In 2019, the pharmaceutical industry of India was predicted to advance at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.4% between 2015 and 2020, to value $55 billion in 2020, by the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). The industry in other countries is also on an upward growth trajectory, majorly because of heavy investments by public and private organizations and booming population. The regulations regarding hygiene and cleanliness imposed on the sector are extremely stringent, which mandates the use of cleanrooms and several types of cleanroom consumables to manufacture the drugs.
Thus, on account of the massive surge in the pharmaceuticals & biotechnology industry, the global cleanroom consumables market is predicted to register consistent growth in the coming years. Cleanroom consumables basically refer to the items used by drug manufacturers, research labs, and healthcare settings, in order to ensure minimal chances of contamination. These include wipes, face masks, shoe covers, sterile coveralls, goggles, aprons, lab coats, swabs, gloves, and mopping systems. Among these, those that are the most widely used in various industries currently are cleaning products, gloves, wipers, apparel, and adhesive mats. Out of these, gloves are expected to register the highest demand during the forecast period.
