Technological advancements Bolster Middle East & Africa Drain Cleaning Equipment Market
Continuous development in technology has broadened the scope for technology adoption and subsequently facilitated the development of sophisticated devices that assist in numerous drain cleaning, maintenance, and inspection activities. For instance, technology-driven drain cleaning equipment and products such as push rod cameras, locating equipment, and other drain inspection tools have simplified drain cleaning activities compared to conventional methods. Moreover, the continuous integration of intelligent technologies for the development of innovative and improved drain cleaning equipment is projected to offer a sustainable competitive advantage and provide numerous lucrative business opportunities to manufacturers.For instance, in April 2023, Ridgid launched the SeeSnake Mini Pro Inspection Camera with TruSense Technology, the first reel of its kind to offer digital self-leveling without any moving parts. It is the newest reel in the RIDGID collection of inspection and drain cleaning products. The Mini Pro inspects up to 200 feet of 1.5-8-inch pipe with its mid-flex push cable, which can handle steep 90-degree bends. Its revolutionary 25 mm digital self-leveling camera ensures that the in-pipe image remains upright and is shorter than the typical 25 mm camera head. Such product development activities by drain cleaning equipment manufacturers are expected to support the drain equipment system market growth.
