Industrial Cleaning Chemicals Market Size:

Industrial Cleaning Chemicals Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.81% to be valued at US$67.302 billion in 2030 from US$50.750 billion in 2025. 

Industrial cleansers are chemicals used for various cleaning tasks across the manufacturing sector. They are suitable for cleaning all types of machinery and equipment involved in production operations. Industrial cleansers are widely utilized in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, food and beverage, chemicals, sugar, textiles, and other manufacturing sectors. The demand for industrial cleaning solutions is rising due to the expansion of industrialization and manufacturing activities. Another key factor driving the industrial cleaning chemicals market is the enforcement of stringent hygiene standards in sectors like healthcare and food and beverage.

Government initiatives for industrial cleanliness and hazard management, along with investments by key market players, are anticipated to boost market growth.

Government acts and programs emphasizing cleanliness and disinfection are expected to support the industrial cleaning chemicals market. For instance, on September 28, 2020, the President approved the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act, which mandates companies to comply with regulations for proper cleaning measures during manufacturing processes and the disposal of hazardous materials in the workplace. Such regulations are anticipated to significantly drive the market for industrial cleaners.

Industrial Cleaning Chemicals Market Key Players and Products:

Key market players are also actively investing in expansion and developing new products. For example:

• In October 2023, Sasol Chemicals launched two sustainable product brands, Carinex SL and Livinex SL. Carinex SL is an eco-friendly personal care solution with enhanced biodegradability and foaming properties, while Livinex SL is a multifunctional surfactant designed for industrial cleaning applications.
• In August 2023, BASF SE opened a new production plant in Dilovasi, Turkey, to increase capacity for water-soluble dispersants based on acrylic acid. This investment supports the company’s detergent and industrial cleaning product lines, targeting markets across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
• In June 2023, Lysol® introduced its first air sanitizer, a product that eliminates 99.9% of airborne viruses and bacteria, catering to industrial and institutional cleaning needs with a focus on air quality.

The need for industrial cleaners is anticipated to increase across various manufacturing industries, including chemicals, food, and healthcare.

Industrial cleansers are in greater demand due to the need to prevent industrial hazards and the rising incidence of contagious and communicable diseases across manufacturing units, particularly in the chemical industry. Food and beverage manufacturing industries, in particular, must maintain the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness. The market for industrial cleaners is growing due to surging product demand and health concerns driven by the world’s expanding population. Additionally, the healthcare segment of the global industrial cleaning chemicals market is expected to grow exponentially during the forecast period due to the extensive cleaning requirements in hospitals. Factors such as surface preparation for sterilization, disinfection, cleaning of clothes and gowns, and floor maintenance will drive the market in healthcare, where it holds a significant share. This segment demands cleaning solutions for blood stains, laundry, body fluids, and the elimination of hazardous air pollutants, as well as rapid evaporation in medical devices and pathogen removal, all of which contribute to market growth.

Industrial Cleaning Chemicals Market Geographical Outlook:

The industrial cleaning chemicals market is segmented geographically into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific. The Asia-Pacific market is expected to exhibit substantial growth due to thriving end-user industries. For instance, manufacturing in the region is likely to surge, supported by increasing incentives and reforms in countries like China, Vietnam, and India. Furthermore, companies are undertaking significant developments in the Asian market, which are expected to propel the industrial cleaning chemicals market in the region. For example, in July 2021, ITW Chemin, a key player, launched a waterless industrial hand cleaner range, known as Septone Eliminator and Septone Orange Scrub, in the Indian market.
