Increasing Utilization in the Food and Beverage Industry
The escalating utilization of pressure washers in the food and beverage (F&B) industry to maintain hygiene, cleanliness, and remove stubborn residues is significantly driving the pressure washer market demand. Moreover, the implementation of stringent government regulations regarding safety and hygiene in the food and beverage industry is also augmenting the adoption of pressure washers. Additionally, the expanding F&B sector, along with the increasing number of restaurants and food chains, is further contributing to the market growth. In 2021, consumer spending reached almost GBP 118 Billion (US$ 140 Billion) in the United Kingdom. According to gov.uk, the food industry also had a central role in the government's leveling up agenda in June 2022. It is present in every part of the country. It is the largest manufacturing sector in the United Kingdom, more significant than automotive and aerospace combined. Furthermore, the highest risk for the food industry is food contamination. Preventing microbial and cross-contamination becomes crucial to avoid paying the heavy economic sanctions provided for those who do not abide by the rules of good manufacturing practices (GMP) or those who do not implement the HACCP protocol in the manufacturing process organization. Using pressure washers eliminates the possibility of food contamination, therefore, such regulations will create a positive outlook for the future of pressure washer market.
