Pressure Washer Global Market Report 2024

The pressure washer market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.67 billion in 2023 to $2.81 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to an increase in demand for outdoor cleaning services, the surge in construction activities, growth within the automotive industry, and the rise in commercial and industrial maintenance. Additionally, the trends in do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvement have also played a significant role in driving this growth.

The pressure washer market is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.35 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a heightened emphasis on hygiene, the expansion of outdoor recreation spaces, a growing commitment to sustainable cleaning practices, the continuous expansion of e-commerce, increased adoption in agriculture, and a rising demand for emergency response and disaster cleanup services. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the diversification of nozzle and spray technologies, the continued growth of online retail and e-commerce, a focus on robust and durable build quality, an upsurge in rental services, and increased attention to regulatory compliance and standards.

The anticipated growth of the pressure washer market is closely tied to the worldwide increase in construction activities. Construction activities encompass a range of tasks involved in creating, modifying, or demolishing structures and infrastructure. Construction companies, contractors, and skilled professionals in the industry commonly use pressure washers for cleaning and surface preparation in various construction tasks, such as equipment cleaning, concrete cleaning, brick and masonry cleaning, graffiti and stain removal, and building exterior cleaning. This surge in construction activities significantly contributes to the demand for pressure washers. For example, data from the United States Census Bureau in May 2023 revealed a 3.8% increase in construction spending, rising from $1,768.2 billion in March 2022 to $1,834.7 billion in March 2023. Additionally, housing unit starts in the US increased by 15.6%, from 1,379,600 in 2020 to 1,595,100 in 2021. These statistics underscore the impact of increasing construction activities on driving the pressure washer market.

The growth of the pressure washer market is expected to be fueled by the increased production of automobiles. Automobile production encompasses the manufacturing process of vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other motorized vehicles. Pressure washers play a crucial role in manufacturing plants and assembly lines by cleaning vehicle components, equipment, and facilities. The rise in automobile production corresponds to an increased demand for industrial-grade pressure washers for these purposes. Notably, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, global motor vehicle production in 2021 reached 79.1 million units, reflecting a 1.3% increase. This uptrend in automobile production is a significant driver for the growth of the pressure washer market.

Product innovation emerges as a prominent trend within the pressure washer market, with major companies actively pursuing innovative solutions to bolster their market positions. Notably, in February 2021, Nilfisk Group, a Denmark-based manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment, introduced its next generation of high-pressure washers featuring models 125, 130, 140, and 140 in-hand power-control pressure washers. These cutting-edge products incorporate several new features, including an internal hose reel, ultra-flex hose, and in-hand power control. Designed to be relatively light and easy to maneuver, these high-pressure washers find applications in diverse commercial and industrial settings, excelling in heavy-duty cleaning tasks and contributing to the maintenance of cleanliness in public areas, parks, sidewalks, public buildings, and other municipal facilities.

Leading companies in the pressure washer market are also directing their focus towards innovative solutions such as wall-mounted pressure washers. Wall-mounted pressure washers are a specialized type designed to be affixed to a wall or fixed surface rather than existing as standalone units. For instance, in June 2023, Giraffe Tools, a US-based company specializing in innovative tools, introduced the Grandfalls P115-G20, a noteworthy addition to their wall-mounted Grandfalls Pressure Washers series. Distinguishing itself as the first to integrate a pressure washer with a self-retracting hose, this product emphasizes user-friendliness. Featuring a built-in 65-foot DS trigger-retract super hose, the Grandfalls P115-G20 offers substantial cleaning coverage, making it an ideal solution for various tasks such as washing decks, patios, pavements, garden furniture, walls, windows, and car detailing. The 180-degree body rotation further enhances its versatility by efficiently covering more areas.

In June 2023, Handy, a UK-based garden equipment manufacturer, announced a collaboration with AVA, a Norwegian-based company specializing in user-friendly, efficient, and design-focused pressure washers.
