Increasing demand for cleanroom consumables due to the high risk of hospital acquired infections (HAI) is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

The high risk of HAIs is expected to increase the demand and drive the cleanroom consumables market growth. HAIs, also called nosocomial infections, are absent at the time of admission into the hospital but are acquired within 48 hours of hospitalization. Some of these infections include catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), surgical site infections (SSI), and Hospital-acquired Pneumonia (HAP). According to an article published by the Indian Journal of Medical Research in October 2017, the overall prevalence of hospital acquired infections at a tertiary care hospital in Pune, India, between March and August 2014, was found to be 3.76% wherein the risk of HAI associated with surgical intensive care unit (ICU) was 25%, medical ICU was 20%, burns ward was 20%, and pediatric ward was 12.17%

Global Cleanroom Consumables Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The COVID-triggered shutdown has disrupted the supply, distribution, and manufacture of medical supplies globally. Moreover, due to social distancing, the footfall in clinics and health institutions has fallen by more than 70% during this pandemic, leading to decrease in the number of surgical procedures, clinical trials, research and development activities, etc., which has negatively impacted the market growth.

However, the demand for cleanroom consumables is expected to remain high in the near future. Due to the COVID-19 impact, cleanroom consumables are experiencing increasing demand across the world. Products such as surgical masks, goggles, gloves, and gowns are unprecedentedly in high demand.

Furthermore, market players have collaboratively launched various initiatives and programs to support the demand for cleanroom apparels and PPE kits for healthcare and frontline workers working against the pandemic. For instance, in April 2020, DuPont, an American company engaged in manufacturing of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, launched The TyvekTogether Program for increasing the protective garment supply. Under this initiative, the company aimed to deliver six million additional non-surgical isolation gowns per month, around the world.

Lockdowns were imposed in many countries, which had a negative impact on the economy of the global private healthcare sector. It also resulted in the closure of industrial establishments, except the manufacturing of essential commodities, and disruption in the supply chain.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rise in the price of personal protective equipment (PPE) by 100-200%, especially those needed to protect frontline health workers.

Global Cleanroom Consumables Market Restraint

Adverse effects associated with the use of cleanroom consumables may act as a restraint for the market growth. Potential allergic reactions from latex gloves create the need to use synthetic gloves such as nitrile, vinyl, and polyethylene gloves. For instance, in December 2014, the U.S. FDA recommended to label the medical products mentioning if it is made from natural rubber latex. If patient is allergic to natural rubber latex, healthcare professional or caregiver should choose gloves made from other synthetic materials.
