An increase in passenger vehicle sales is expected to drive the growth of the car detailing market in the future. Passenger cars, which are motorized 4-wheel vehicles designed to transport people with up to 9 seats, are primarily used for passenger transportation. Car detailing services, which involve professional cleaning, stain removal, and polishing to preserve a vehicle's interior and exterior, are in higher demand as passenger car sales rise. For example, in November 2023, Statistics Canada, a government agency, reported a slight increase in the number of registered road motor vehicles in Canada, reaching 26.3 million in 2022. This marked a 0.3% increase from the previous year, adding 78,655 more vehicles to the roads. As a result, the rise in passenger vehicle sales is fueling the growth of the car detailing market.
The car detailing market is further fueled by the expansion of the global automotive industry. Encompassing the design, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, the automotive sector's growth translates to increased demand for car detailing services. Factors contributing to this demand include a heightened focus on automotive hygiene, the imperative to maintain vehicles' aesthetic appeal, the adoption of advanced car cleaning techniques, and a substantial rise in car sales. Forbes estimates a 4% global increase in auto sales to 89.7 million units in 2023. Additionally, the Indian automotive industry is projected to reach $251.4-282.8 billion by 2026, as per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). This upward trajectory in the automotive industry is a significant driver for the car detailing market.
Innovation emerges as a prominent trend shaping the car detailing market, with major companies prioritizing the development of new technological solutions to fortify their market position. Notably, Kärcher Cleaning System Pvt. Ltd., a Germany-based provider of cleaning technology, introduced an innovative gantry car wash in May 2022. The CW 1 Klean!Fit, positioned in the entry-level class, incorporates features such as a separate foaming arch and an extra dosing pump to prevent mixing of cleaning agents. Utilizing a high-pressure system with 16 bars for both high- and low-pressure washes, the equipment does not require an additional supply pump for brush watering, showcasing advancements in car detailing technology.
