Market Overview:

The global sponge and scouring pads market size reached US$ 5.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 6.3 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.0% during 2023-2028. The increasing demand for non-scratch scrubbing pads in households for cleaning and removing rust from several delicate surfaces, including glass, ceramics, and stainless steel appliances, represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Sponge and scouring pads refer to abrasive tiny rectangular-shaped cleansing products with metal and artificial polymer mesh that are utilized to clean and polish various impervious water-resistant surfaces through intensive washing and rubbing. They include hand pads and sponges as standard variants that are further available in light, medium, heavy and extra-heavy-duty forms. These product types comprise six sides, from which one side consists usable scouring surface with dimensions, and another part includes sponge-like material that is soft and helps in absorbing liquids. Sponge and scouring pads are highly-absorbent, long-lasting, elastically grounded, easy to rinse and wash after usage, and they can resist common cleaning chemicals and hot water. Apart from this, they prevent over-cutting and scratching the surface and offer excellent efficiency and superior cleaning. Based on these properties, sponge and scouring pads are extensively used by end users for deburring, rust removal, scrubbing, and scouring surfaces.

Sponge and Scouring Pads Market Trends:

The increasing demand for non-scratch scrubbing pads in households for cleaning and removing rust from several delicate surfaces, including glass, ceramics, and stainless-steel appliances, represent one of the key factors driving the market toward growth. In line with this, considerable expansion in the food and beverage (F&B) and hospitality industries and the rising health concerns have encouraged the uptake of sponge and scouring in hotels, food chains, and restaurants, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Such products are widely employed to scour spillages from restrooms, kitchen surfaces, slabs, and sinks and clean or polish various utensils, such as dishes, plates, forks, and cutting boards. Additionally, the shifting consumer inclination toward sponge and scouring pads over scrapers, steel wool, and metal swabs due to their versatility, non-rustiness, and the ability to clean surfaces without harming the surfaces and with naked hands are propelling the market growth. Moreover, the implementation of multiple green initiatives by regulatory bodies has prompted manufacturers to fabricate eco-friendly and decomposable sponges and scouring pads made from recyclable raw materials, such as wood pulp and cotton fibers, which, in turn, is favoring the market growth. Furthermore, the escalating consumer awareness regarding the availability of multiple home care products and their accessibility across different online and offline distribution channels is supporting the market growth. Apart from this, extensive marketing campaigns and continuous product diversification by key players are driving the market growth.
