For example, data published by the World Bank in April 2023 shows that commitments to private participation in infrastructure (PPI) in 2022 totaled $91.7 billion across 263 projects in low- and middle-income countries, representing a 23% increase compared to 2021. Consequently, the increase in new infrastructure projects is fueling the growth of the drain cleaning equipment market.

Leading companies in the drain cleaning equipment market are prioritizing technological advancements, such as wall-to-wall drain cleaners, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of plumbing system maintenance. A wall-to-wall drain cleaner represents advanced technology or equipment designed to thoroughly clean and clear drains across the entire surface area of pipes. For instance, in August 2023, The Ridgid Tool Company, a US-based equipment manufacturer, introduced its K9-12 FlexShaft Drain Cleaning Machine. This machine is designed for efficient cleaning of pipes ranging from 1 1/4" to 2" in diameter. It is compact and lightweight, with a fully enclosed housing containing 30 feet (9.1 meters) of FlexShaft cable, which is protected by a durable nylon sheath to minimize mess and simplify cleanup. The K9-12 operates by connecting a cordless drill to the input shaft, causing the cable to spin and the attached chain knocker to expand, enabling comprehensive wall-to-wall cleaning. This machine is particularly effective for light residential blockages, offering quick setup, easy cleanup, and cordless convenience to restore pipes to full flow capacity.
