Market Dynamics

Driver: mounting demand from end-use industries for cleaning applications

Industries such as heathcare, retail businesses, hospitality, and various institutions, there is a direct client interaction; thus, these industries and institutions are focuses on cleanliness. Additionally, industrial cleaning solvents plays important role in cleaning products as it is widely used in various products and forumulations to  improves efficacy of cleaning solutions. Therefore, the demand for industrial cleaning solvents in rising form end-use industries.

Restraints: strict government and ecological regulations

The regulations from environmental and government authorities from regions such as North America and Europe are imposed due to the VOC contents of various industrial cleaning solvents. These industrial cleaning solvent products made from mineral spirits, which contains volatile organic compounds. Because of  these VOC contents in products, products are becoming more difficult to control their exposure of workers. Therefore, regions such as North America, Europe and Asia Pacific implements regulations. Thus, they create a challenge for the industrial cleaning solvents.

Opportunities: Growing need for bio-derived cleaning solvents

Bio-derived cleaning solvents are contemplated more natural friendly as compared to traditional industrial cleaning solvents. Also, the mounting necessity for bio-derived cleaning solvents grants a substantial chance for manufacturers working in the industrial cleaning solvents market. Moreover, many countries have authorized regulations directing the use of bio-derived cleaning solvents due to their low toxicity and eco friendliness. This has led to an growth in demand for industrial cleaning solvents, which creates an opportunity for producers to tap into this growing market.

Challenges : Harmfulness of some solvents

Industrial cleaning solvents such as acetone, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and among others are toxic in nature and a cause of concern. Gernerally, they damage liver, kidneys and central nervous system, shows skin cancer in mice, and respiratory distress. Thus, the harmfulness of these industrial cleaning solvents is a major challenge for manufacturers.

Based on application, general & medical device cleaning is projected to be the largest market for industrial cleaning solvents, in terms of value, during the forecast period.

The industrial cleaning solvents market segmented in metal cleaners, food cleaners, general & medical device cleaning, commercial laundry and others on the basis of application.  General & medical device cleaning segment is projected to be the largest application of industrial cleaning solvents. This is due to the cleaning solvents used in this applications is for various kinds such as cleaning of hard surfaces, desks, walls, and many others. Moreovers, they shows antimicrobial properties which helps to prevent from diseases thus they are more used to clean medical devices.

Based on end-use industry, manufacturing and commercial offices is projected to be the largest market for industrial cleaning solvents, in terms of value, during the forecast period.

The industrial cleaning solvents are used in wide range of application and the market segmented into food processing, healthcare, hospitality, automotive & aerospace, manufacturing & commerical offices, retail & food service and others. The manufacturing and commercial offices end-use industry needs more cleaning solvents products for machinery cleaning, hard surface cleaning, and disinfection. Also, the solvents are suitable for cleaning products in industries as they does not leave any residue and evaporates fastly which allows it to use them to clean dirt from complicated parts. Hence, the manufacturing and commercial offices segment is the largest application for the industrial cleaning solvents market.

“Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share for industrial cleaning solvents market, in terms of value, in 2022”

In terms of value, Asia Pacific was the largest market for industrial cleaning solvents, in terms of value, in 2022, followed by the North America. This is due to the heavy industrial development, rise in population, low labour cost, improved living standards and accessibility of raw materials in this region. Also, the regulations in this region is not much strict as compared to other regions. Thus, due to these reasons the Asia Pacific holds the largest market share for industrial cleaning solvents.
