Thus, the aforementioned advantages of clean room technology in the pharmaceutical industry are boosting its consumption, thereby, overall market growth.

Growing Usage of Cleanroom Technology in the Medical Device Manufacturing

The increasing implementation of cleanroom technologies in medical device manufacturing due to growing stringent regulations is expected to drive the overall market growth. Medical device manufacturers are deploying various cleanroom technologies to enhance the safety and quality of medical devices.

Medical device manufacturing is a highly complex and regulated industry. In many countries such as China, India, Japan and South Korea some medical device manufacturers are forced to upgrade or build a new cleanroom to comply with the new standards.

Some of the major benefits of the cleanroom technology are –

• Control Contamination and Improves the Quality Assurance: Various stakeholders and medical device manufacturing companies are deploying cleanroom technologies to create a controlled environment that minimizes contamination from raw materials, personnel, machinery, and product flow. This helps ensure the sterility of the final product and the manufacturing process. Furthermore, cleanroom technologies help produce safe and effective medical devices that improve patient outcomes.

• Compliances with Stringent Regulatory Compliance: Cleanrooms help medical device manufacturers meet the compliance and regulations of various regulators like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Indian Medical Device Manufacturing Standards and India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organization’s regulations. Thus,

Thus, the above-mentioned benefits of cleanroom technologies in the medical device manufacturing industry are mainly fuelling its adoption, thereby driving the market growth.

APAC Clean Room Technology Market: Restraint

High Implementation and Maintenance Cost

The installation of cleanrooms is very costly and requires high initial investment. For instance, the construction of cleanrooms requires the USD 150 to USD 1500 per sq. feet and the cost varies as per the additional features and customization. Thus, the high installation cost of cleanroom technology restrains its installation in the many budget-driven and small-scale end users.

The installation of the cleanroom requires highly advanced equipments such as HVAC systems, filtration units, and controlled environment technologies. The design and installation of such highly advanced systems require extremely regulated and sterilized conditions, increasing the regular maintenance and energy costs.

Furthermore, implementation of the cleanrooms requires highly skilled workforce, the remuneration and cost of these skilled labours is very high, which in turn increases the overall installation cost of the cleanroom, thereby reducing its implementation. Thus, the abovementioned factors are restraining the market growth.

Lack of Standard and Universal Design Model

The cleanrooms are designed and installed as per the customer’s requirements. Every end use industry has their own set of standards and requirements for installing cleanrooms. End-use industries are building and installing cleanrooms based on their product specifications and requirements.

For instance, the medical device manufacturer has their own set of rules and regulations for installing cleanrooms and biotechnology companies have different standards. The key players operating in the cleanroom technology market are finding it very difficult to comply with such end user specific requirements and standards. Thus, such factors discourage the overall investment in the market, thereby restraining the market growth.
