Cleanroom Films and Bags Market Report 2026

The cleanroom films and bags market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.77 billion in 2025 to $6.15 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of semiconductor manufacturing facilities, growth in pharmaceutical production, rising adoption of cleanroom standards, increased use of protective packaging materials, availability of polymer-based films and bags.

The cleanroom films and bags market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.92 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in advanced cleanroom infrastructure, rising demand from biotechnology and medical device sectors, expansion of electronics manufacturing, growing focus on sustainable cleanroom materials, increasing regulatory compliance requirements. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for contamination-control packaging, growing use in pharmaceutical manufacturing, rising adoption of anti-static materials, expansion of cleanroom-compatible transport solutions, enhanced focus on particle-free packaging.

The expansion of the pharmaceutical sector is expected to drive the growth of the cleanroom films and bags market in the coming years. The pharmaceutical sector encompasses the development, production, and marketing of drugs and medical products. Its expansion is fueled by the rising demand for advanced drugs and healthcare products, necessitating increased production and distribution capacity. Cleanroom films and bags are critical in this sector, ensuring strict contamination control during the manufacturing, packaging, and distribution of pharmaceutical products. These materials maintain drug safety, purity, and quality, as even minor contamination can result in product failure, adverse effects, or regulatory non-compliance. For example, in December 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, the Pharmaceuticals product group accounted for £8.7 billion ($10.21 billion) in business R&D in 2023, representing 17.4% of the total R&D conducted by UK businesses. Hence, the expansion of the pharmaceutical sector is propelling the cleanroom films and bags market.

The cleanroom films and bags market is witnessing a trend of advancements in high-barrier packaging solutions for contamination-sensitive applications. Companies are expanding manufacturing facilities to meet rising demand in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and electronics, where stringent cleanliness standards are essential. For instance, in January 2024, TekniPlex Healthcare, a US-based packaging manufacturer, added a multilayer blown film line at its Puurs, Belgium facility to produce pharma-grade resin-based cleanroom bags under GMP conditions. This expansion replaces previous food-grade alternatives and enhances TekniPlex’s production capacity and responsiveness to market demand.

In March 2023, Vonco Products LLC, a US-based contract manufacturer of medical fluid bags, devices, and plastic components, acquired Genesis Plastics Welding. The acquisition strengthens Vonco’s capabilities in specialty medical devices, fluid bags, flexible packaging, and sterilization management. Genesis Plastics Welding, based in Fortville, US, specializes in heat-sealing thermoplastic materials for medical devices and fluid bags, and the integration aims to enhance product quality and innovation.
