United states industry development
✅ 2025: The global food & beverage disinfection market is estimated at USD 10.35 billion in 2025.

✅ In North America (covering the U.S.), the food & beverage disinfection market was valued at USD 3.15 billion in 2024, with significant growth projected.

✅ 2025: U.S. food-processors are increasingly adopting non-thermal decontamination technologies such as UV light, pulsed electric fields (PEF), cold plasma in wash-and-pack, produce and ready-to-eat lines, driven by consumer demand for minimal-processing and stricter regulatory hygiene standards.

✅ 2025: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published its "Human Foods Program FY 2025 Priority Deliverables" which emphasise microbiological safety, risk-based prevention of foodborne pathogens and stronger hygiene protocols reinforcing the regulatory impetus for disinfection solutions.

✅ 2025: Processors in the U.S. are increasingly investing in automated sanitation-and-disinfection systems that provide validated microbial reduction, traceability of hygiene events, and lower chemical residues reflecting the convergence of food safety, sustainability and operational efficiency.

Japan industry development
✅ 2025: The Japan food & beverage disinfection market is growing, driven by high domestic emphasis on food-safety, hygiene and advanced sanitization technologies

✅ 2025: Japanese food-processing/packaging firms are adopting non-chemical disinfection methods - e.g., plasma sterilization, high-pressure cleaning, UV-based sanitization - particularly in high-value sectors (fresh produce, seafood, ready meals) where minimal residue and high hygiene standards matter.

✅ 2025: Industry events in Japan such as Food Hygiene Expo (Japan) 2025 are emphasising hygiene solutions, sanitary materials, advanced disinfectant systems and automated cleaning/monitoring tools - signalling the trend toward tech-enabled disinfection in will-be-developed domestic markets.

✅ 2025: The Japan "industrial cleaning/cleaning-products" market (which overlaps hygiene/disinfection) was valued at USD 2.95 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow further - indicating sustained investment in cleaning/disinfection infrastructure across food processing among other industries.

Recent m&a data:-
