The U.S. cleanroom film and bags market is expected to reach USD 1.989.9 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period. The stringent U.S. government regulations pertaining to the production and packaging of pharmaceutical and food & beverage products are driving the manufacturers operating in these end markets to focus on preventing contamination of their products and maintaining product quality which is expected to fuel the demand for cleanroom films and bags in the country over the forecast period.
Cleanroom film and bags are available in various material compositions such as polyethylene (PE), nylon, polypropylene (PP), and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) among others. Plastics-based cleanroom films and bags are used significantly due to their properties such as excellent puncture resistance, temperature resistance, and effective barriers against, moisture, dust, and other particulates.
The U.S. cleanroom films and bags are manufactured under the ISO 14644-1 standard classes. The most common cleanroom classes include ISO 5, ISO 6, ISO 7, and ISO 8. The cleanroom film and bag manufacturers manufacture their products based on these classes. For instance, ISO 5 cleanroom requires the manufacturing area to have 250-300 HEPA-filtered air changes and less than 3,520 particles >0.5 microns per cubic meter. It is known as the super clean cleanroom classification. Pristine Clean Bags manufactures its products in an ISO 5-class cleanroom.
California leads the U.S. market for the food and beverage and pharmaceutical sector. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), California leads in the number of food & beverage processing plants. Food & beverage contamination can affect the whole batch and affect the brand value of the manufacturers. Hence they require cleanroom film and bags for the packaging of their products and during their production.
The industry players are adopting several strategies including mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, expansion, and partnership agreements to increase the customer base and individual market share. For instance, in March 2023, CFB Cleanroom Film and Bags announced an expansion in its cleanroom packaging production made from nylon material to meet the increased demand for nylon cleanroom packaging solutions in the U.S. market.
