In 2026, air showers, as a core equipment for personnel flow control in clean areas, achieved a double breakthrough in technological iteration and scenario adaptation. Multi-person passage air showers became mainstream in high-end manufacturing, with the market size increasing from 930 million RMB to 1.67 billion RMB between 2020 and 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate of 12.8%.
The semiconductor, biopharmaceutical, and precision electronics sectors contributed over 85% of the demand. Technologically, leading companies such as Suzhou Antai and Shenzhen Guanzhida are driving the evolution of equipment towards "intelligent sensing + precise air purging": integrating facial recognition access and online particle monitoring functions, and achieving real-time connection with MES systems through edge computing units, reducing unplanned downtime by an average of 34.8 hours per year; using CFD simulation to optimize airflow organization, ensuring stable air velocity of 22-25 m/s across the entire area, and achieving a removal efficiency of over 99.97% for particles ≥0.5μm, fully complying with the new GB/T 25119-2021 and ISO 14644-1:2024 standards.
In terms of scenario adaptation, dedicated models for the semiconductor industry support high-throughput passage of 300 people per hour and comply with the SEMI F57 metal precipitation standard; models for the biopharmaceutical field have added data traceability functions to meet the new GMP appendix regulations; and the food industry uses hygienic quick-release structures and 304 stainless steel materials, resistant to temperatures ≥180℃, conforming to HACCP standards.
