Grout Cleaning Equipment Market - Global Outlook & Forecast 2023-2028

The global grout cleaning equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.43% during 2022 to 2028.

MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

Consistent Growth In The Construction Industry

The world population is projected to increase to over 8 billion by 2022, and World Bank estimates that about 75% of the population will be living in urban areas by 2030 globally. The construction sector is propelled by shifting consumer preference from rural to urban areas and boosting the demand for residential units. Furthermore, each residential unit would require flooring as it is an integral part of a house; thereby, frequent maintenance activities would have to be carried out. The commercial construction sector is also growing as the number of people in urban areas increases the requirement for sports and leisure, transport, hospitals, and school buildings. All these would require proper maintenance and cleaning activities. Such factors are anticipated to support the growth of the grout cleaning equipment market during the forecasted period.

Growing Demand For Green Cleaning Solutions

Due to the adverse effects of chemicals on the environment and health, consumers are shifting towards green cleaning solutions that do not harm the environment and human health. Chemicals such as ammonia, hydrochloric acid, and bleach are widely used in cleaning services; however, these chemicals being harmful in their properties, need to be disposed of carefully. They could lead to skin irritation and corrosion of various surfaces and can be deposited into water sources, becoming environmental hazards. Hence increasing awareness regarding the effects of such chemicals boosts green cleaning solutions in the grout cleaning equipment industry during the forecasted period.

Increased Awareness Towards Hygiene

The covid-19 has increased the awareness of hygiene and its importance globally. The UK also has regulated different regulations to maintain appropriate hygiene and cleanliness. In the UK, all employers, regardless of the organization's size, have a statutory duty to ensure the safety, health, and welfare of their employees and other people who will visit their place; this is set under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires all employers to carry out a “suitable and sufficient” assessment of the hazards to health and safety. Other countries across the globe have also stipulated regulations that must be followed to ensure good hygiene practices. Such factors are projected to propel the grout cleaning equipment market growth.
