Following a market analysis, the size of the cleanroom market in the D-A-CH region is now known, which is considerable at 3.3 million square meters of existing space.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The demand for cleanrooms continues unabated and represents a growth driver in the D-A-CH region. In the following article you will learn, among other things, how big the growth of the cleanroom market is, some of the areas in which the cleanroom market is expected to grow and where the most dynamic cleanroom market is located. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Cleanroom sector as a cross-sectional industry<\/h2>\n\n

A special feature of the cleanroom sector<\/strong> is that it is a cross-sectional industry<\/strong> consisting of a large number of individual sectors<\/strong>, including cleanroom planning, cleanroom construction, cleanroom equipment and cleanroom clothing.<\/p>\n\n

It is assumed that data on the cleanroom market as a whole was previously lacking due to this split in the cleanroom market<\/strong>. The market analysis<\/g> “The German cleanroom market 2024 (excursus D-A-CH)” by the market research company Macrom has now rectified<\/g> this lack of data<\/g>. According to the study, the cleanroom market in the D-A-CH region has a total floor area of 3.3 million square meters, which represents a very large market. <\/p>\n\n

Major growth in the cleanroom market<\/h2>\n\n

The growth rates<\/strong> of the cleanroom market are also extremely positive<\/strong>. The German cleanroom market<\/strong> alone is growing by around 10 percent every year<\/strong>. The reason for this strong growth in the cleanroom market is seen on the one hand in the fact that the industries in which cleanrooms are used are also growing, particularly the pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetics and microelectronics sectors. On the other hand, the optics, laser, food, automotive, mechanical engineering and battery industries require ever larger cleanroom areas for production. <\/p>\n\n

In the past<\/strong>, cleanrooms were mainly used in the pharmaceutical, chemical and microelectronics industries. However, as industrial production has to meet increasingly stringent quality management requirements, manufacturing under cleanroom conditions is now<\/strong> also required in industries such as optics, lasers, food, biotech, automotive, mechanical engineering and batteries, which explains the increase in cleanrooms in these sectors. <\/p>\n\n

The cleanroom market size of<\/strong> 3.3 million square meters in the D-A-CH region can be explained<\/strong> on the one hand by the demand from the pharmaceutical and medical technology industry<\/strong> in Germany and Switzerland. On the other hand, demand in the electronics and microelectronics industry<\/strong> in Germany and Austria is also responsible for the large cleanroom market. <\/p>\n\n

Among other things, food production under cleanroom conditions<\/strong> is experiencing growth<\/strong> in Germany.<\/strong> Until now, this type of production was mainly common in Austria and Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n

Another growth driver<\/strong> for cleanrooms is the automotive industry<\/strong>, as customers are increasingly demanding that suppliers produce parts in cleanrooms in line with the supply chain principle. The mechanical engineering sector<\/strong> in Germany and Switzerland is also<\/strong> moving in this direction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The cleanroom industry also owes its growth<\/strong> to the many start-ups<\/strong> that require cleanroom conditions for their complex products or the construction of large-scale projects such as large data centers for cloud and AI applications. In Germany in particular, the cleanroom market is also growing due to subsidies<\/strong> for the establishment of<\/strong> companies in the semiconductor industry or e-car production, for example. <\/p>\n\n

Even cannabis<\/strong> is now being produced in cleanrooms<\/strong>, and some of these are large-scale projects. In Switzerland, for example, a production facility with a controlled clean room environment was launched two years ago, covering an area of 1100 square meters, where cannabis plants are grown and processed. <\/p>\n\n

Germany is the most dynamic market<\/h2>\n\n

Looking at the cleanroom markets in the D-A-CH region broken down by individual countries, the cleanroom market with the greatest momentum<\/strong> is to be found in Germany<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The German cleanroom market<\/strong> has assumed a kind of lead function<\/strong> for the entire D-A-CH region. This is because many functions in the cleanroom sector are concentrated in Germany, including cleanroom planning, cleanroom creation, the production of filter systems and the manufacture of wall and ceiling panels. <\/p>\n\n

The D-A-CH market for cleanrooms and cleanroom products<\/strong> is more segmented<\/strong> than expected, with different market volumes and differentiated development dynamics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Forecast for cleanroom development<\/h2>\n\n

The article in the trade magazine CHEManager “Cleanroom technology in changing times<\/a>” identifies three areas of activity<\/strong> in particular in which there will be the greatest potential for innovation<\/strong> in the cleanroom sector over the next 10 to 20 years<\/strong>, as well as the greatest need for cleanrooms:<\/p>\n\n
