laoken Medical, SpecialtyCare, Jienuo Medical, Antech, IHSS, and Apperton, among others. In 2024, the leading global manufacturers were XSTERIS and Crothall Healthcare, holding approximately 2.91% of the market share. The second tier included Sterigenics (Sotera Health), SERVII ITALIA S.P.A., AIR WATER INC., Nihon Stery, Inc. (H.U. Group), and Servizi Ospedalieri, among others, collectively holding 3.53% of the market share.
Currently, healthcare institutions primarily provide sterilization services for medical devices through in-house Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSDs) and third-party-operated CSSDs. In-house CSSDs hold a significant position, while third-party CSSDs, through professional and large-scale operations, offer healthcare institutions solutions for cost optimization and efficiency improvement, accelerating the transformation of sterilization supply services from in-house operation to a socialized service model.
For large hospitals, despite having the capacity for sterilization supply, the increasing demands for sophisticated instrument sterilization and the growing volume of surgeries, coupled with limitations in space expansion and operating costs, are gradually revealing the capacity bottlenecks and technological upgrade pressures of self-built Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSDs). Third-party Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSDs), with their concentrated investment in high-end equipment and professional technical teams, can undertake complex sterilization services, helping hospitals free up internal resources and focus on core medical services. For small and medium-sized medical institutions, often limited by funding and scale, the construction and maintenance costs of standardized Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSDs) are difficult to bear. Self-conducting sterilization services can easily lead to substandard quality and weak risk control. Third-party Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSDs) effectively reduce unit service costs by consolidating scattered sterilization needs into a large-scale service, enabling small and medium-sized medical institutions to obtain sterilization services that meet national standards with lower investment, thus reducing operational burdens and mitigating infection control risks.
Policy guidance and regulation have laid a solid foundation for the development of third-party Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSDs), while the urgent need of healthcare institutions to reduce costs and increase efficiency constitutes the core driving force for industry growth. Under the combined effect of these two factors, third-party Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSDs) will gradually achieve full coverage of their service scope and a comprehensive upgrade of their service capabilities, becoming an important supporting force for ensuring medical safety and promoting high-quality development of healthcare services.
