Industrial And Institutional Cleaning Chemicals Market Analysis

The Industrial And Institutional Cleaning Chemicals Market size is estimated at USD 55.01 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 69.15 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.68% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market in 2020 as operations across different industries and institutions were halted due to the restrictions associated with the pandemic. However, considering the post-pandemic scenario, as lockdowns were lifted, the demand for these cleaning chemicals increased significantly, owing to increased awareness regarding better hygiene and cleanliness.

  • Over the short term, accelerating demand from the healthcare industry and rising demand from the food industry to combat foodborne illnesses are expected to drive the market's growth.
  • However, health hazards caused by cleaning chemicals are a key factor anticipated to restrain the growth of the market over the forecast period.
  • Nevertheless, the emerging use of bio-based cleaning chemicals is likely to create lucrative growth opportunities for the global market soon.
  • North America dominates the global market, owing to high awareness among the population and collective efforts to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.

Industrial And Institutional Cleaning Chemicals Market Trends

General-purpose Cleaners Segment Anticipated to Dominate the Market

  • The general-purpose cleaning products segment is the most significant product type segment of the industrial and institutional cleaning chemicals market. Products in this segment are mainly used as ware-wash, floor cleaners, etc., at hospitals, hotels, and offices.
  • Most chemicals used in industrial and institutional cleaning are biocides and surfactants.
  • Japan stands as a leading producer of industrial cleaning chemicals, owing to its abundant availability of raw materials and labor force. Data from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry revealed a decline in domestic demand for cationic surfactants in Japan, dropping by 350 tons (-3.31%) in 2023 compared to the previous year. However, the consumption in the last two years outpaced that of earlier years.
  • As per data from Happi Magazine and Circana, the household cleaning product segment with the highest multi-outlet sales in the United States in 2023 was all-purpose cleaners/disinfectants, which totaled over USD 1.7 billion in sales.
  • As cleanliness is a factor that has the highest importance in hospitals and healthcare, the growth of the healthcare industry and the increasing number of new hospitals play a significant role in the growth of the cleaning chemicals market.
  • Asia-Pacific is home to two of the most populous countries in the world, i.e., China and India, which are also home to more than 60% of hospitals worldwide.
  • India is home to about 70,000 hospitals, of which the private sector owns more than 63%.
  • Furthermore, along with hospitals, the hotel industry is another significant end user of general-purpose cleaning products. According to Hospitality Net, in 2022, about 2,480 new hotels were opened globally, and it was expected that in 2024, about 2,707 additional new hotels would be opened globally.
  • Moreover, data from IKW, the German Cosmetic, Toiletry, Perfumery and Detergent Association, indicated that household cleaning products in Germany raked in approximately EUR 1.24 billion (~USD 1.37 billion) in 2023, marking a 0.8% rise over 2022.
  • Given the critical reliance of end users like hospitals and hotels on general cleaning products, demand for the general-purpose cleaners segment is poised to rise in the coming years.
