Eastern Europe seeks higher product quality for sterilisation kit

摘要

The Eastern European market for disinfection and sterilisation equipment had revenues of US$67m (€48m) in 2008 and Frost & Sullivan (F&S) says this could rise to $114.8m (€82.3m) by 2015.rnLow-cost products enjoy preference within this market, especially in the public sector. However, entry into the European Union has compelled eastern European countries to meet EU standards and product quality is therefore becoming increasingly important.rnThe report, Eastern European Trends for Disinfection and Sterilisation Equipment Markets, covers steam sterilisers, low-temperature gas plasma sterilisers, formaldehyde sterilisers, washer disinfectors and automatic endoscope reprocessors.
