Hygienic Cladding Market Report 2025

The hygienic cladding market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.29 billion in 2024 to $3.53 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for infection control in healthcare facilities, an increase in renovation activities, a rise in global healthcare expenditure, growth in pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing, and an increase in food and beverage production.

The hygienic cladding market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing construction activities, rising construction spending, expanding healthcare infrastructure, growing use in the food and beverage sector, and increasing demand for clean interior environments. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, progress in antimicrobial surface technologies, digital printing and customization, the development of biodegradable and bio-based cladding, and the adoption of thermoformable hygienic panels.

The increasing construction activities are expected to propel the growth of the hygienic cladding market going forward. Construction activities refer to the processes involved in building, upgrading, or developing infrastructure and buildings across various sectors. The rise in construction activity is driven by growing public and private investments aimed at developing and modernizing essential facilities. Hygienic cladding is applied in construction to offer durable, easy-to-clean wall surfaces that improve safety, support hygiene standards, and ensure regulatory compliance in contemporary buildings. For example, in November 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, reported a $19.96 million (£18,161 million) increase in new construction activity in 2022, with private sector developments increasing by 16.8% and public sector projects growing by 13.1%. Therefore, the increasing construction activities are driving the growth of the hygienic cladding market.

The increasing healthcare infrastructure is expected to propel the growth of the hygienic cladding market going forward. Healthcare infrastructure includes the physical facilities necessary for medical treatment, such as hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centers. Growth in this sector is fueled by the expanding aging population, which is leading to greater demand for medical and long-term care services. Hygienic cladding is incorporated into healthcare settings to provide tough, easy-to-clean surfaces that support stringent sanitation requirements. For example, in May 2023, the American Health Care Association, a US-based nonprofit organization, reported that the number of hospitals in the US rose from 6,093 in 2022 to 6,129 in 2023. Therefore, the increasing healthcare infrastructure is driving the growth of the hygienic cladding market.

Major companies operating in the hygienic cladding market are focusing on creating advanced products, such as interior wall-cladding solutions, to improve durability, hygiene, and aesthetics in healthcare and commercial buildings. Interior wall-cladding solutions refer to materials applied to interior walls to boost cleanliness, protection, and visual quality. For example, in January 2025, POLYVANTIS GmbH, a Germany-based polycarbonate manufacturer, introduced the LEXAN CLINIWALL Sheet, a hygienic interior wall-cladding product tailored to meet strict cleanliness and durability demands in public and healthcare facilities. It presents a safer and environmentally friendly solution for use in industrial, medical, and public environments. The product is highly resistant to stains, impact, chemicals, blood, and urine, offering long-term hygiene and structural stability. With excellent mechanical strength, fire and smoke safety performance, and full recyclability, it is well-suited for applications where sanitation, safety, and sustainability are critical.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.

Hygienic cladding is a durable, non-porous covering for walls and ceilings, made from materials specifically designed to create a seamless, easy-to-clean surface that prevents the accumulation of bacteria, mold, and other contaminants. It is widely used in settings that require strict hygiene control, such as food processing plants, commercial kitchens, hospitals, laboratories, and cleanrooms, helping to maintain sanitary conditions and meet health and safety standards.

The primary types of hygienic cladding include polyvinyl chloride cladding, polypropylene cladding, glass-reinforced plastic cladding, and others. Polyvinyl chloride cladding is a wall covering made from polyvinyl chloride, valued for its durability and resistance to moisture. Hygienic cladding can also be manufactured using materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, galvalume, composite panels, and glass. It is installed in various contexts including new construction, renovations, and retrofitting projects, and is applied in environments such as healthcare facilities, sports clubs, pharmaceutical plants, restaurant kitchens, and more.
