Cleanrooms Contamination
Control India Summit
2025
India's pharma cleanroom market is witnessing strong growth, driven by the expansion of pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, stricter regulations, modular cleanroom adoption, and a growing focus on sustainability. With the pharmaceutical industry expected to grow from USD 50 billion in FY 2023 - 24 to USD 120 - 130 billion by 2030, and the biotech sector projected to hit USD 150 billion by 2025, the demand for advanced cleanroom infrastructure is rising rapidly.
Cleanrooms are essential for ensuring product sterility, regulatory compliance, and patient safety. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% (2022 - 2028), supported by increased R&D, healthcare infrastructure, and smart cleanroom solutions aligned with global standards like FDA, EU GMP, and ISO 14644.
However, challenges such as high CAPEX, regulatory complexity, and a skilled workforce shortage remain. Still, cleanroom development is a strategic imperative for India's goal of becoming a global pharma hub.
The Pharma Cleanroom & Contamination Control India Summit will explore the latest innovations, regulations, best practices, and future trends shaping the cleanroom industry.
