Consumables Category Dominated Market in Historical Period (2014–2019)

In 2019, the consumables category held the larger share in the cleanroom technology market, when segmented on the basis of type. This is because consumables comprise safety and cleaning products, which are cheaper and do not require any installation and maintenance, unlike the equipment used in cleanrooms.

Hardwall Cleanrooms To Advance with Highest Growth Rate during Forecast Period

Hardwall cleanrooms are expected to register the fastest growth in the cleanroom technology market during the forecast period, based on construction. The growth in the demand for hardwall cleanrooms can be attributed to their rigid wall construction, which allows for a higher internal air pressure as compared to others, thus proving to be a better alternative.

Pharmaceutical End-Use Industry To Retain Its Dominance during Forecast Period

The pharmaceutical industry contributed the highest revenue to the cleanroom technology market during the historical period, when segmented on the basis of end-use industry. Moreover, the category is expected to retain its market dominance over the forecast period. The market in this category is driven by the presence of a large number of biopharmaceutical companies, for whom maintaining cleanliness and hygiene inside production and research and development (R&D) facilities is of the utmost importance, for the prevention of any infection.

North America – Highest Revenue Contributor to Industry

North America had been the largest contributor to the cleanroom technology market in the historical period. This was buoyed by the fact that apart from the pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology industries, the cleanroom technology finds wide application in the hospitals in the region. Moreover, with the increasing implementation of guidelines pertaining to cleanliness in healthcare and related research facilities, the demand for customized, modular cleanrooms is rising in the region, as they are more suited for clinical environments. Besides, cleanrooms provide a sturdy ceiling grid for use with ceiling-mounted HEPA filtration systems, due to which they are used by various industries, including biomedical, military, and manufacturing, in the region. Therefore, the increasing demand for safety and cleaning consumables is driving the market for the cleanroom technology in the North American region.

Asia-Pacific (APAC) To Advance with Highest Growth Rate in Industry

Globally, APAC is predicted to witness the fastest growth in the cleanroom technology market during the forecast period. This can be majorly attributed to the increasing healthcare expenditure, growing demand for certified products, and rising focus on clean and sterile conditions for product manufacturing. Moreover, the growth in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device sectors is contributing to the advance of the industry in the region.

Customized Cleanrooms Are Major Trend in Market

Customized cleanrooms are witnessing an increasing demand in the cleanroom technology market, since product manufacturing and processing need to be carried out in controlled environments, especially in terms of temperature, pressure, humidity, electrostatic charge, and magnetic flux. These conditions can be easily adjusted (as per the industry requirements) inside customized cleanrooms, which comprise ceiling grids, unidirectional plenums, and custom air handling equipment. Customized cleanrooms find applications in the R&D department in various industries, such as pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology. Due to the increasing need for controlled environments in these industries, the demand for customized cleanrooms and associated equipment is on the rise.

Advancements in Cleanroom Technology

The cleanroom technology market has been witnessing various advancements that are helping to develop better-quality sterile products in order to improve the efficiency of cleanrooms. These advancements help provide an ideal, contamination-free environment for R&D and manufacturing applications. Besides, technologically advanced cleanroom products help overcome challenges in the designing and workflow of cleanrooms, which further drives their demand across the world. Moreover, technological advancements in cleanroom equipment, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, and fan filter units (FFUs), are helping in the better maintenance of cleanrooms. These advancements will likely lead to a huge demand for cleanrooms, thus driving the market growth globally.

Growing Prevalence of Infectious Diseases

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2018, around 10 million people were diagnosed with tuberculosis and 1.2 million died of the same. Additionally, over 95% of the tuberculosis deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. The burden of infectious diseases, including HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis B, and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), is higher in low-income countries due to the high treatment costs and lack of proper healthcare infrastructure. Thus, the rise in the incidence of infectious diseases is a key factor leading to an increase in the demand for medication, which, in turn, is driving the cleanroom technology market.

Rising Demand for Sterilized Pharmaceutical Products

The WHO has set parameters for making sterilized pharmaceutical products, such as quality control, sanitation, sterile preparation, and isolator and blow/fill/seal technology use, to prevent any kind of contamination. All these guidelines and conditions can only be met through the use of cleanroom technologies. Thus, the increasing demand for sterilized pharmaceutical products is resulting in a positive impact on the cleanroom technology market.

Favorable Healthcare Regulations

According to the WHO, quality assurance during the clinical trials of pharmaceutical products is a must, and it should be in accordance with good clinical practices (GCP). Furthermore, according to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), certain guidelines regarding the production of sterile pharmaceutical products have been established, such as requirement for clean areas for manufacturing activities, good enough airflow, to be specified as grade A, and cleaning of product filling/sealing areas. Such stringent regulations imposed on the pharmaceutical industry are favoring the growth of the cleanroom technology market.

Market Players Are Engaged in Mergers and Acquisitions to Gain Competitive Edge

The global cleanroom technology market is fragmented in nature, with the presence of players such as M+W Group GmbH, Ardmac Ltd., Alpiq Holding Ltd., cleanroom.de GmbH, and OCTANORM-Vertriebs-GmbH.
