Market Trends of Global Laminar Airflow Cabinets Industry
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.
