Based on product, sterilization devices under decontamination is estimated to hold the largest market share in 2025.
Based on product, decontamination is categorized into disinfection units and sterilization devices. Sterilization devices are expected to account for the largest market share in 2025 due to their indispensable function in eliminating a broad biological agent in healthcare, defense, and laboratory environments.
The growing need for low-temperature sterilizers, hydrogen peroxide vapor systems, microwave sterilizer units, and gamma irradiation solutions has increased the need for organizations to find stable, validated procedures for decontaminating medical equipment, laboratory surfaces, and delicate equipment. These instruments provide high performance, regulatory approval, and compatibility with intricate and heat-sensitive materials, which are critical to biosafety regulations in hospitals, research facilities, and mobile bio-containment units.
Biosensor-based technologies segment is estimated to hold the largest market share in 2025 by technology.
Based on technology, biosensor-based technologies are estimated to account for the largest market in the biodefense market by 2025 due to their pivotal function in providing real-time, precise, and decentralized sensing of biological threats. Biosensor-based technologies are being widely used in hospitals, defense forces, border control, and public health organizations for their high sensitivity and quick response to detecting pathogens like anthrax, ricin, and new viruses.
The emergence of point-of-care diagnostics and increasing demand for early warning systems in biodefense applications have considerably enhanced the usage of biosensor technologies. Their versatility in varied environments, ranging from military field operations to urban hospitals and mobile laboratories, makes them valuable to the biodefense market.
Europe is estimated to hold the second-largest market share in 2025.
Europe is estimated to have the second-largest share of the biodefense market due to growing government efforts to enhance biosecurity and pandemic preparedness. The region has witnessed increased investment in biosurveillance infrastructure and decontamination technologies. Countries such as Germany, France, and the UK are at the forefront with strong public health systems and country-level biodefense strategies.
Besides that, robust partnerships among defense agencies, biotech firms, and research organizations have boosted innovation in technologies like mobile biocontainment units, biosensors, and AI-based threat detection. Support from EU-wide initiatives such as Horizon Europe and cooperation with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) further boost regional readiness.
