Global Cleanroom Technology Market- Driver

Increasing launch of cleanroom systems

The increasing launch of modular cleanroom systems by the key market players is expected to drive the global cleanroom technology market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in March 2023, TERMOVENT Komerc d.o.o., a company involved in the design, production, and installation of modular panel systems used in the field of cleanroom technology, announced that it has launched a new T-cell modular cleanroom system for use during the manufacturing of medical devices and instruments that requires a controlled environment.

Rising demand for cleanrooms due to the emergence of contagious diseases

The demand for cleanroom technology is expected to increase owing to the increase in the emergence of various contagious diseases such as COVID-19, influenza, dengue, and others. The rise in the prevalence of such contagious diseases is expected to increase the demand for solutions to mitigate such disease, and thus will increase the use of cleanrooms for the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products and biologics. For instance, according to data published by World Health Organization (WHO), on July 7, 2023, the infection of Enterovirus-Echovirus 11 (E-11 infection) is rising rapidly in European countries. As of June 26, 2023, Croatia, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the U.K. have reported confirmed cases of E-11 infection.

Global Cleanroom Technology Market- Regional Analysis

Among all regions, North America is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. This is attributed to North America holding a 34.8% market share and due to the presence of major players such as Kimberly-Clark Corporation, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., and others contributing to the development of the cleanroom technology market in North America.

The Europe region is expected to be the second dominating region over the forecast period, due to emergence of novel infectious diseases in this region. For instance, according to WHO, on May 5, 2023, France reported an increase in cases of severe neonatal sepsis associated with Enterovirus (Echovirus-11 (E-11)).

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

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 has affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand for drugs and vaccines, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E, Egypt, and others, faced problems with regard to the transportation of drugs and vaccines from one place to another.

Quarantine, traveling constraints, and social distancing measures are likely to lead to a steep decline in business and consumer spending. Furthermore, healthcare providers were facing challenges in terms of additional manpower, equipment, consumables, and other resources which were required to ensure safety in hospitals and provide treatment to patients with other diseases. This has impacted the overall healthcare market negatively. However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global cleanroom technology market due increase in the demand and usage of cleanrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cleanrooms are designed in such a way that they provide a controlled environment intended to reduce contamination by airborne particles, microorganisms, and other contaminants, for the manufacturing of sensitive product such as medical devices, biologics, and others. The cleanrooms prevent COVID-19 from contaminating the pharmaceutical products. For instance, according to an article published by Contamination Control Society, a U.K.-based society for cleanroom, clean air, and containment practitioners, in August 2021, the coronaviruses do not pass through H14 HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters, therefore viruses are unlikely to pass into a cleanroom via the external air. Thus, due to this advantage of cleanroom technology, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the market.

Global Cleanroom Technology Market Segmentation:

The global cleanroom technology market report is segmented into type, product type, end user, and region.

Based on type, the market is segmented into standard/drywall cleanrooms, hardwall cleanrooms, softwall cleanrooms, and terminal boxes/pass through cabinets. Out of which, the hardwall cleanrooms segment is expected to dominate the global cleanroom technology market during the forecast period, and this is attributed to an increase in the number of partnerships between key market players for building hardwall cleanrooms.

Based on product type, the market is segmented into equipment (HVAC Systems, Fan Filter Units (FFUs), HEPA Filters, Laminar Air Flow Systems and Biosafety Cabinets, Air Diffusers and Showers, and Others) and consumables. Out of which, the equipment segment is expected to dominate the global cleanroom technology market during the forecast period, and this is attributed to an increase in product launches by key market players.

Based on end user, the market is segmented into pharmaceuticals companies, biotechnology companies, hospitals, and others (research laboratories, diagnostic centers and among others). Out of which, the pharmaceutical companies segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period, and this is attributed to an increase in the use of cleanrooms in pharmaceutical companies.

Among all segmentation, the end user segment has the highest potential due to an increase in the number of hospitals. For instance, in 2022, according to data published by American Hospital Association, there were 6,093 hospitals in the U. S. in 2020, and total admissions in all the U.S. hospitals were more than 33,356,853, in 2020.

Global Cleanroom Technology Market Cross-Sectional Analysis:

In the end user segment, the hospitals segment held a dominant position in the Asia Pacific region due to an increase in the number of hospitals in this region.
