The global water/aqueous based parts washer market was valued at USD 482.5 Million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 661.8 Million by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. The demand for water/aqueous based parts washer is growing as manufacturing industry is growing in developing economies, which is driving the demand for these washers. Moreover, rising applications of water/aqueous based parts washers in the aerospace industry is also aiding the growth of global water/aqueous based parts washer market.
Market Dynamics
Manufacturing plays a key role in the economic growth of developing countries. Water/aqueous-based parts washers are integral to many manufacturing processes. The expansion of automotive, aerospace, medical, and other industries in developing economies is projected to fuel the demand for water/aqueous-based parts washers during the forecast period. Moreover, end-users from the manufacturing industry are emphasizing on increasing the life span of equipment to reduce maintenance & operation cost and increasing profits. This, in turn, is anticipated to increase the demand for water/aqueous-based parts washers, as they help maintain the operational efficiency of the industrial and manufacturing equipment by removing dirt, grease, oil, among other contaminants. The adoption of automatic water/aqueous-based parts washers is rising among end-use industries, as they reduce labor costs and increase productivity. Automatic water/aqueous-based parts washers use lesser water and detergent as compared to manual washers, which reduces the amount of wastewater. Moreover, automatic water/aqueous-based parts washers are available in several designs and varieties to meet the cleaning needs and space constraints of the end-user industries. This, in turn, is anticipated to boost the demand for automatic water/aqueous-based parts washers during the forecast period.
However, Water/aqueous-based parts washers have been used for decades to meet the cleaning needs in the manufacturing industry. However, requirement for high initial start-up costs and skilled labor for operating water/aqueous-based parts washers are anticipated to hamper the market during the forecast period. Moreover, lack of awareness about automated water/aqueous-based parts washers among end-users is anticipated to impede the demand for water/aqueous-based parts washers in the coming years.
With the introduction of water/aqueous-based detergents, many negative environmental impacts of solvents have been eliminated. Modern water-based chemistries are formulated for removing a wide variety of soils from different materials, such as plastics aluminum, steel, copper, glass, and brass. Environmentally friendly cleaning detergents are extensively used for cleaning in most industries. Through advances in water-based cleaning processes in the industry, cleaning with water has become widely accepted and is a preferred method for cleaning manufacturing and industrial parts.
Cleaning with water and water-based cleaning fluids is cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to solvents. Hence, end-use industries are adopting water/aqueous-based parts washers to reduce industrial waste and reduce environmental concerns. Effective water-based cleaning is achieved through the accurate combination of water/detergent, mechanical scrubbing, and heat in the water/aqueous-based parts washer. This, in turn, is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities in the water/aqueous-based parts washer market during the forecast period.
