Cleanroom Technology In Healthcare Market Expected to Reach $8.6 Billion by 2032—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Cleanroom Technology In Healthcare Market," The cleanroom technology in healthcare market size was valued at $5.2 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $8.6 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2023 to 2032. Cleanroom technologies are equipment and consumables used to provide pollution-free environment required for various healthcare related activities. Equipment such as cleanroom air showers, HVAC systems, laminar air flow systems, high efficiency filters, desiccator cabinets, fan filter units, and others are used in the establishment and maintenance of cleanroom.

In addition, consumables such as cleanroom gloves, cleanroom wipes, cleaning products, cleanroom apparel, cuff sealers, cleanroom caps, and others are required for daily maintenance and cleaning of cleanrooms. Rise in adoption of cleanrooms leads to subsequent increase in demand for equipment and consumables, which is one of the major cleanroom technology in healthcare market trends.  

The adoption for cleanrooms is rising in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare research industries. The healthcare government has put forth several regulatory guidelines and researchers, manufactures, and distributors of pharmaceuticals and medical devices are expected to follow these guidelines. As cleanroom is one of the major concerns mentioned in the guideline, adoption of these cleanrooms is rising in industries. Selection of an appropriate cleanroom depends on the type of activity carried out in the company.

Various types of cleanrooms are available based on the grading system given by the International Organization of Standards (ISO). As the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are abiding by the rules designed by the regulatory bodies, the demand for cleanrooms in these industries increases. This contributes to the growth of the cleanroom technology in healthcare market share. 

On the basis of components, the market is segmented into equipment and consumables. The consumables segment dominated the market in 2022, as there is a frequent need for cleanroom consumables for efficiently managing the cleanrooms. Consumables such as cleanroom apparels, cleanroom gloves, cleanroom wipes, and others are required on a daily basis for working in cleanrooms and hence, there is a high demand for these consumables in the cleanroom technology in healthcare industry.  

In addition, key players in the market are offering a variety of consumables, which are made of high-quality materials. For instance, companies such as Dupont De Nemours Inc., Illinois Tool Works Inc. (Texwipe), Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Km Corporation, Micronclean, Steris Plc, and others offer a wide range of products to choose from. This is further contributing to the growth of the market.  

However, the equipment segment is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period, owing to the technological advancement in equipment such as cleanroom filters, HAVC systems, and others. Technological innovations have allowed manufacturers to achieve better environmental control at lower costs, which has led to significant growth in the cleanroom technologies in healthcare market.  

Furthermore, with the help of robots, cleanrooms can run without human interference. Thus, eliminating the possibility of contamination. Automation and robotics in equipment also improve efficiency and productivity in cleanrooms, leading to better quality products. AI in cleanroom technology is also gaining traction, as they allow for real-time visibility and monitoring of the cleanroom. These factors are anticipated to drive the segment growth during the forecast period. 

By end user, the market is segmented into pharmaceutical & biotechnology industry, medical device industry, and hospital & diagnostic centers. The pharmaceutical & biotechnology industry segment dominated the market in 2022. The growth of the segment is attributed to surge in adoption of cleanroom by pharmaceutical and biotech companies due to stringent guidelines established by the regulatory authorities for maintaining product quality and patient safety.  In addition, the rise in R&D activities in the biotechnology field is further driving the demand for cleanrooms.   

On the other hand, the medical device industry is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the strict rules and regulations imposed by the regulatory bodies on the medical devices companies around the globe. 

Based on region the cleanroom technology in healthcare market analysis is done accross North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA. North America held the largest market share in 2022 and is anticipated to remain dominant during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including an increase in healthcare expenditure and implementation of governmental initiatives aimed at modernizing healthcare infrastructure. Well-developed healthcare infrastructure and well-established pharmaceutical industries with advanced technologies are also contributing to the growing demand for cleanroom technologies.  

In addition, the presence of key players in this region leads to the expansion of the market. For instance, companies such as Cleanrooms by United, Cardinal Health, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Modular Cleanrooms, Inc., and others offer a wide range of products such as equipment, which are highly advanced in nature. This contributes to the growth of the cleanroom technology in healthcare market share in this region.  

However, the Asia-pacific region is anticipated to be the fastest growing region during the cleanroom technology in healthcare market forecast period. The growth in this region is mainly due to the rising R&D activities related to cell and gene therapies. As this research requires a highly controlled environment, there is a high demand for cleanrooms in this region. In addition, a rise in investments related to R&D is encouraging researchers to establish highly sophisticated cleanrooms.  

In addition, the healthcare infrastructure in countries such as China and India is developing, and new advanced technologies are adopted by hospitals and diagnostic centers. Cleanrooms have become one of the major components adopted by the healthcare facilities to increase patient safety in the hospitals.
