The medical segment was the largest and was valued at USD 2.42 billion in 2018. A significant share of such R&D investments is spent on contamination prevention activities, which include setting up and maintaining cleanrooms. Any contamination of the pharmaceutical research or production site, research material, and drugs can result in losses in the form of shutdowns and product recalls. Therefore, cleanrooms are used extensively in the medical industry for all manufacturing and research purposes. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are witnessing rapid growth, driven by the rising demand for medicines from emerging economies. As the patents on several older drugs expire, many pharmaceutical companies are also expected to invest in the development of new generics. Increased R&D spending on biotechnology and manufacturing will create significant opportunities for the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Type Segment Analysis: 

Based on type, the market has been segmented into hardwall and softwall. The hardware segment will account for the largest share of this segment.? This is a portable, standalone cleanroom structure made from steel or aluminum that can be assembled, disassembled, or redesigned as needed. They offer considerable flexibility in their design and restructuring and can be assembled faster than conventional cleanrooms, due to which the adoption of modular cleanrooms has been gaining momentum.  Setting up hard wall modular cleanrooms typically requires about half the time taken for a conventional cleanroom. The demand for hard wall cleanrooms from industries is always changing, which will make it necessary to develop with even greater variability.  It is expected that a majority of cleanrooms developed in the future will have a modular construction.  The cost advantages and additional features are expected to drive the demand for cleanrooms during the forecast period.

Key Driver- High demand for energy-efficient cleanroom

The global emphasis on environmental sustainability has surged, spurring heightened demand for cleanroom solutions designed to curtail energy consumption and environmental impact. Integrating energy-efficient HVAC and environmental control systems within cleanroom facilities presents a viable strategy for diminishing energy usage and operational expenses. By adopting energy-efficient cleanrooms, organizations can significantly reduce their carbon footprint, thereby aligning with corporate social responsibility objectives and environmental stewardship initiatives. These modern cleanroom facilities are characterized by advanced HVAC systems that optimize air circulation, temperature regulation, and humidity control, all while minimizing energy consumption.

Moreover, as the global commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability intensifies, the demand for cleanroom solutions offering tangible benefits in terms of environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness is poised to persist robustly. This sustained demand is anticipated to underpin the expansion of the global modular cleanroom market throughout the forecast period.

Major Trends- Cost-efficiency of modular cleanrooms

Modular cleanrooms offer several cost-related advantages that make them attractive to a wide range of industries. They offer cost-effective solutions with quicker setup times and potentially lower initial costs compared to traditional construction. The rapid installation and commissioning result in reduced downtime and faster time-to-market for products. This is particularly beneficial for industries that need to respond to changing market demands or accommodate urgent production requirements.

Moreover, the cost-efficiency appeals to a wide range of industries, from pharmaceuticals and electronics to food and beverage. As companies seek ways to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and remain agile in the face of changing market conditions, the cost-saving benefits drive global market growth and adoption during the forecast period.

Significant Challenge - Space limitation of modular cleanroom

Companies with existing facilities may be hesitant to invest if their space constraints make it difficult to install or expand cleanrooms. This can limit the adoption of cleanroom technology in industries that would benefit from it. In facilities with limited space, building or retrofitting a cleanroom may require costly structural modifications or compromises in cleanroom design, leading to higher construction costs.

However, this can discourage potential clients from pursuing cleanroom solutions. Industries with space-constrained facilities, such as older manufacturing plants, may be less likely to invest in cleanrooms, which can reduce the overall penetration of the global market during the forecast period.
