As global demand for herbal medicines continues to rise, ensuring compliance with international production standards has become more important than ever. In response, a growing number of companies in the herbal pharmaceutical sector are investing in cleanroom (controlled environment) infrastructure to manufacture high-quality, GMP-compliant herbal products.
Cleanroom Construction: A Critical Step in Standardizing Herbal Drug Production
Cleanrooms are specially designed spaces where airborne particles, microbial contamination, and other pollutants are minimized using advanced filtration and environmental control systems. In herbal drug manufacturing, cleanrooms are essential during sensitive stages such as extraction, formulation, and packaging, ensuring purity, safety, and product consistency.
Industry experts emphasize that cleanroom technology is not merely a regulatory requirement but also a strategic investment that builds consumer trust, facilitates product registration, and enables international export.
Notably, in recent years, health accelerators, incubators, and innovation funds have helped emerging startups and SMEs build cleanrooms by providing technical and financial support. This trend is expected to transform the herbal medicine sector in Iran and similar markets by boosting product quality and export potential.
