The global laminar workbench market size was USD 329.4 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 449.7 million by 2031, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% during the forecast period.

The workbench has a specialized hood attached to it. A HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter in the hood filters air and blows it unidirectional across the bench, vertically or horizontally, either away from parts or materials on the bench. Depending on the level of cleanliness, required, different types of filters are available. Workbenches with the laminar flow are an excellent alternative to clean rooms when space and/ or money are limited, and building a clean room is not an option. In a business requiring clean, contaminant-free processes, a laminar flow workbench can be a very cost-effective option. A clean room is ideal for start-ups and small businesses since the investment is minimal and gives you time to grow to a size where you can afford the space and money. Stainless steel is used for the manufacturing of the workbench. An air / gas cock and an electrical outlet are standard fixtures. The laminar airflow principle was developed in the early 1960s, according to the CDC. In many generations of laboratory enclosures, it literally shaped the way air moves safely.  Laminar flow benches may be a good choice for any business where it is important to prevent dust particles or contaminants from attaching to or getting into parts, products, samples, or materials.

The global laminar workbench market is driven by various factors including its application in laboratories and in the electronics industry as well. Despite its increasing demand, the product is available at a pocket-friendly price in the market. The market restraining factors include certain demerits of vertical laminar flow tables.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Machinery and Equipment to Hamper Market 

As a result of COVID-19, the laminar workbench market growth has also been drastically affected. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the instrument industry suffered severe losses, including no manufacturing, no shipping of existing orders, and half-made products, which resulted in not only a huge loss of capital but also a huge loss of labor force because of the strict lockdowns across the globe. There is, however, a silver lining to this pandemic. It had increased the demand for laminar workbench due to their application in every laboratory related to biological work. As a result of COVID-19 virus break and an increase in comorbidities, microbiology tests have gone up dramatically. However, the relaxation of restrictions is expected to have a positive impact on the market as a whole.

Latest Trends

"Usage of Laminar Workbenches in Laboratories to Drive Market Growth"

For experiments and samples to be safe, sterile environments are often required in medical laboratories. To prevent contamination of experiments from bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, UV germicidal lamps are sometimes used to sterilize the interior and contents. To prevent the worker from being exposed to stray ultraviolet light emissions, the lamp is turned off while the laminar flow hood is on. A fume hood may be necessary if you produce fumes during your lab process.

Driving Factors

"Increasing Demand for Equipment in the Electronics Industry to Drive the Market"

The surfaces of electronic parts are very sensitive to contamination. A defect caused by these contaminants can "kill" a miniature circuit. Surface coatings on wafers or chips can create contact resistance, preventing relays from working. Hundreds of millions of dollars are lost every year due to a tiny speck of dust on a microchip. It is possible to use a laminar flow bench for both assembly and testing.

"Product Availability in Cheap Cost to Drive the Market"

Even though the usage and demand for these devices increase, the major driving factor is that their price never increases. It remains in a very affordable and cheap range. Thus, the availability of these devices at a cheap cost is a major driving factor of the laminar workbench market growth.

Restraining Factors

"Certain Demerits of Vertical Laminar Flow Tables to Restrain the Market"

There are some potential disadvantages to the vertical laminar flow tables. The placement of hands, materials, or equipment on top of other items obstructs airflow and creates turbulence, which reduces their ability to remove particles, increasing your risk for contamination. Vertical laminar flow tables can pose a safety risk if a stepladder is required to access the overhead filter on top of the table.
