Market Segment

• In 2023, the surfactants segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the ingredient type, the Europe industrial cleaning chemicals market is segmented into surfactants, solvents, chelating agents, pH regulators, solubilizers, and enzymes. Among these, the surfactants segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. A chemical substance known as a surfactant changes the properties of water by simply lowering its surface tension. It quickly allows cleaning agents to penetrate wet surfaces, making grime easier to loosen and remove. Surfactants are widely recognized as the primary ingredient in all cleaning products.

• In 2023, the general-purpose cleaners segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the product type, the Europe industrial cleaning chemicals market is segmented into general-purpose cleaners, disinfectants & sanitizers, laundry care products, vehicle wash products, food cleaners, and metal cleaners. Among these, the general-purpose cleaners segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. The demand for general-purpose cleaners has grown as people become more conscious of cleanliness and hygiene, particularly in their homes, workplaces, and public spaces. Cleaning products are being used more frequently as consumers become more aware of the necessity of maintaining a clean and healthy environment. Rapid urbanization, changing lifestyles, and hectic schedules have all raised the demand for practical and effective cleaning solutions. When looking for quick and efficient cleaning solutions, city dwellers frequently turn to general purpose cleaners, which provide a versatile solution for a variety of surfaces.

• In 2023, the foam cleaning segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the application method, the Europe industrial cleaning chemicals market is segmented into manual cleaning, CIP (Clean-In-Place), foam cleaning, and spray cleaning. Among these, the foam cleaning segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Foam cleaning is typically used to clean items with hard-to-reach spaces that are inaccessible to other industrial cleaning methods. This treatment involves applying detergent to a machine or surface to produce foam. This type of cleaning can effectively remove dirt that other methods cannot. At higher abrasion pressures, mechanical cleaning effectiveness can be achieved, eliminating dust, metal, and other particles.

• In 2023, the commercial buildings segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the end-user, the Europe industrial cleaning chemicals market is segmented into automotive, aerospace, commercial buildings, food processing, manufacturing, health care, and retail & foodservice. Among these, the commercial buildings segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Rising awareness of cleanliness and hygiene, strict workplace safety and sanitation regulations, and global commercial space expansion are all factors influencing segmental growth. Chemicals used for industrial cleaning are also used in a variety of commercial applications. For example, they are employed in workplaces to clean desks, floors, and common areas. They work in the hospitality industry, cleaning restaurants, hotels, and public spaces. Medical equipment, patient rooms, and operating rooms are all sanitized in healthcare facilities with specialized cleaning solutions.
