Chemicals Industry Today
Cleanroom Consumables Market expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2015 to 2023.
Cleanrooms are controlled working environments, wherein contaminants such as dust, aerosol particles, airborne microbes, and chemical vapors are reduced to bare minimal levels. Cleanrooms are primarily used in every industry where small particles/contaminations can adversely affect the manufacturing/critical research activities. These vary in size and complexity, and used extensively in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices and life sciences, as well as critical process manufacturing common in aerospace, optics, military, and department of energy. Two international standards are used to classify cleanrooms: Federal Standard 209E, which is an old version, and TC 209 from the International Standards Organization, which is an updated form followed across the globe.
The products considered under the scope of the study has been further sub-classified into six categories: cleanroom apparels, cleaning products, cleanroom stationery, wipers, gloves, and adhesive mats. Cleanroom gloves of various materials are available in the market. Each of these types has merits and demerits. Nitrile gloves are most widely used in cleanrooms as these provide comfort and elasticity, have favorable static discharge properties, and provide effective barrier protection. Hence, these are ideally used in all major industries such as electronics, health care, aeronautical, defense, and automation.
Cleanroom apparels include coverall, frock, boot covers, shoe cover, bouffant, sleeves, and other products such as pants, face masks, and hoods. Coverall is one of the widely and frequently replaced products within cleanroom settings. Cleaning products considered under the scope of the research in general are procured less frequently as compared to other cleanroom consumables considering the number of days a product can last/used. Cleaning chemicals are purchased in bulk and account for largest share of the cleaning products segment. Buckets, wringers, and squeegees are largely procured from local players, and accounted for a significant share of the cleanroom cleaning products segment in 2014. Polyester and urethane foam material mops are specially used in cleanroom due to their low particle generating and autoclavable properties.

The adhesive mats and wipers segments held similar market shares in 2014. However, growth rate of the wipers segment is slightly higher as compared to the adhesive mats segment considering the usage trend across all application segments. In the wipers product segment, pre-wetted or wet wipers (70% isopropyl alcohol + 30% ionized water) are generally used to avoid microbial contamination. Medical device and electronics manufacturers utilize wipes pre-saturated with solvents for oil and grease cleaning. Fabric of cleanroom wipes are designed for liquid and dirt holding capacity. Cleanroom adhesive mats are sticky mats used for removing unwanted dirt, dust, and debris from shoes and wheel borne contaminants. In general, a sticky mat acts as a barricade for maintaining sterile environment in health care research units and manufacturing plants. Considering the need for multiple units in a day, most mats are available in a pack size of 30 or 60 sheets per pad and each layer of mat is mostly kept for four to seven hours depending upon the number of people and nature of manufacturing/research work.
Major players profiled in the report include Berkshire Corporation, Cantel Medical, Contec, Inc., DuPont, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, KM Corporation, Micronclean (skegness) Ltd., Micronova Manufacturing, Inc., Nitritex Ltd., Texwipe, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Valutek.
