Based on application, the hospitals & medical institutes segment is expected to account for the largest share of the biodefense market during the forecast period. Hospitals are the initial point of contact for the identification of unusual infections or exposure to biological agents, and hence, they must have sophisticated containment systems, sterilization apparatus, and pathogen detection instruments in real time. With increasing bioterrorism, governments and health agencies are investing heavily in the upgrade of hospital biosafety facilities, such as Class III biological safety cabinets, mobile isolation units, and UV sterilization technology, all of which are becoming essential for modern biodefense infrastructure. These facilities need safe conditions to work with high-risk pathogens, which fuels the demand for low-temperature sterilizers, decontamination chambers, and air purification. The growing incorporation of digital surveillance platforms and smart biodefense technologies in healthcare facilities further solidifies their role in early detection and quick response, making hospitals & medical institutes the largest application segment of the biodefense market. Based on technology, the AI technologies segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur Advances Adult Congenital Heart Care with First Minimally Invasive PDA Device Closure
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur (PHKL) marked a significant milestone in cardiovascular care with the successful transcatheter device occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in an adult patient with congenital heart disease — a first for the hospital's Interventional Cardiology Laboratory (ICL). The patient, who was initially referred for open-heart surgery involving PDA ligation and ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure, was carefully evaluated by PHKL's multidisciplinary cardiac team. A detailed transoesophageal echocardiogram (TOE) revealed a single tiny VSD that did not require immediate surgical repair, allowing the team to opt for a less invasive, catheter-based approach. 'This case is a testament to multidisciplinary, patient-centred approach,' said Dr Siti Laura, Consultant Paediatric Cardiothoracic Surgeon at PHKL. 'By opting for a minimally invasive PDA device occlusion, we were able to offer the patient a faster recovery, smaller incision, and significantly reduced scarring.' This successful procedure highlights PHKL's expanding capabilities in adult congenital heart care, a specialised and growing field that requires collaborative planning and tailored interventions. It also reflects the hospital's commitment to delivering innovative, minimally invasive solutions for structural heart conditions in adults — a group often underrepresented in congenital cardiac care Our ability to perform such procedures reflects the hospital's continuous investment in advanced cardiac technology and our commitment to improving outcomes for patients with congenital heart disease,' Dr Siti Laura added. 'We will continue to monitor the patient's condition closely — particularly her VSD — to ensure optimal long-term care. PHKL reinforces its position as a tertiary referral centre and a growing centre of excellence for adult congenital heart disease management in Malaysia.
