Mexico Cleanroom Technology Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Equipment, Consumables), By End-use (Pharmaceutical Industry, Medical Device Industry), And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Market Size & Trends

The Mexico cleanroom technology market size was valued at USD 91.1 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.57% from 2023 to 2030. The rise in demand for high-quality products that comply with regulatory standards, combined with these technologies economic advantages, is assisting businesses in achieving a higher ranking. Other factors projected to increase demand for cleanroom technology over the forecast period include technological advances associated with these technologies, such as HEPA technology, the unidirectional airflow system, the commercialization of these technologies, and modular cleanroom technology.

Cleanrooms are classified based on their size and the amount of particulate matter allowable per volume of air. Medical devices and pharmaceutical manufacturers must comply with all these cleanroom standards to ensure that their products are free of contaminants and safe for patient use. The NOM, or Norma Oficial Mexicana, is a set of official, obligatory norms and guidelines for manufacturing activities in Mexico. Noncompliance with these regulatory standards will likely delay product approval processes in several industries. These factors have resulted in high demand for cleanrooms in manufacturing companies, which is expected to boost the cleanroom technology market over the forecast period.

Twenty of the world's top 25 pharmaceutical companies currently operate in Mexico. About 80 percent of pharmaceutical sales in Mexico are produced domestically, while the remaining 20 percent are imported. Moreover, the investment of international pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies is positively impacting market growth. For instance, in 2020, six Indian generic drug makers, Zydus Cadila, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Hetero Drugs, Ackerman Pharma, and Torrent Pharmaceuticals, signed a deal with Hidalgo State of Mexico to set up a large pharmaceutical cluster for logistics and production. Moreover, an increase in the development of healthcare facilities requiring cleanrooms is aiding the market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the market due to the increasing need to maintain a contaminant-free environment during sample collection and testing of COVID-19 suspect cases. In order to maintain a contamination-free setting, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies have made substantial market investments in response to rising COVID-19 vaccine development research and development activities. In addition, significant investments in generic drug development due to the anticipated expiration of patents for several branded drugs in upcoming years are anticipated to increase the demand for these products, including equipment and consumables to prevent contamination during the production procedures.

In addition, the growing demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to be utilized during vaccination campaigns has led to an increase in short-term contracts with suppliers to ensure a continuous supply of cleanroom equipment and consumables during the COVID-19 scenario. The majority of manufacturers have expanded their production capacities to meet the rising demand.

Product Insights

The consumables segment dominated the market with a share of 55.9% in 2022. Another important driver for the segment's highest share is the regular usage of consumables and significant sales of cleanroom supplies, most notably gloves. Consumables for cleanrooms can be either reusable or disposable and are frequently used in production settings in a variety of end-use industries, including pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, hospitals, and diagnostic facilities. Bulk purchases by manufacturing firms, a high desire for preventing employee contamination, convenience, and numerous alternatives produced by the leading players are some important factors that linked to the segment's growth.

Cleanroom consumables consist of disposable and reusable materials, such as face masks, gloves, beard covers, swabs, wipers, sticky mats, and adhesive tapes. The consumables used in cleanrooms play a critical role in maintaining standard cleanliness. They are used to ensure prevention of contamination from shoes, hands, beards, and hair. Operating personnel are the primary source of contamination; hence, safety in terms of contamination is provided by appropriate use of consumables. Increasing consumption is expected to boost the demand for consumables over the forecast period.

On the other hand, the equipment segment is projected to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The equipment used in cleanrooms ensures cleanliness levels and helps comply with regulatory standards. The equipment are designed to minimize air contamination. Equipment used in cleanrooms are laminar air flow units, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning System (HVAC) systems, air diffusers, air showers, desiccating cabinets, fume hoods, air filter systems, and pass-through systems. The demand for cleanroom equipment is expected to increase due to large number of medical devices and pharmaceutical companies.

End-use Insights

The pharmaceutical industry segment dominated the market with a share of 44.9% in 2022. The segment will remain dominant throughout the forecast period. The demand for cleanroom technology has increased as a result of strict laws governing the approval of pharmaceuticals, which has contributed to the expansion. Low particulate air is necessary for pharmaceutical manufacturing.

The installation of cleanroom technology equipment, including air showers, HVAC systems, and air diffusers, assures the highest product quality with minimal waste, maximizes yield, and improves the production process. As a result of the aforementioned factors, the pharmaceutical industry's utilization of cleanroom technology has expanded, indicating a significant growth potential.

Due to the sensitivity of biotechnology activities, such as research and development, biocontamination control, pilot studies, and manufacturing facilities, cleanroom technology is of the utmost importance. As a result, demand for cleanroom technology is anticipated to expand over the forecast period due to the expansion of the biotechnology industry in Mexico.
