Nano Wipes & Nanotechnology cleaning supplies are examples of nanotechnological cleanroom consumables. Nanotechnology advancements are paving the way for the next generation of materials and goods with the potential to transform the environment. Cleanroom systems can be designed to meet the rigorous requirements of this emerging technology. Cleanrooms by United provides modular cleanroom design and construction services for nanotechnology and other uses.

The growing number of infectious diseases and the increasing population suffering from these diseases are expected to fuel the growth of the cleanroom consumables market. The World Health Organization (WHO) says an estimated 17 million people yearly suffer from infectious diseases. In addition, an estimated 30 new infectious diseases have been found in the last two decades. For instance, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has increased awareness among pharmaceutical and medical device companies regarding the importance of using cleanrooms and cleanroom consumables in manufacturing practices. In addition, frequent environmental changes are anticipated to result in the transmission patterns of infectious diseases. As a result, pharmaceutical companies have been increasingly using cleanrooms and cleanroom consumables to ensure the safety and quality of their products.

In addition, factors such as increasing manufacturing of medical devices and pharmaceutical products by the pharmaceutical and medical device companies to address the growing burden of various diseases, rising demand for modular cleanroom systems, the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic and growing demand for healthcare services are expected to fuel the growth rate of the cleanroom consumables market. Furthermore, rising spending on healthcare facilities, an increasing patient count suffering from chronic diseases, a growing global aging population, rising demand for sterilized pharmaceutical formulations, and innovation in consumables products are estimated to support the growth of the global cleanroom consumables market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

Complex regulations associated with cleanrooms are majorly impeding the market growth. In addition, the lack of skilled professionals with expertise in cleanroom technologies and funding for cleanrooms in some countries further hamper the growth of global cleanroom consumables.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global cleanroom consumables market:

[May 2021] COVID-19 cases are growing at an exponential rate around the world. The reach of the healthcare industry is expanding, and new opportunities are emerging. To ease hospital overcrowding, specialized clinics and outpatient centers have sprung up. More long-term care facilities are springing up to serve patients who need months or years of aided rehabilitation.  The pandemic exposed supply chain failures in various sectors, causing delivery problems. As the epidemic spreads worldwide, a shortage of medical supplies remains a major concern. Manufacturing, Health supply, and distribution have all been affected because of the closure.

The COVID-19 pandemic, on the other hand, has increased demand for PPE kits and gloves, resulting in increased production of PPE kits and boosting market growth. Furthermore, due to social distancing, footfall in clinics and health facilities has decreased by more than 70% during this pandemic, reducing the number of surgical procedures performed and negatively impacting the market growth. The COVID-19 pandemic appears to have a major effect on designing and manufacturing medical devices, equipment, and implants. Healthcare services worldwide have never been under such strain as they were during the most recent pandemic in modern history. However, considering the reduced impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global market for cleanroom consumables is anticipated to register a healthy CAGR during the forecast period.
