The professional street sweeper market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.37 billion in 2024 to $2.53 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to increasing urbanization, stricter regulations for road cleanliness and pollution control, growing concerns about environmental cleanliness, the expansion of infrastructure, heightened emphasis on maintaining clean streets for tourism, and improving public health.
The professional street sweeper market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.26 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. Looking ahead, growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by rising air pollution, the expansion of smart city initiatives, the introduction of energy-efficient vehicles, an increase in outsourcing street cleaning to professional service providers, and greater investments in public infrastructure. Key trends expected during this period include improvements in filtration systems, a growing demand for automated street cleaning solutions, integration with IoT for real-time performance tracking, the development of quieter sweepers for urban areas, and the integration of street sweepers into broader waste management systems.
The growth of the professional street sweeper market is expected to be driven by the expansion of road networks. These networks consist of interconnected roads designed to facilitate the movement of people and vehicles between various locations.

As road networks grow, the total area requiring consistent cleaning and maintenance also rises, thereby increasing the demand for professional street sweepers to maintain cleanliness, safety, and adherence to environmental regulations. For instance, in May 2024, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a U.S. government agency, reported that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act allocated $673.8 billion for transportation, with $379.3 billion-representing 56%-designated for highways over a five-year period from 2022 to 2026. Consequently, the expansion of road infrastructure is projected to drive the professional street sweeper market forward.
