Industrial Cleaning Chemicals Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Food Cleaners, Disinfectants & Sanitizers, Commercial Laundry, Metal Cleaners and General Cleaners), Ingredient Type (Surfactants, Phosphates, Ph Regulators, Solvents, Solubilizers, Chelating agents and Other Ingredient Types), Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Industrial Cleaning Chemicals Market is accounted for $57.35 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $97.24 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. Industrial cleaning chemicals are man-made chemicals used to clean and sanitise industrial facilities. These compounds aid in the prevention of corrosion in industrial equipment such as pipelines, vessels, and heavy machinery. Cleaning and sanitising industrial equipment and flooring ensures worker safety and controls chemical, biological, and environmental dangers in the workplace. Although these chemicals are extremely effective, a single product cannot serve multiple functions. As a result, advanced designed solutions are required based on their specialised application.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the number of hospitals in China reached 36,570 in 2021 and registered growth when compared to 35,394 in 2020.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand from end-use industries post COVID-19 pandemic

Industrial cleaning is critical to the performance and expansion of manufacturing and commercial offices, healthcare, and retail and food service applications. Because there is direct client interaction in these applications, these industries strive to maintain cleanliness. Better hygiene is not only safer for workers in the manufacturing, food processing, and automotive industries, but it also results in higher quality products, which helps to boost productivity. All of these applications are likely to develop at a healthy rate, driving the need for industrial cleaning chemicals in these applications. As a result, the market is being driven by increased demand from end-use industries following the COVID-19 epidemic.

Restraint:

Government & environmental regulations

Because of their VOC concentration, many industrial cleaning chemicals are subject to a plethora of regulatory and environmental laws. Mineral spirits are a solvent often used for hard surface cleaning due to their ability to swiftly dissolve grease, oil, grime, dirt, burnt-on carbon, and heavy lubricants. Many other toxic chemicals, such as tetrachloroethylene and sodium hydroxide, pose various health risks. Sodium hydroxide is used to clean storage tanks and process tanks, tetrachloroethylene is used for dry cleaning, and triclosan is employed in the healthcare industry—all of these chemicals have negative health effects when they come into contact with sources of drinking water. All of these factors restrain the industrial cleaning chemicals market.

Opportunity:

Use of enzymes in detergent products chemicals

An enzyme is a catalyst that can speed up biological processes. Enzymes' ability to deliver washing performance at lower temperatures allows for significant environmental benefits. Using enzymes, which have good effectiveness at low concentrations in compact cleaning products, is an alternative method to replace phosphates. Enzymes are utilised in consumer detergent applications such as laundry and dishwashing, as well as professional cleaning in floor cleaning, medical equipment, and ware washing. Thus, the use of enzymes in detergent products chemicals represents a significant opportunity for manufacturers of industrial cleaning chemicals.

Threat:

Lengthy authorization for biocidal products

The Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012) governs the marketing and use of biocidal products, which are used to protect animals, humans, materials, or articles from harmful organisms such as bacteria or pests through the action of active substances contained in the biocidal product. All biocidal products must be authorised before they may be sold. Companies can select from a variety of methods based on the number of countries in which they want to sell their goods. Advocating for regulatory flexibility to allow for the rapid availability and certification of biocidal solutions is a major challenge for European industrial cleaning chemical makers.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak had a minor impact on market growth. One of the main reasons for the surge in demand for cleaning chemicals is an increase in consumer knowledge about sanitation and cleanliness in order to stop the spread of the virus. The industrial and manufacturing sectors saw an increase in the need for chemicals to maintain workplace hygiene. Because of the virus's unpredictability, hospitals took the required precautions to prevent virus transmission, resulting in a huge increase in demand for cleaning chemicals. However, the key players' insufficient manufacturing capacities in the industrial cleaning chemicals market created supply chain bottlenecks and prevented them from meeting rising demand.

The general cleaners segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The general cleaners segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. It has numerous applications as a degreasing chemical, for cleaning metals, and for maintaining hygiene. These general cleansers are inexpensive and effective. General cleansers are products that are used to clean a wide range of surfaces, including worktops, faucets, and food contact surfaces. This chemical is used as a cleanser and degreaser in various institutional facilities such as schools, offices, and libraries. As a result, demand for general cleaners is likely to rise during the predicted period.

The healthcare segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The healthcare segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, because of the rising demand for industrial cleaning chemicals in healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics, and medical institutions. Furthermore, the high consumption of cleaning agents in healthcare due to pathogen concentration reduction, as well as the increasing number of hospitals, is expected to drive market growth. As a result, all of these factors, together with expanding infrastructure and a greater emphasis on health-related cleanliness, are expected to fuel market expansion.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period, owing to increased demand from the hospitality industry. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic epidemic has boosted the usage of cleaning chemicals to sanitise and maintain high-quality hygiene standards, resulting in a surge in the requirement for disinfectants in North American regions. Domestic and foreign investment in key industries such as construction, healthcare, and energy is driving market expansion in this region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to increasing consumption of products from different sectors like laundry, food processing, and manufacturing sectors in India, China, and Japan. Furthermore, because of the low cost of labour, the easy availability of raw materials, and the easy availability of inexpensive land, the region has become a hub for international investments and flourishing industrial sectors. As a result, adoption of high-quality hygiene standards in these regions is likely to drive growth in industrial cleaning chemicals over the forecast period.
