The rising automotive production is expected to propel the growth of the industrial degreaser market going forward. Automotive production refers to the manufacturing of motor vehicles, including passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles. This rise in production is largely driven by increasing demand for personal and commercial transportation, supported by urbanization, higher disposable incomes, and growing logistics and mobility needs. Industrial degreasers play an important role in the automotive sector by facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of various vehicle components, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. For instance, in April 2024, according to the Serbian Association of Vehicle and Parts Importers, a Serbia-based professional automotive organization, global vehicle production reached 93,546,599 units in 2023 - including 67,133,570 passenger vehicles - up from 84,830,376 units in 2022. Therefore, the rising automotive production is driving the growth of the industrial degreaser market.

Major companies operating in the industrial degreaser market are developing innovative products such as high-purity hydrocarbons and alcohol degreasers to better serve customer needs. High-purity hydrocarbon and alcohol degreasers use highly refined solvents for critical cleaning applications, effectively removing grease, lubricants, cutting fluids, corrosion inhibitors, and other contaminants commonly found in industrial environments. For instance, in July 2023, Molyslip, a UK-based manufacturer of specialist lubricants, launched SLIPCLEAN RD, a highly effective cleaner and degreaser designed to remove various industrial soils and impurities including oil, grease, carbon deposits, inks, and semi-cured adhesives. Formulated with high-quality hydrocarbons and alcohol, SLIPCLEAN RD ensures powerful cleaning performance while leaving no residue, and its rapid evaporation rate enables quick drying and exceptionally clean surfaces.
