Multi-layer ceramic capacitors were first developed in the 1970s and 1980s, but their widespread adoption was possible in the last decade with the development of new dielectric materials and fabrication methods. The MLCC (Multilayer ceramic capacitors) possess unique characteristics like flexibility in size or shape, low cost, ability to withstand high voltages and are considered to most reliable. However, the most crucial characteristic that resulted in their widespread adoption was their ability to pack multiple components into a single package. Each MLCC has hundreds of layers and each layer acts as a separate component. This eliminated the use of additional components in the circuitry. MLCC were at the center of all the technological innovations that happened in the last decade, and they can be considered to be one of the enablers of new innovations in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and energy storage. The impact of MLCC has been such that the new technologies, like IoT, 5G, and EVs, are highly dependent on the availability of MLCCs. This has driven the manufacturer to align the product line and production capacities, to serve the requirements of the technologies.

The sterilization equipment market is largely driven by increasing risks of cross-transmission in hospitals and other healthcare settings. According to a study conducted by Philip L. Russo et al., published in the Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control Journal, 2019, in Australia, the prevalence of patients with a hospital acquired infection (HAI) was 9.9%. The most common HAIs’ were surgical site infection, pneumonia, and urinary tract infection. The incidence is expected to be more in hospitals in developing and underdeveloped countries due to the lack of precautionary facilities. Other factors driving the growth of the market are the increasing number of surgical procedures, globally, primarily due to increasing number of chronic diseases and injuries. Additionally, due to the growth in the pharmaceutical industry, around the world, people are aware of sterilization equipment. These factors have also boosted the market growth. However, high stringent regulatory guidelines for market approval of devices and use of potentially harmful chemicals in these equipment have been restraining the market growth.
