The global cleanroom films and bags market size is expected to reach USD 7.93 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.8% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., This growth is attributed to the rising demand for convenient and efficient packaging solutions. In addition, the growing demand for cleanroom packaging from several end-users such as the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries is expected to drive the demand for cleanroom film and bags.
Cleanroom films and bags are one of the most crucial products required to avoid contamination during the manufacturing of personal & oral care, healthcare, and food products. Efficient designs as per client requirements make product dispensing much easier. In addition, they offer convenience in terms of the application of the product and portability.
The growth is driven by several technological advancements in the cleanroom packaging industry such as counterfeiting technology that produces a product and its packaging as an original product and selling the counterfeited product as the original one. End-use industries, particularly personal care & cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries are being significantly affected by counterfeiting. However, volatile raw material prices are expected to hinder the growth of the market.
Apart from convenience, cleanroom films offer versatility to product manufacturers as well as consumers. Cleanroom films and bags can be manufactured in various sizes, shapes, and forms based on their end-use applications, thus, offering a wide range of choices for consumers based on their usage. Packaging solutions also provide plenty of space for manufacturers to print their logos, product information, and other regulatory information. Moreover, the external appearance of these packaging solutions can be modified using metallic covers, silk screens, and printed labels to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the product. It is cost-effective for manufacturers to decorate plastic packaging products using offset printing, silk screening, flexo print, or heat transfer compared to other packaging materials.
Technological advancements such as the development of modified atmosphere technology (MAP) and retort technologies are expected to increase the penetration of cleanroom films and bags over the forecast period. MAP aids in locking the freshness of food by controlling the blend of gasses such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen inside the packaging. This blend of gasses further slows down the decaying of food products and helps enhance their shelf life.
The industry players are adopting several strategies including mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, expansions, and partnership agreements to increase the customer base and individual market share. For instance, in March 2023, CFB Cleanroom Film and Bags (C-P Flexible Packaging) announced an addition to its cleanroom packaging portfolio by launching Tyvek sterilizable packaging in the U.S. market, catering to the healthcare industry.
