Laminar Airflow Cabinet Market Analysis
The laminar airflow cabinets market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the instrument industry very severely, there was no manufacturing, no shipping of the existing orders, and half manufactured products, which not only resulted in a huge loss of capital but also labor force due to the strict lockdowns all over the world. However, this pandemic has also provided a silver lining. It had increased the demand for laminar cabinets due to their application in every laboratory related to biological works. The number of microbiology tests has gone up drastically due to the COVID-19 virus break and increased comorbidities due to infection. Hence, COVID-19 might have been an adverse impact on the market initially due to strict lockdowns. As the COVID-19 cases have reduced and huge vaccination campaigns are expected to reach the market to their potential in the coming future.
Laminar airflow cabinets are also termed Biosafety cabinets due to their extensive use in microbiology labs and creating a microbe-free work area for laboratory purposes. Their main application is to create contamination and dust-free working area. One of the major driving forces for the growth of the laminar airflow cabinet market may be technological advancements to make it more efficient and operator-friendly, especially in filtration and fan technology, because these two components are the most important ones. Another driving forces that may contribute to the growth of the laminar airflow cabinet market are an increase in R&D in the pharmaceutical sector.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, each year, non-communicable diseases cause 41 million deaths annually, or almost 70% of all fatalities worldwide. While non-communicable diseases tend to manifest in adulthood, many have their origins in behaviors adopted during childhood and adolescence. Risk factors for these diseases are often preventable that need appropriate health interventions before, during, and after pregnancy, and through childhood and adolescence, which can significantly reduce their prevalence. Thus, increasing the risk of communicable diseases and increasing research and development activities in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies are the key driving factors in the laminar airflow cabinet market.
The major restraining factors for the growth of the laminar airflow cabinet market are the high durability of the laminar airflow cabinets as once installed, their minimum life is around 2-3 years, and even after that, they can be made efficient just by replacing the fans and HEPA filters. Moreover, these two are the major restraints in the growth of laminar airflow cabinets. Furthermore, pharma companies tend to donate their used and refurbished cabinets to the institutes involved in low-end research work.
Laminar Airflow Cabinet Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Laminar Airflow Cabinet Market according to our research experts:
Vertical Laminar Airflow Cabinets is Expected to Occupy the Significant Share in the Market Over the Forecast Period
Vertical laminar airflow cabinets are mostly preferred by many industries due to their design and compatibility, and resemblance to the room exhaust system. Vertical laminar airflow cabinets require very little space compared to the horizontal type of cabinets. They may be installed on a tabletop anywhere in the room, as their fans are upward and the projection of the air is downwards while it is not in the case of a horizontal one which requires large space. Vertical cabinets are safer than horizontal cabinets as there is less chance that flame/fumes may blow to the user's face. Additionally, the rising R&D expenditure due to the increasing prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases may drive the growth of the laminar airflow cabinets market.
Furthermore, as per the report titled "The Role of Multi-Zone ART Vertical Laminar Flow Workstations in Assisted Reproductive Treatment or In Vitro Fertilization" published in June 2022, vertical laminar flow workstations can have an optional integrated MIRI chamber for assisted reproductive treatment. It also stated that Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Vertical Laminar Flow Workstations are commonly used for ART procedures and they also play a significant role in the medical and biotechnology industry.
The horizontal laminar airflow cabinets have many disadvantages over vertical laminar airflow, which is why they are used less. For example, apart from taking up so much space, a horizontal laminar airflow cabinet can create turbulence with large laboratory instruments, and for servicing or changing the filters, the position of the cabinet has to be changed. At the same time, all these disadvantages are negligible in the verticle laminar air flow cabinets.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Laminar Airflow Cabinets Market Over the Forecast Period
Due to the presence of large pharmaceutical companies and world-class research institutes, North America has a major share in the global laminar airflow cabinets market. It is expected to dominate it during the forecast period. Of the three countries present in North America, the United States may hold the major portion of the market as compared to Canada and Mexico because the United States has the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world along with huge funding given by governments to universities and colleges for research and development.
According to the Congressional Research Service report of June 2022, in the United States, federal funding for research and development requested to USD 204.9 billion for 2023 from USD 2.8 billion in 1953. Thus, due to their rising R&D expenses, the region may witness rapid growth in the future.
Furthermore, the new advancements in the laminar airflow cabinets can significantly drive the market. For instance, as per the Labconco report titled "Particle Counter Integration Within Your Biosafety Cabinet" published in July 2021, the implementation of a comprehensive environmental monitoring program within the aseptic environment of the cabinet, ensure a therapeutic product without adulterated by foreign particules. Thus, adoption of advanced technologies, in the region further contribute to the regional market growth.
