Dynamics

Increased Innovative Product Launches

Innovative and innovative cleaner and degreaser formulas are made to function better, more efficiently removing tough stains, grease and pollutants. The improved performance satisfies the changing requirements of sectors where efficiency and cleanliness are essential. Innovative product releases frequently include innovative formulas and technologies. The technologies increase the effectiveness of products in a variety of applications and sectors by improving their cleaning and degreasing capabilities.

For instance, in 2020, for food and protein manufacturers, Ecolab has introduced Exelerate TUFSOIL, an innovative ready-to-use gel cleaning and degreaser. Ecolab is a global leader in hygiene and infection-control products and services. Reduce the amount of time needed to remove stubborn, burned-on soil from fryers, ovens, smokehouses, dryers, racks and adjacent areas by utilizing Accelerate TUFSOIL.

Industrialization and Manufacturing Growth

As industrialization keeps growing, the number of production facilities and machinery increases. Therefore, these facilities require routine cleaning and maintenance to ensure the efficient performance and longer lifespan. Cleaner and degreaser chemicals are required to remove dirt, grease and other residues from industrial equipment.

For instance, in May 2020, Surface Treatment, a global business unit of BASF's Coatings division, introduced FiSan, a comprehensive portfolio of sanitation solutions that include sanitizers, conveyor lubricants and cleaners (both acidic and alkaline) for the food and beverage (F&B) industry in China. In addition to offering a wide range of products, Chemetall also offers specialized equipment solutions and on-site technical support to meet the needs of its clients in both large and small cleaning operations, including foam and manual applications as well as Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Clean-Out-of-Place (COP).

Safety and Health Concerns

Several cleaning and degreaser formulations could contain chemicals that are hazardous to the users' health and safety. Adoption of particular products may be constrained by the requirement for safety procedures and protective gear, especially in sectors with stringent safety laws. If a manufacturer's product is linked to harmful health impacts, this could lead to increased accountability for them due to health and safety issues. Product safety-related litigation and legal challenges can be expensive and harm a company's brand name.

For instance, in October 2023, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends a ban of a carcinogenic chemical that is frequently used as a degreaser and furniture cleaner. Within a year, the majority of trichloroethylene applications would be prohibited by the ban. The handful of surviving commercial and industrial usage would need to be phased down over a longer period.

Strict Regulatory Compliance

Sustaining with strict regulations frequently necessitates large expenditures for testing, R&D and compliance oversight. The allocation of resources by manufacturers to ensure compliance with regulatory standards for their cleaner and degreaser products may result in elevated manufacturing expenses.

Product formulations for cleaners and degreasers may need to be modified in response to regulatory changes. Reformulation activities may be necessary as a result, which could be expensive and time-consuming. It may be necessary to obtain substitute substances to adhere to legal requirements.

Segment Analysis

The global cleaner and degreaser market is segmented based on product, supply mode, service, formulation, supply mode, end-user and region.

Drive Surge in Adoption of Water-Based Cleaners over Solvent-Based Alternatives

Regulations limiting the use of specific chemicals and emphasizing environmental sustainability are becoming more and more prevalent globally. When opposed to solvent-based cleaners, water-based cleansers are frequently seen to be more ecologically friendly. It usually emits fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which lessens their effect on the ecosystem as a whole and the quality of the air. Water-based solutions are being adopted by industries and consumers more frequently as regulations become stricter, which is propelling market expansion.

As opposed to solvent-based cleaners, water-based cleansers are typically safer for the environment and human health. Hazardous compounds found in solvent-based degreasers can endanger workers' health and worsen air pollution. Therefore, water-based product segment captures the significant shares in global market.

Geographical Penetration

Partnership Between Manufacturers and Key Automotive Players Drives the Regional Market Growth

Partnerships between degreaser and cleaner producers and automakers enable the development of specialty solutions customized to meet the particular cleaning needs of the automotive industry. Formulations that effectively remove grease, oil and other pollutants frequently encountered in vehicle maintenance may fall under this category.

For instance, in March 2022, MG Motor India, a subsidiary of SAIC, announced that it had partnered up with PPG Asian Paints to introduce ULTRAX Degreaser, a liquid alkaline degreasing cleaner. The carmaker's press statement states that the introduction of the degreasing pre-treatment chemical is in line with the brand's objective of promoting environmentally friendly, sustainable mobility and will result in a 787 Tons/year reduction in CO2.

It also resulted in the employment of High Throw Low Cure Cathodic Electro Coating Paint and Low-Temperature Phosphate (Versabond), which reduced CO2 by 325 and around 388 Tons annually, respectively. Therefore, Asia-Pacific is leading the global cleaner and degreaser market with majority of the global market shares.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The manufacture and distribution of cleaner and degreasers were impacted by the pandemic's disruption of global supply systems. The supply of cleaner and degreasers and related goods may have been hampered by delays in the procurement of raw materials, manufacture and transportation. There may have been delays in the cleaner and degreaser industry's investment plans and capacity development projects because of economic uncertainties and the necessity for enterprises to prioritize financial security throughout the epidemic. However, there was an increase in demand for degreasers and other household cleaning products since more individuals were spending time at home. The dynamics of the market may have been impacted by this change in demand patterns.

Price instability was caused by changes in supply and demand, which affected the cleaner and degreaser market among other markets. Market volatility was caused on by uncertainties over the scope and duration of the epidemic, which had an impact on industry participants' profit margins and pricing policies.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

A conflict might halt the supply chain if either Russia or Ukraine is a major manufacturer or supplier of raw materials needed in the production of cleaners and degreasers. Production delays, price increases or shortages could result from this. Currency values can be impacted by geopolitical events. For producers of cleaners and degreasers, currency fluctuations may have an effect on the cost of imported raw materials or completed goods, which could have an impact on market price.

The effect on the market for cleaners and degreasers would probably differ by location. Certain places may be more severely disrupted by the conflict than others and changes in the dynamics of global trade may have an indirect effect on other regions.
