Cleanroom Films and Bags Market Report 2025

The cleanroom films and bags market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.43 billion in 2024 to $5.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth during the historic period was driven by the increasing demand for contamination control, the rising adoption of cleanroom environments, the expanded use of sterile packaging, the growing need for high-purity materials, and the surge in semiconductor production.

The cleanroom films and bags market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.6 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of semiconductor production, increased investments in the healthcare sector, rising demand for sterilized packaging solutions, the growing use of flexible cleanroom packaging, and the heightened need for high-barrier films. Key trends expected during this period include the adoption of eco-friendly packaging solutions, the integration of smart packaging, advancements in packaging materials, automation in manufacturing, and innovations in barrier films.

The growth of the cleanroom films and bags market is expected to be driven by the expanding pharmaceutical sector. This industry, focused on the development, production, and distribution of drugs and medical products, is experiencing growth due to the increasing demand for advanced medications and healthcare solutions. As the pharmaceutical sector grows, the need for efficient production and distribution channels rises, and cleanroom films and bags become essential in ensuring strict contamination control during the manufacturing, packaging, and distribution of pharmaceutical products. These materials are vital in maintaining the safety, purity, and quality of drugs, as even the smallest contamination can result in product failure, adverse reactions, or regulatory issues. For example, in February 2024, the UK’s Office for National Statistics reported that pharmaceutical research and development spending reached £9 billion ($9.33 billion) in 2022, making up 17.9% of total business R&D in the UK. This growth in the pharmaceutical sector is driving demand for cleanroom films and bags.

Leading companies in the cleanroom films and bags market are focusing on expanding their manufacturing capabilities to meet the rising demand for high-quality, contamination-free packaging solutions. These expansions are largely driven by growing applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and electronics, where high cleanliness standards are essential. For example, in January 2024, TekniPlex Healthcare, a US-based manufacturer of packaging and containers, announced a new multilayer blown film manufacturing line at its Puurs, Belgium facility. This expansion is intended to meet the increasing demand for high-barrier healthcare packaging solutions. The new line, located in ISO Class 7 cleanrooms alongside existing monolayer lines, will produce pharma-grade resin-based cleanroom bags under GMP conditions, replacing food-grade options. Operations are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2024, with full-scale commercial production soon after, boosting TekniPlex's capacity and market flexibility.

In March 2023, Vonco Products LLC, a US-based manufacturer of medical fluid bags, devices, and plastic components, acquired Genesis Plastics Welding, a deal that enhances Vonco’s ability to offer specialty medical devices, fluid bags, flexible packaging, and sterilization management services. The acquisition also retains Genesis’s Fortville location, integrating both teams to deliver improved quality and innovation. Genesis Plastics Welding, a US-based manufacturer of heat-sealing thermoplastic materials such as medical devices and fluid bags, strengthens Vonco's position in the healthcare sector.
