Regional Insights

North America dominated the market with a revenue share of over 33% in 2023. This is attributed to the growing consumption owing to the ongoing pandemic and increased demand from various industries for their manufacturing units. North America is a well-established market and is a manufacturing hub for many industries, propelling the high demand for industrial & institutional cleaning chemicals products.

Industrial And Institutional Cleaning Chemicals Market Trends, by Region, 2024 - 2030

The growing number of manufacturing facilities in the U.S. is anticipated to boost the demand for cleaning chemicals used in maintaining the workspace and warehouses. This will have a positive impact on the regional demand for industrial and institutional chemicals, boosting global market revenues.

Second in line in terms of market revenue share is the Asia Pacific region. The market in the Asia Pacific region is growing rapidly owing to the spread of pandemic and growing manufacturing industries in the region. Rapidly rising new business arrangements through the region are likely to reflect heavy growth opportunities for industrial and institutional cleaning chemicals manufacturers in the region to serve the regional market space.

The whole Asia Pacific region is undergoing prompt development. Macroeconomic factors such as a large population, growing healthcare facilities and industrial manufacturing output, and raw material availability at cost-effective rates are likely to drive the industrial and institutional cleaning chemicals industry in the region.

Market Dynamics

Healthcare-associated infections in Canada are still a major problem, resulting in the need for development of various strategies to avoid related contaminations with medical devices. Consequently, the Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program (CNISP) has surveyed to address the problems and collect hospital-wise data. There were 687,000 healthcare-associated infections in the U.S. acute care hospitals. Approximately, 72,000 hospital patients with healthcare-associated infections died during their hospitalizations. However, the national and state governments are trying their best to reduce the occurrence of HAIs by escalating the utilization of surface disinfectants and submitting different regulatory guidelines. The rising hygiene standards in the healthcare sector are positively impacting the demand for the industrial and institutional cleaning chemicals industry.

Moreover, according to the American Chemical Society, chemists working on bio-based chemicals are addressing global environmental issues and the socioeconomically unsustainable dependence of manufacturers on petroleum, which is a key feedstock for a wide array of products. The development of renewable feedstock derived from plant sources using catalytic chemistry is critical to achieving sustainability. Consumer consciousness toward the sustainability of the chemical ingredients used to manufacture consumer goods has increased. Thus, leading to a rise in the demand for bio-based cleaning products, positively impacting the market growth.

Raw Material Insights

Major raw materials used in the production of I&I cleaning chemicals include chlor-alkali, surfactants, solvents, and phosphates among others. Major feedstock used for the derivation of cleaning chemicals are petrochemicals; however, the emergence of bioethanol based on agricultural waste material, corn or sugarcane, lately has altered the market trend toward bio-based raw materials. The surfactants segment dominated the market with a revenue share of more than 29% in 2023. This high share is attributable to the extensive use of surfactants for the production of fabric softeners, herbicides, lubricants, anti-fogging liquids, inks, shaving creams, emulsifiers, and adhesives, among others.

The chemical properties of surfactants make them suitable for utilization in the manufacturing of many products. The antimicrobial properties of surfactants make them desirable to be used in cleaning products. The surfactant-based products have high efficiency, are highly demanded globally, and are likely to exhibit a high growth rate over the forecast period.

Another popular raw material segment that is among the top is the solvent segment. It is another widely utilized raw material for the production of chemical cleaners. Solvency for oils & greases, compatibility with water, and biodegradable properties make it an ideal raw material for the production of chemical cleaners, which can be utilized in diverse industries.

The biodegradable nature of solvent-based cleaning chemicals makes them more suitable as it minimizes the environmental damage and pollution caused by the cleaning chemicals. The high demand for the solvent segment from different industries has boosted the global industrial and institutional cleaning chemicals industry as it contributes significantly to the growth and revenue of the global market.

Product Insights

General-purpose cleaner’s product segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 34% in 2023.
