The Emergence of COVID-19 Has Increased the Demand for Cleanroom Consumables
Cleanroom consumables are widely used across various industrial domains, such as medical devices, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, electronics, academics, automotive, and aerospace and defense. Cleanroom consumables include cleanroom apparels, such as hoods, face masks, pants, shoe covers, sleeves, bouffants, frocks, and coveralls, cleaning products, such as cleaning chemicals, wringers, buckets, cleanroom mops, etc., cleanroom stationery, such as binders, adhesive pads, notebooks, papers, etc., dry and wet wipers, gloves, and adhesive mats.
A cleanroom is a controlled environment where pollutants,
such as aerosol particles, airborne microbes, and dust are filtered out to provide
the cleanest area possible. A cleanroom or a work area is a very sterile
environment where no disease, bacteria, or other germs can spread around. This
is where cleaning products come into the picture. By using the best of cleaning
products, businesses keep their work area clean and odor free. Most companies
that do business in a professional environment have an area designated for
cleanroom consumables.
The emergence of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has significantly
increased the demand for cleanroom consumables in the last few months. The
number of COVID-19 cases are increasing at an exponential rate, worldwide. As
of 4:21pm CET, 21 February 2021, there have been 110,749,023 confirmed cases of
COVID-19, including 2,455,131 deaths, according to the World Health
Organization (WHO). Moreover, in March 2020, the WHO estimated that to deal
with the COVID-19 epidemic, around 76 million gloves, 1.6 million goggles, and
89 million masks will be required.
Furthermore, with the rising number of surgical procedures and
increasing hospital admissions, the demand for cleanroom consumables is also
increasing at a rapid pace. For instance, in 2020, Contec launched the first
Green Cleanroom Wipe and CyQuanol Sterile CyQuanol is an EPA (Environmental
Protection Agency) registered ready-to-use, intermediate cleaner/disinfectant.
However, cleanrooms in various countries is regulated under the guidelines and
rules set by the regional agencies. Thus, it has become increasingly difficult
for cleanable consumables manufacturers to adhere to diverse standards to
explore international markets.
