cleanroom technology Market

The cleanroom technology market is expected to reach US$ 77,609.04 million by 2031 from US$ 43,655.57 million in 2023; the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during 2023–2031. Major factors driving the market growth include increasing adoption in biopharmaceuticals industry and rising advancements in cleanroom technology. Further, escalating development of cleanroom technology-based products in developing economies is likely to boost the market during the forecast period. However, complexity and high costs are among the market deterrents.

Advancements in cleanroom technology range from the incorporation of high-efficiency particulate absorption (HEPA) filters to unidirectional airflow systems and modular cleanrooms. The use of soft walled modular materials in cleanroom construction eliminates the need to rebuild the facilities. For instance, as per the article published by cleanroom technology in June 2024, Total Clean Air (TCA), an expert in cleanroom construction and containment specialist, launched its new portable cleanroom product—The Airelab. The product features an advanced filtration system equipped with the TCA Pulse 1000 for superior air quality and quiet operation. Unlike traditional inflatable cleanrooms, The Airelab is configured for vertical or horizontal HEPA FFU mounts. Its structural integrity is maintained upon inflation and does not require a continuous pump or any other support mechanisms. The Airelab offers rapid deployment as it can be delivered anywhere within 24 hours and 48 hours within the UK and Europe, respectively. It is designed to meet ISO Class 6, 7, and 8 standards, ensuring a controlled and contaminant-free environment. Moreover, in September 2024, Nortek Air Solutions CleanSpace published a press article to announce the relaunch of its modular cleanroom solution, SERVICOR, to address the increasing demand for adaptable and scalable cleanrooms that achieve necessary filtration levels. The product meets ANNEX 1 requirements and recommendations, including a flush wall system, a coving system, upgraded interlocks, improved gaskets, and ceiling modifications.

Cleanroom technology-based products are increasingly focusing on sustainability and energy efficiency to reduce environmental impact and operational costs, using LED lighting, advanced HVAC systems, and other technologies. LED lighting is more energy-efficient and has a longer service life than traditional options. Additionally, smart HVAC control optimizes the environment by minimizing energy usage and enhancing overall efficiency. In January 2022, Clean Rooms International published a press article to announce the launch of its Flow-Thru Light Troffer, specifically designed for cleanroom applications. This troffer is ideal for cleanrooms with limited ceiling space or lighting, where cleanliness is crucial. It is suitable for environments from Class 10 to Class 100,000. Thus, the rising advancements in cleanroom technology boost the growth of the cleanroom technology market.
