Cleanroom Construction Market Size

The global cleanroom construction market was valued at USD 5.4 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 6.9% from 2024 to 2032.
 

Cleanroom Construction Market

Medicated BioTech and Pharma companies need cleanroom facilities for their production of vaccines, biologics, and gene therapies. The emergence of IoT, AI, and 5G has increased the demand for more sophisticated semiconductor materials, thus increasing the necessitation of cleanrooms. Besides, cleanrooms are also vital for the manufacturing of medical equipment for regulatory and safety compliance while the demand for cutting-edge medical equipment is increasing.
 

Likewise, expanding research and development laboratories within life sciences need cleanroom environments as contamination is prohibited, thus allowing academic, government and private research laboratories to operate cleanrooms. International companies are developing new sites and modernizing the old ones by incorporating cleaner technologies to boost research and development in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology as well as in the electronics sector.
 

Consequently, with the mushrooming of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, cleanroom building has surged. This is alongside the growth in the development of clean semiconductors as well as the rise in investments into the R&D sector.
 

Cleanroom Construction Market Trends

In the field of contamination control, the cleanroom technologies are witnessing deep advancements and these technologies are transforming automated cleanroom operations by reducing human interferences i.e. automating a process. Interventions that enhance the use of technology include enhanced controls and automated systems. The cleanroom automation has a number of advantages including but not limited to decreased human intervention during cleanroom cycles, quicker methods and reduced times. Together they define greater efficiency and also improved product quality.
 

Furthermore, cleanroom environments should ensure tight control of certain environmental conditions where optimal ambient conditions translate to product quality. Such conditions includes retaining the humidity level low as high humidity can lead to issues ranging from microbial growth to equipment failure and degradation of the product being manufactured. Subsequently, a low humidity level can be accomplished by the use of dehumidifiers and ventilation ensuring that the place is appropriately controlled. The latest technologies have further integrated modern dehumidifiers that have energy efficient features including smart humidity sensors, variable-speed compressors and pre-programmed settings enabled further optimizing energy use.
 

Cleanroom Construction Market Analysis

The construction of clean rooms requires a considerable amount of investment in clean room materials, clean room equipment and clean room labour. These high initial costs can be a hindrance to smaller firms or expansion seeking ones. Clean rooms also require maintenance to make sure air is purified, humidity is managed, and there is no contamination. Maintenance of regular checks, cleaning and filter changes form part of maintenance costs, more so of those in regulated sectors. With the dynamic nature of technology, clean room facilities always ensure that set institutional standards remain in place, burdensome as it may be.
 

In cleanrooms specifically, there is a growing call for higher levels of automation, better filtering systems, and improved cleanliness control, as the industries of the modern world advance and grow. These clean room construction companies must embrace these new clean room automation technologies, and expand their capabilities which further raises costs alongside increasing the complexity of the clean room construction process.
 

Global Cleanroom Construction Market Size, By Type, 2021 - 2032 (USD Billion)

Based on type, the cleanroom construction market can be segmented into modular cleanroom, soft wall cleanroom, hardwall cleanroom and others. The modular cleanroom segment accounted for revenue of around USD 2.3 billion in the year 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 7.2% from 2024 to 2032. Most construction companies and subcontractors opt for cleanroom solutions since these set up facilities offer them various advantages. In particular, modular cleanrooms have become quite popular as they are relatively easy to set up and can be easily reconfigured as well.
 

With the increasing adoption of modular cleanroom solutions by the biotech, pharmaceuticals and electronics industries, which require some level of operational flexibility, it can be foreseen that the market for these solutions will expand significantly in the near future. One of the advantages of modular cleanrooms is that they can be designed in various sizes and shapes, as well as in terms of functionality, therefore able to meet a plethora of business requirements. Additionally, companies can easily expand their cleanrooms or reconfigure them at later dates, as required.
 

In contrast, soft cleanroom barriers can be a great alternative to cleanroom doors if costs need to be contained. Soft walls are constructed from PVC or vinyl and are significantly lighter and easier to install than hard walls and hence is cost effective, this alongside the ease with which it can be built, makes it a sound option for many businesses, especially those on a tighter budget. In moderate contamination control scenarios which don't require a rigid design and structure, soft walls can be easily employed, such as in healthcare, light manufacturing industries and pharmaceutical compounding.
 

Global Cleanroom Construction Market Revenue Share, By Application, (2023)

Based on the application, the cleanroom construction market is categorized as biotechnology, aerospace and defense, semiconductor, healthcare, pharmaceutical and others. The semiconductor segment held around 29% of the total market share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2024 to 2032. As the space in which semiconductor devices are integrated continues the trend in miniaturization to 7nm and 5nm, greater emphasis has to be placed on contamination control. Cleanrooms have very precise airflow, filter and temperature regulation. Automation minimizes human contamination risk, since materials handling is carried out by automated systems and wafer production is controlled by robots which improves uniformity.
 

Simultaneously, the biopharma division of the pharma industry is experiencing rapid growth, particularly in biologics including vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and gene therapies. These products need stringent containment control, which is generating a strong need for the construction of clean rooms. They are also developing energy efficient systems to reduce the carbon footprint to meet the pharmaceutical company’s goals of green cleanroom environment.
